It may seem like there is no place in Florida for anglers looking for some freshwater fishing. The drainage canals of Southwest Florida are hundreds of miles long, and contain tons of unique fish throughout the entire body of water. The three major canal systems are Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, and Gold Gate. All of these canals have boat ramps set up, as well as bridges where people are allowed to fish from and plenty of banks where anglers can catch fish.
Unfortunately, certain regions of Florida only have a few lakes that are natural. Of these natural lakes, there is truly only one that is open to the public, but it on the farming land of the Immokalee. As a native of Florida, Tom Forlander knows all of the best places to go, to fish and to do any other type of outdoor activity.
Southwest Florida does not seem like the go-to place for anglers to find their freshwater fishing sport, but the land has many lakes fully stocked with bass, catfish and panfish. If you drive around long enough, you will find many vehicles parked alongside the major roads. These are local and traveling fisherman working the canals. It is legal to park but also be mindful of traffic and other safety hazards when deciding on your location. Florida is also known for other wildlife such as Alligators and other predatory animals that can be dangerous.
Mark your locations on your map and share with others as to your findings. You’ll find local shops and fisherman to be quite helpful in your research. The canals offer bass, catfish and panfish of all different types, providing a haven for anglers looking to get a catch.
