I heading down next Friday for some camping and fishing for a week. I'm looking for general info on these lakes such as water level, temps and whether the bass and crappie are biting or on the beds? My friend lives down the road from the Little Harris boat launch in Astatula so we might hit that area too.
He said bass are on the beds in the ponds in his development but the Fellsmere area is a different world than Astatula at this time of the year.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Mike
You can read the posts and check out Jim Porter(local guide) on facebook but Stickmarch and Garcia has been on the decline where as West Toho I think can be said has been on the incline since they demucked it a couple years ago. Do a search in the forum for past articles and you'll find a lot of information.
Thanks for your reply. I have been reading Jim Porter's post (only 2 this year). They are a little outdated. I also read the Blue Cypress campground posts and a couple of others for the area.
The articles in the past are just that too-outdated. I was looking for water level and temperature mainly-what they are today or recently. I know where the fish are for the most part.
I hear you about the weeds. That reservoir has changed dramatically since the hurricanes ripped the weeds out.
I guess the plan will be one day as the Farm/Marsh checking out the usual spots depending on the wind. If a no go, hit the canals and certain areas of Garcia on the windly days since you can get out of the wind somewhere.
See you next week Florida.
If the Farm is a no go hit Blue Cypress in the early morning or evenings if no wind. If nothing on these three, head to West Toho and connecting lakes.
The water here around Orlando is low and the water is already up in the mid 60s. I can only imagine toward the south that it is warmer.
