Maybe I'd feel different if I lived on one, BUT I don't so I'm gonna vent!! Less than ten minutes from my house I've google earthed nine private lakes no less than 1/2 mile wide/long (some 1 mile wide/long). I'm talking about some serious water...100's of acres and NO public access. I know they hold some trophy size fish and I think it's a shame they are private. I would think they would be public land... it's not on any home owner's deed etc...... so why not any easement to gain access to them? Just go on google earth and look around where you live and I think you'll find the same thing. In my area (Eustis) alone you'll see Lake Saunders, East Crooked Lake, Lake Joana, Lake Gertrude, Lake Nettie, Lake Swatara, Lake Seneca, and Lake Ola. These are the bigger ones!! If I win the "BIG ONE" I'm going to buy every house on one of these lakes and bull doze them down. Then I'm going build a giant fish camp with all the imentities, camping, cabins, deluxe ramps, slabfest areas, oh! and a Bass Pro Shop just for us crappie people and it's all going be free!!
I feel better now
