    I dont know why there wouldnt be. I know people who have bream fished it and bass fished it and did well. No reason why there would not be healthy specs in it. Only thing I have done there is stopped on my way home from Edgewater and flushed my motor and trailer.

    Put a few in the boat a couple of years ago, all were 10"-11" size maybe they've grown-up. A local told me there was a massive fish kill 3yrs prior to my outing, said it was pesticides, maybe someone know's more to the story. Haven't been back since, no flowage through that lake.
    crappie down !

    That lake has it's issues, pesticides & a hard freeze hurt the fish a couple yrs ago. The water level is up & down, usually down which never seems to help the water quality. I have caught some specks there but no zilla's, nothing even close. If we go we usually cruise around & enjoy the scenery, there is seniors bass club that fish there - in fact they are having a tournament today.
    I have had problems before of people stealing stuff out of my truck while I was fishing, must be locals that live close by.
    The lake has nothing feeding it except rain water runoff form people's yards & surrounding neighborhoods.
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

    A child was killed by a gator there several years back. Officials found the body and killed the gator, so just a heads up. I've caught specks in most any Deltona area lake but never could eat any knowing the pesticides/fertilizer in their diet. Caught a bunch in the lake at Elckam and Howland, that lake has springs, barely keepers, no slabs. Had lots of fun with em, kept me busy. Friend has a house on that lake and I could leave the boat in the water.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
