| Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have experience of fishing in the ponds/lakes at Terre Verde and Trafalgar Village?
We are planning a week in Orlando at the beginning of April and thought it would be nice to do a bit of fishing whilst there (nothing too serious).
We haven't booked yet but are thinking about a resort type community which has other facilities also. Two we are considering are Terre Verde and Trafalgar Village but we would be grateful if anyone can point use to any other resorts that have similar facilities (clubhouse, large communal pool, beach, etc. and fishing of course!).
What sort of fish do these community lakes typically hold and what type of fishing/rig/bait is recommended?
Many thanks. | | Report this post to a moderator |

| I am pretty sure Trafalger is sticked with bass, although most lakes/ponds will have bass in anyway. You always get decent catfish to (good eating). A reasonable setup from walmart is very cheap. If you cross over the road from trafalgar to the entrance of Crescent Lakes. Take a walk across the the grass immediately left. The is man made lake which backs onto natural water. The natural water is excellent fishing, I have had some whoppers out of there without much effort. The lake that Blotts house backs onto has some large bass to but its residents only there.

| Well its going to be Terre Verde for our vacation in Orlando, hope to get a bit of fishing in there.
Can anyone tell me whether the bridge from the clubhouse is the only place fishing is allowed, or can you fish from the bank also?
Since I am taking a bit of tackle with me, what BS line would be most suitable? Also what bait has been most successful?
Many thanks again for any replies.
