The cats there feed heavily on the baby bluegills, etc attracted to the aerators, etc--Just throw a big Muddler out and hang on as these are fighters. Like most of the urban ponds the access is tremendous. I mentioned Santiago specifically since it was kind enough to give me a World Record on the fly rod several years back. Great Cat and Bass fishing, crappie and bluegills and Tilapia all abound and it's a pretty park/place and easy to reach right off of a couple main streets, Semoran and Curry Ford plus it's straight down the main road coming out of Orlando International about three miles or so.
Hit the Fly Fisherman in Orlando and Titusville for hot flies/where to go and the Black's Point Bird Refuge across the bridge from Titusville is an easy place to spend a day casting to Reds, Sea Trout, ladyfish, etc as it's laced with salt water canals and has abundant Indian River shoreline. Check out Eric Perez or John Turcot if you are guide inclined as these two are superb at sight fishing in Mosquito Lagoon as well as the Indian River and also the No Motor Zone of the Banana River (Turcot).
