Nice catch, is Henderson off Rt 27 just south of Haines City ? Always wondered about that lake when driving by for work sometimes, looks like 2 lakes in 1 if it's the 1 I'm thinking about![]()

Went fishing with my wife today on Lake Henderson in Inverness. This was my first trip to Henderson crappie fishing and it turned out pretty good. We finally started fishing around 8:30 and caught our first fish 10 minutes later, 1lb 11oz. The bite was pretty good until around 10:30. We ended up catching 15 specs and 6 bass. Took home 12 specks. The 7 big speck weight was 8lb 11oz. My wife had a blast landing a 4 lb bass on her 12 ft crappie pole. That drag was screaming for quite a while. I couldn't offer her any help because I had 2 bass on at the same time, one on each side of the boat. Must have went through a school. So overall it was a great day on Lake Henderson....![]()
