Central florida newbie

Just joined the site, also just relocated to central Fl. I have a boat and close access to Lake Monroe and St. Johns river. Any advice on getting started on these hot August days for crappie or bream would be appreciated. I have two local Grandsons, ages 9 and 7, and am anxious to get them started catching fish.

Thanks in advance for any local advice. Lucca

Welcome from GEORGIA.

Hey Mike, That's a very generous offer. Thanks. I think I'll do that and plan to launch from Monroe Park about that time too. My boat is a skiff/flat boat, blue and I drive a tan F150. If I'm up early I might even launch at the public launch across the way and meet you at the monroe park dock in my boat. What do you suggest I bring for bait? Crikets and worms? Thanks again and I hope to see you Thursday morning at 7. Lee aka Lucca

Sounds like you may be close to Cresent Lake at Cresent City Florida. If so, locate Grimsley's slough across from leonards landing. Fish both sides for some great bream fishing. I mean big bream. Has been goog all summer. Good luck

Thanks for the encouragement and offer if I come that way. I plan to at some point. Where would be a good place to put in? Are the spec hitting yet or picking up? Thanks, Lucca
