no im not having problems finding lakes in fl, just good lakes that arent dying because of the water managment killing them and giving our lakes to big sugar to kill.... the problem is the lake i go to [okeechobee] is dying and has not come back from the hurricanes. i was there yesterday and it was depressing. we live on the coast of fl and all the other lakes are too far to go on a day of fishing. some of the other lakes around me are too small and get clogged up with jetskiers.i live on the coast and have a custom built bass boat and i dont like saltwater fishing.the the thread isnt about arging about lakes its trying to find jobs out of state.
