Bright moon and an empty sky tonight, with a persistent wind from the NE and no real change in pressure. Start the search at Linden Lake along points where shallow meets deep. The best of it runs night into morning. Push the good hours hard and rest through the dead ones. Cooler water spreads fish back across the shallows.
The bites are excellent now

Set in Seminole County, Linden Lake is a Florida water. It sits in scrub and brush. The water measures roughly 12 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. 0.7 miles away sits Heathrow, the nearest town. Orlando sits 15 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.
Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public wildlife records from this area list largemouth bass, bowfin and redear sunfish. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. On Linden Lake that means starting tight and working out.
Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 59°F. Every month fishes, though midsummer narrows the useful hours. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Linden Lake fishes to that pattern most years.
Public data does not answer the access question here. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Rice Lake, 0.3 miles out. Ask locally about Linden Lake if anything is unclear.
