Love that place! :thumbup: :thumbup: We went down every Spring for a 4 yr period. Caught tons of bass some of which went over 8lbs. Used to stay at the Panavista Lodge right where the Withlacochee meets the lake. Very cool area.

Yep.. we missed em by 10 minutes Thursday night (close at 9pm)... but we shut em down Friday night...
We stayed at PanaVista last 3 times.. tried Tracy's Point this time.. highly recommended...
They also just got em a bar on the water - delivered the night we arrived... i was the first ever to spill a drink on the new bar... my buddy said I should get a plate on there with my name on it :beer:
