• Note: The "Paper" button on the map is from Zee Map where they create a PDF file for printing then email you one back, but they do charge for this! Alternately, you can print the map using your browser print function which is free. I recommend you do a print preview from your browser and only print the page where the map shows up.

Location and Method:

This lake is near Sarasota and Myakka City. It is a smaller lake with lots of gators. There is a small fee to enter the state park. Nice in that it is fairly close to the Florida west coast beaches. Lots of fish in this lake!

#1- Pads in 3-4 ft of water- Scattered pads hold smaller fish. Try 1/8 ounce black/blue or junebug worm. Good spring through summer.

#2- Cove littered with stumps just south west of Upper Myakka River- Use 1/8 ounce junebug worm or Senko. Water 3-4 ft deep. Make long casts as fish are spooky in shallow water. Spring through fall.

#3- Myakka River- Move up river 200-300 yards. Work grass edges with 1/8 ounce junebug worm. Water approx. 2-3 ft deep. Mouth of river at lake can have some schoolers. Use flike or small worm. All year.

#4- Water approx. 50 yards from birdwalk. Usually current still here. 1/8 ounce junebug or spinnerbait good. 2-3 ft deep. Summer spot.

#5- Right side littered with pads/weeds just out from boat ramp canal. 3-4 ft deep. Worm 1/8 ounce redshad worm in cover slowly. Spring through fall.

#6- Open water 50-100 yards from dam- Fish migrate through this spot. 1/8 ounce junebug or blackblue tail worms best. Any time of year.
