Richie here, I have a house on Lake Griffin in Leesburg. Do you live here or just visiting?
Always looking for new fishing friends.
Thank You CG1. I agree, let’s keep each other posted.
Good morning Crappie girl.
Richie here, I live in Leesburg on Lake Griffin. Have you ever fished Griffin?
Always looking for fishing friends.
Will be selling my house soon.
Keep in touch with a PM.

Any reports for Lake Eustis? I don’t want to drive down to visit relatives there until the specks are hitting good.
We spent the day on Monday October 16th on Eustis (Mostly the Northern side, Harris, mostly around the island, and up and down the dead river. Nothing.
We will wait a couple weeks and try again.
Griffin is kind of a haul from where we launch but we need to get to Griffin and try it.
They go shallow to spawn starting late feb
Normally yes. Last year by February there was no sign of them in shallow waters and they were just barely hitting.
I decided to start earlier this season so I wouldn’t miss the spawn.
Was on the Kissimmee chain slow day got 3 mist 2 . From 2:30 till after dark
I'll be on crooked lake after Oct. I'll keep posting. This time of the year they usually congregate down deep
Thank you Terry and Kip
I will also post once I find them.

I just moved to Frostproof Florida and appreciate any updates and info on local lakes. Mostly fishing from a kayak. I'm in the" adapting to Florida conditions stage" Keeping a journal of all my missteps and making adjustments as I go.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm also hoping to find some fishing partners that I might tag along with. Happy to share expenses and bring along sandwiches etc.
