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...
We havent but thats not too far from my home town. Would love to hear more if you get a chance to go there.
Hows the professor doing?

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-linedAttachment 133784Attachment 133785Attachment 133786
Nice lookin lake. Lesst ys caught a few for all the labor.
Looks like a cool trip !!
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..............
Thanks for the great pics. Sure helps the workday go by when you've got some water to look at!:banghead

My PFD is not big enough to put 4 people in that Gheenoe!
We might have our own gheenoe by then... :-) Been looking at the used ones on craigs list. Been thinking about getting one to use in the rivers up here in Virginia.
Ginny
Gheenoe's are very stable - have 15'6" one
have set up to carry 3.2 merc. mtr, 46 lb trolling motor and up to 8 rods for
long lining or spider riggin. (usually have 12 rods on board)
Along with usual 3 tackle bxs, 78 qt cooler /live well with areation pump, electronics,
12 volt marine battery, bait buckets, pfd's, small coolers for drinks, sandwiches. net.
What started out as 156 lbs of Gheenoe that could be somewhat easly moved from
trlr to water, now almost requires derek to lift and set in water - can use them
to fish phosphate pits very nicely and find those "honey holes" to explore
