Thread: Bait shops lake Tarpon???

Where is foxes corner????????

Rodgers park is on the weekiwache river.

Feed Depot-Fox's Corner - Odessa, FL 33556 - (813)920-2514 ... don't have any until thursday next week.

Thought the man have gone a little "adrift" on his response as to bait shop
and where to fish..............
Thanks for update Dave

I know where Foxes Corner is but can you tell me where Rogers Park is? Also Is the ramp you are using on the west side of Lake Tarpon in a park? If so could it be Anderson Park?

Start on the east bank at 1st light directly across the lake from Rogers park towards the north end. trolling north and south will get you over some good holes where they seem to stack up. Daylight until 10am is best unless it's overcast but if it's windy your better off staying home. If you see the white ranger spider rigging, wave hello

Going to try to get on the lake for a couple hours this weekend. Have a bunch of house chores to do. After spending time reading various post excluding the 101 post. Think I will try crank baiting. Ordered bandit 200's. Maybe get a couple 300's as well. Once I get a feel of the lake then I will look into what rods I want. Trolling or long lining. Will be using my saltwater flats rods for now.

Can I mix crankbaiting with longlining when dragging?

Long-ling regarding Spec fishermen probably the same "crankbaiting" or "Dreagging"
Anything involved when pulling baits through water when power is being used.
Pushing is considered same as Spider rigging - only at much slower speed and your
pushing jigs, cranks through water under power

Other forms could be used - Bottom bounching - dragging with walking rods (mainly used up North on rocky bottomed lakes)-
drifting - bobbering - jigging (single or double)

Bottom line - you can fish any way you wish down here, any style. It would be nice
to use a relationship style (coined reference)so as others can be on same page as
yourself - getting the benefit from your post.

Longlining is trolling. Any rod will do, rods anywhere in the boat can be used for longlining/trolling. Rod length helps in keeping baits apart and makes a wider path through the water. Any bait on those rods is up to you. Similar baits would be easier to control and prevent tangles, must keep baits separated. Length of line out and speed of boat determines depth of bait. Please let us know how you do with the bandits. The bandits may match the shad in size at the end of growing season. I have another week of light duty before I try to get out. May go to Polk county first before Tarpon.
