Hi guys, I just got into fishing about a year ago and now I'm hooked. I almost bought a boat in December but my workplace caught fire and burned down so that dream has been put on hold for at least 8 months (thats about the time it will take to rebuild). I still fish from the bank at least twice a week and rent kayaks and canoes on the Santa Fe River when I get the chance. I've been chasing bass but I seem to catch more mudfish (bowfin) than anything else.

    Thanks guys, Big Mike: My PB Bass was a 3lb. Suwanee Bass in the Santa Fe River (High Springs) on a Yum Dinger.

    Thats great ! I caught one there that was 2 or so.Felt like a 4 pounder in that current.I love Sante fe LAKE too.Orange/ lochloosa,little orange,wauberg, hampton,Alto,Newnans,all are good .But Sante fe is my favorite!

    Hey ElCamino! I live in this area too, down in Citra, work in Gainesville. When I get my pontoon boat up and going, maybe we can head out on Orange Lake.

    Thanks PF. Where are you in Polk County? My father is a Bartow OG, and I lived there after pops retired from the Navy and moved back home when I was in high school.

    Hey cport, we moved to Winter Haven after my dad retired from the Army, he works for the state now in Bartow, FL Dept of Agriculture. I ended up back here after school as well. With the Winter Haven Chain, the Kissimmee Chain, and the Harris Chain all so close; there may have been a reason I came back!
