Lake Thonotosassa

Has anyone here hunted in it? I know nobody swims in it anymore but it used to be very popular up until the 70s.

Hey Tampa Troy,
Doesn't look like anyone here has... Might be interesting to try sometime!

Be careful.. don't submerge your head in freshwater lakes during the hot summer months. A nasty amoeba could enter through your nose, ears, etc, grow in your brain and kill you. It has happened, scared me from just reading about it. HH!

I agree with Bigwavedave about the amoeba. Especially in the hot Tampa summer months. Summertime I tend to hunt parks and winter months I hit the beaches.

I had not thought of going that deep. Would deeper be better? I can't go under anyway because my headphones won't take it.
