    Skiff, that's as good a tailgate full of fish as I've ever seen. Great day!
    Mr Kitchens, you might look into the Deland area. It's a ways south but also is closer to Monroe near Sanford, another good destination. Highland Park fish camp is on the St. Johns and has some provisions and info. Just a thought

    Earl, we have stayed many times at Georgia Boys on Dunn's Creek and it is very good. Dunn's Creek runs from the St John River over to Crescent on the North end. It is a 8+ mile run from Ga Boys to Crescent. We stayed at Lakeview a few times and the stay was good but you will need to launch downtown every day. They have two sets of ramps and both are jam up.

    This January there will be 10 of us and we are going to try Leonard's Landing. We all like the idea of a boat slip and walking from room to boat every day. I will review Leonard after the visit.

    Do you feel comfortable leaving your tackle in your boat at night at Leonard's? Just curious about the safety standpoint at Leonard's if I was to bring my daughter with me. PM me if response can't be posted. Thanks.

    I stayed at Leonard's last year in Jan & it was fine, I felt ok as far as safety goes for stayin there. But I don't & wouldn't leave my tackle or anything in the boat that someone else might like more than me no matter where I am stayin.
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

    Enjoyed fishing Crescent a couple of years ago. Caught our fair share of big fish that we released. Would really like to return one day and do it again while the fishing is still good. Love to see good reports just hate to see all them big fish get taken out. Think the smaller fish taste better anyway. I'm afraid that I agree with some of the comments on here that the size and numbers of these big fish will decline quickly if everyone keeps on keeping these big fish. Just my 2 cents worth.

    My sister and I fished Crescent last Sunday. We kept 17 in the livewell, longest was 15", smallest was 12.5". There were about 4 or 5 2lbers in there, but we decided to release them. My sister said she felt much better about the trip once they were back In the lake.
    Can't say I always release them, but sometimes its nice to let em swim away.

    Have been crappie fishing only a couple of years, but after seeing what appears to be going on at the Choctawhatchee River in the panhandle I'm inclined to agree there should be a 10 inch minimum state-wide. So far this year the majority of crappie I've caught are about 9 to 10 inches and less although I've got enough larger to bring to the house. Have been hearing reports of "gave them a whuppin" and "tore them up", which is probably true to a degree....but based on my own experience I have to wonder about the size that is going in the box. Yesterday I caught 9 in Lake Jackson, Leon County, and they were all about 6 to 9 inches. First time I have crappie fished this lake so don't know anything about what is normal for numbers or size. Saw a good number on the sonar in a 20 ft hole that showed up as small fish....and they were just that.....small.
