Timing and location are two big parts of fishing, especially from shore. Not sure if you want to fish for panfish, bass , catfish?? When the fish are spawning, weekends are pretty crowded at SaddleCreek. There are also a couple of piers you could try, one is on lake Parker, the other is in Winter Haven on Lake Howard. I'm not one for fishing shoulder to shoulder, so I avoid all of the above places mentioned, but you have to do what you have to do.

I think if I was limited to shore fishing, I would take Mike's (Huntingslab's) advice, and check out the Salt fishing. Many places nearby and some with lights and parking for night fishing.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks for the advice! I fish for about anything, lol. I have begun to explore the saltwater fishing, mainly skyway (too crowded for me) and fort desoto....love exploring new water
