Lake Jessup got off to a good start and if the wind hadn't picked up I think it would have been a 3 star day. WT 73*....soldier creek and black hammock area.
Ha ! ! ! !
Love it ! ! ! ! ! :Rofl :cheers2 :Rofl
Great day fer sure! Great report!
Looks good. Glad one of us got to go.
I love it, except for stealing Phantom prose. You are in again. Now I recognized you.
That's a good size fish for Jessup, Mike, even has some color...thanks for giving her a try:ThumbsUp
Didn't know there were Specks in Jessup , thanks for showing Me lol RR
Great picture..........the sunrise I mean :Rofl
Haven't been to Jessup n a long time
Think I'm gonna go over there when spawn sets in and jig the banks where all the bullrushes/cane grows.
Have a friend that told me of a time in his youth, he and his father did that and loaded up on em ................
Jessup is overlooked a lot cause the fish don't seem to get as big as other places....don't know why.....they're fat and healthy....maybe it's the overpopulation of gators.....The soldier creek area runs 4 to 8' deep and no snags to worry about....would make great place to pull or push......the mouth of the creek looks like a great place to jig......best lake ever to get out of the wind also..... we only took a couple of poles and some minners and just flipped the banks etc. I'm sure if you hit the open water and covered some ground you'd get a limit easy......mostly 10 to 11+"...... I think my 1 1/2 star rating was a little unfair....it wasn't the lakes fault we didn't take enough equipment and the &*&%$ wind was howling!:biggrinQuote:

Mike that sunrise pic is awesome!, top 10 easy in my book. The retire fart not so much :)
Nice report buddie!
You retired guys are KILLING ME ALREADY...........
Mike, You mean Sanford av....county park at the end? I don't suggest that one. To secluded....I would be afraid to park there etc. I use SR46....it's a LONG kick but I prefer it over Sanford av. Sanford av is also very shallow getting out at times.Quote:

I have never fished Jessup. Not sure why other than I never knew where to start.
Jessup is an easy lake to learn.... It's big but not that tricky..... Look on Google earth for soldiers creek.... That open area is good fishing..... Also under the 417 if you see other boats there.... Great shore line around the south and west sides.... Later they'll be in the bull rushes and there's plenty of those all around the entire lake.Quote:

Never had the chance to fish there but once myself. I do know its clearly not a lake you want to fall into............gator bait city.
Now that's the way to represent. Good jay oh bee!Quote:
