New member. I'd like some information about fishing in the Brandon-Plant City area.

Hi all,

Just signed up here today. I've been in Florida a few years but haven't done any fishing. I recently broke out my rods, reels and tackle boxes and decided to get back to it.
I live in Valrico, about 20 miles west of Tampa. I'm wondering if anyone here has any information about good places to fish for crappie and/or bass in this area.
I'm going to be hooking up with someone with a 17' tri hull and a 70 hp motor so I'll be able to go to the larger lakes.
I don't mind driving up to an hour away so I'm sure you guys must know some good spots.

Thanks, in advance.
