Hi. So I was wondering if anyone in the Northeast area of Florida fishes Kingsley Lake near starke. And if you do I was wondering if you know whether or not you know if there are crawfish in there. Thanks! -Garrett 

never seen any crayfish but doesn,t mean there aren,t any. deep clear spring fed lake with sand bottom with some patches of stringy grass forget the name of it.If your asking if jigs work well, yes they do. Best technique is a drop shot on drops and brushpiles.visit us at floridabassnetwork lots of good info on kingsley.

Thanks! Where would be the best place to use jigs on Kingsley?

Well I gotta figure that the biggest bass are probably hanging close to the ledges down in the deepest two holes in Kingsley lake, with one being around 80 feet deep and the other one around 50 feet deep. Looking at the bathymetric map of the lake I'd be jigging or drop-shotting straight down on top of them over the steepest drop off's around those holes if I were wanting to target some of the biggest bass in the lake. And they should be on the beds soon so that would be another way to target some of the biggest bass in the lake.

 

A nice website with info about the lake: http://www.kingsleylake.org/facts/history.html

 

I am sure you could do well around the edges of the lake for smaller bass too. Here are a couple of maps of the lake:

Okay thanks man!!

while im not that good on kingsley, I have over the yrs. fished with some guys who are. And while Im not that adept at jig fishing,it make sense to fish a jig.I will say the guys who I fish with almost always use a drop shot.Especialt in the deeper areas. 25-40'Right now there are some really big fish on bed in 8-13'. there was a 14/4 caught week before last.
