Freshwater fishing in Florida can yield an abundance of catfish, crappie, largemouth bass and striper bass. Fishing in one of the top five freshwater fishing destinations gives you the best chance for a successful outing.
Lake George is one of the best lakes in Florida for Largemouth Bass fishing, and is located 29 miles East of Ocala. Lake George is the second largest lake in Florida. Lake Toho, next to Kissimmee in central Florida is a great place to catch trophy bass.
Striper Bass can be caught in abundance at the Apalachicola River/Lake Seminole area. Annual stocking makes this an outstanding destination. Lake Talquin, west of Tallahassee is the place to go for 10 to 20 pound Striper Bass, even up to 30 pounds is possible here.
For Catfish, one of the best places is Apalachicola River. Big channel catfish are found abundantly here, especially in the Spring and Summer. The best place to find them is near the Dam.
To find great fishing for Black Crappie, especially in the cooler months, try Lake Monroe. Located near Sanford, halfway between Orlando and Daytona Beach. This lake is almost 10,000 acres, and part of the St. John’s River chain.
