Fishing near Deerfield Beach, Florida

In Florida, Deerfield Beach falls inside Palm Beach County. There is enough water within reach to fish somewhere new each week. Nearest to furthest: Lake Boca Raton out at 2.4 miles to the north-east, Lake Wyman out at 3.9 miles, Lake Rogers out at 4.8 miles to the north followed by Rock Pit Lake out at 13 miles. Rock Pit Lake has the kind of soft bottom that keeps weed thick into autumn. Standing water makes up nearly all of it. A soft bottom fishes differently from a hard one. Cold is never the limiting factor here. Water temperature moves less here than daylight does. Lake Boca Raton, the closest, runs to roughly 62 acres. There is a launch at Lake Boca Raton, so a boat is an option there. What has been logged nearby: bluegill, largemouth bass, blue runner, spottail pinfish and yellow jack. For a first trip out of Deerfield Beach, Lake Boca Raton is the obvious one to try....
