Has anyone fished either of these lakes at the southern end of the Villages with any success?

Lake Deaton once. Got skunked.

Don't you guys worry about gators when fishing in these lakes, especially in small boats or on shore?

I fish out of a kayak when I'm in The Villages....no worries.

Pat, you're braver than me. I've seen alligators bigger than kayaks, and certainly more stable.
