Was driving by Fishhwak rd over the weekend and noticed there are huge towers around Fishhawk ranch. Any idea what are those? Any impact on the property values around the area?

Those are radio and tv broadcast towers, I believe. They have been there for years.

The high tension lines are east of Fishhawk proper.

You are referring to the antenna farm that's on the west side of Fishhawk that consists of a number of 1000'+ tall masts that have television and radio antennas on them along Boyette Road. These have been in place for some years and predate Fishhawk, and for that matter, much of the development in the area.

I would add that there is also a small weather radar site belonging to a local broadcaster along Boyette as well.

This will give you an idea of the transmitters utilizing the masts:

AntennaWeb - Stations

Personally, having worked around broadcast transmitters in a previous career, I would never live in close proximity to these towers. Same with the power lines.

Yes, I am talking about the towers to the west of Fishhawk.
Any specifics on - "Personally, having worked around broadcast transmitters in a previous career, I would never live in close proximity to these towers. Same with the power lines." ???

They are the TV channels from the Tampa stations. When they were built they were in the middle of nowhere
