I have a 14' jon with a 15 hp Johnson. I have fished a lot of places around here and never really felt outgunned. Wind can definitely be a factor, and some rides will get a bit bumpy if there is wind, but I have never felt unsafe in my boat.

Mornin'

Too bad its gonna be howlin' and raining today or I would've gone fishing.

Sometimes you have that feeling and things just go your way. Great to see!

Those are some nice'uns!

Fished the tournament yesterday at the lighthouse, however it was a FSU Fishing Club tournament, not the NFGCFC tournament. Whoever predicted the weather got it wrong yesterday, but I still made it out. Two people in my little jon, but I caught five trout all on a green and yellow jig. Also had one ...

Thanks, I appreciate it

I'm looking for a place to store a 16' flats boat. Don't need anything too fancy, as long as its secure and has power. Finding somewhere with an outlet has proven difficult. Just looking to store it for the summer. Any ideas? Thanks

I fished Shired Island a couple of times which is also in the area and never really did to well. Caught a couple nice reds but that was about it.

Thanks for the great info. Very interesting how the channel runs all the way through FSU campus and into Frenchtown. I always wondered where the ditch in between the baseball field and Wildwood Hall went!

I just saw on Google Maps that it appeared dry in 2012. It seemed to be full in 2011. There was one deep channel running through it during the time it was dry. Still worth a shot.

Thanks for the heads up. Eating is not the main priority in this case, merely finding some nice bass to catch. I can't wait to get out there the cypress trees make the lake look really pretty.

How long ago do you think that the lake dried up if it did?

Anyone ever fished here? I discovered a week ago and fished from the damn and around it. I am hoping to get the jon out this weekend and try and find some bedded up lunkers.

Thinking of going camping on Cayo Costa near Fort Myers. Has anyone ever camped there before?
