• Where to Fish on Treasure Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include largemouth bass, bluegill, bowfin, Florida gar and black crappie. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. On Treasure Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 82°F, the coldest about 59°F. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Treasure Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Curve Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Treasure Lake.
