    Default Crappie fishing near Tampa??


    Do any of the lakes bear Tampa have decent Crappie fishing? Or do I need to head into center of the state? Looks like I'm transferring to that location this summer.

    There is a house for sale on lake tarpon. Was looking for a house with a yard for the kids but I may have to rethink that.

    Thank you

    go on our Florida Crappie Club forum in Florida

    We have 20 tournaments a year with different lakes - can research back 5 yrs to
    various lakes around Tampa and see results, what type equipment was used
    and time of year.

    Been hearing some decent reports from Teneroc near Lakeland. That's not a bad drive from Tampa.

    I haven't transitioned to specks yet this season, but am getting ready to. Should start picking up. I haven't fished the stuff around Tampa though.

    Pretty much answered your question - 3 yrs ago - Lake Tarpon would be first on list - Medard off hwy 60 east of brandon and then moving east to Kissimmee Chain - Spec wise not all that good in the Winter Haven chain - Bass fishing is good
    East & West Toho around the city of KIssimmee
    South on I-75 - Lake Manatee is excellent Spec lake - however, restricted to motor size 20 hp
    North on I-75 Inverness - Floral City good Spec Lakes

    Have you fished medard in recent years fishin813? I fished it last year a couple times with no success.

    Did catch some sunshine bass in there on Sunday, didn't try for specks at all.
