I am going to be headed down to Florida for my nieces wedding in early December and I know I'm going to have a bunch of time before and after the event......would like to do some crappie fishing in the Clermont area. Boat isn't a problem, my wifes family has the boat but they don't fish.
I was hoping someone could point me in a direction and any advice you can give me, which is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Don't get down that way..... Hopefully someone down there will chime in and help you out.... If you don't hear from someone just check out a baitshop for info. Good luck
If Stu happens to check in he can give lots of pointers on that chain. Maybe send him a pm. He goes by Slowride on here.
I would love to help u out, but just started on Crappie. I get about 4 a WEEK on a good week and fish almost daily for 3 hrs. The Bobby Garland monkey milk with tail dipped in chart is my best presentation. Not sure water visibility in Clermont, but here lately ours has been down to 4-6 feet.
Johns Lake is good. Lake Louisa is good. Google the ramps. Most any lake you can get into is good right now. Probably even catch some in Lake Apopka, maybe.
What's the best setup for the Florida lakes mentioned?
Excellent follow up question :popcornQuote:

Steve, we live about 45 minutes from Clermont and you are more than welcome to come try out the 11 acre private lake we live on. It's electric motor only...good thing I have a 2 seater pond prowler with trolling motor �� Pm me if interested and we can set it up.

I’ve had a lot of success longlining Lake Minneola on the north end back in my boating days. In kayak only now.

Push and pull on Mineola and Minnehaha, Louisa can be good but seems real hit and miss, Johns Lake is pretty good, water is a lot clearer, Clermont chain is very tanic (dark), that chain typically lags behinds others in terms of when the fish turn on. Went out 2 weeks ago and caught 8 dinks and 1 decent fish on the chain. On a good morning you can do quite well. White and Chartreuse jigs for the long lining. Good Luck
