Any tips for a first timer on Lake Tarpon?

[jersh]

I plan on visiting Lake Tarpon for the first time on Tuesday and pursuing crappie and bass.

i will be fishing from a motorized kayak, just curious if anyone can recommend a good launch spot where I won't have to cross the main lake and/or run more than a mile or so to get to decent fishy water?

Also are there any bait shops nearby to get Missouri minnows?

thanks!

There are two ramps on the lake. Anderson Park on the northwest side off of US 19 and Chestnut Park on the southeast side of the lake. Both have good ramps and a fee of $6. I think Anderson Park would be better for you with good Crappie fishing relatively close to the ramp.
