Mike, You mean Sanford av....county park at the end? I don't suggest that one. To secluded....I would be afraid to park there etc. I use SR46....it's a LONG kick but I prefer it over Sanford av. Sanford av is also very shallow getting out at times.

Yes that one. And the shallow area is what I was saying was tuff. I probably would not use that either, but the locals sure would and do.

I have never fished Jessup. Not sure why other than I never knew where to start.

Jessup is an easy lake to learn.... It's big but not that tricky..... Look on Google earth for soldiers creek.... That open area is good fishing..... Also under the 417 if you see other boats there.... Great shore line around the south and west sides.... Later they'll be in the bull rushes and there's plenty of those all around the entire lake.

Thanks. I will try it...j

Never had the chance to fish there but once myself. I do know its clearly not a lake you want to fall into............gator bait city.
