Lake Buffum, Polk County
1,585 acres was water varying
from 18' deep to 4 ft. Somewhat
difficult access unless someone knows
someone with boat ramp access. Limited
number of homes. Over years have
repretation for producing 3 lb plus spec's.

Curious is anyone has ever fished this lake..
can reply on forum or send me pm...

How long ago was that picture taken? The rainy season has been strong in the bartow area this year. Maybe the lake is up more now and the public ramp is accessible?

pictures shown were taken 5/24/111

pictures below were taken yesterday- we used a Gheenoe to put in with.
Put it on ground and pulled it to water maybe 30' (sure miss the derek that
i usually launch it with)
Yelim & i worked hard getting into water...
Above average on clearness of lake - has to be spring fed, looked for creeks and
ditches -(none) did not locate any hydrillia - heavy winds out of east reduced the
time spend working lake with only trolling mtr - 1500 acres plus fair size lake. pic #1
below is reverse looking from lake back at ramp area ( water up maybe 1 1/2 ft)
caught couple 3 -4 lb. bass, 6 -7 medium size specs (8 -11") long-lined

I thought picture of Yelim over his back at the sunrise was just great.............
May have it enlarged for wall...............1500 acres of great water.

I'm going back for sure, for sure..............
