Lake Worth has some nice areas for carp and buffalo. Keep an eye here for the next get together and drop by. Everyone is usually quite willing to share advise.

If you're looking for quantity, then check out Marine Creek. If you want a chance at catching some good sized fish, then start researching Lake Worth. Since the lake had a consumption ban for so long, the locals stopped fishing and all of the fish increased in size. I think the ban is still on??? Some good sized Carp there and even bigger Buffs.

I agree, if it is numbers you are after, lake worth has produced several 15-20 fish sessions for myself in just a few hours. Veey few fish pushing the 10lb mark but constant action. Marine creek is a complete pain in the [censored] as far as catching.
I thank God for each day!
