Heading back down to Lakeland Area
I will be in Bartow again this Jan. I will be there 21-31. Will the crappie be spawning? This is my second time to the area.
I came down last year from dec27- Jan 5 and it was unusually warm for that time of year. We caught fish but it got hot during the day that week. You think I Should bring my lights to fish at night? I saw some guys last year going to Kissimmee while I was at the bait store . They were fishing only at night and limiting out by 9:30. We were going home in a couple of days so we didn’t go there to try it.
Also a friend of mine told me to go out ofMacks fish camp and fish Kissimmee. I’m not familiar with that area. You guys have any suggestions?
Last year I fished in Garfield everyday. Average about 20 a day. But it got so hot we usually quit by 11 and went back out an hour or so before dark. We drifted with minnows mostly . There was no structure in Garfield it was just a bowl 3-6 foot deep. I would like to find some new places because I may start making this trip every winter.
Any other lake suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I don’t mind to drive 30-40 min.
This list my friend gave me. His grandfather used to live in Lakeland and he fished these lakes?
Surveyor lake,
Lake Buffum,
Walk on Water,
Crooked lake,
Hancock lake,
I know I’ve jumped all over the place with this post lol. But a few of you guys helped me out last year and it was much appreciated.
Thanks
