I can catch a fish at the Lighthouse, using my credit card for bait. It even comes cleaned and cooked.

Seriously, I love to fish but wouldn’t ever eat a fish caught from any lake/pond in the Villages. Between all the pesticides, fertilizer, and weed control chemicals dumped everywhere, which ultimately wind up leaching into the water, you would be asking for a case of cancer : (

I wouldn’t even eat fish caught in huge lakes around here, like Harris or Griffin. I grew up in Leesburg on Lake Harris when you could swim, fish, ski and boats were everywhere. The world champion water skiers used to train here on Lake Harris. It’s gotten very gross over the years and now you don’t see boats and there are some fisherman out there but I doubt they’d eat them.

So, I need to find 2 or 3 other fishermen or fisherwomen that are interested in sharing the cost with me. I would hope to go 1/14, 1/21, 2/11 or 2/25. The cost would be $ 250 divided by 2, 3 or 4.

Any interest, and if so, which of those dates (any or all) work for you???

Also, if anyone has done this in the past, how was your experience???

I can go any of those dates.
Let me know if you still have an opening.
