Retired military, now living in Northeast Pa and am planning to come down to Fl (florahome, George's Lake ) for Nov,Dec and Jan- maybe feb.    Previously I lived in Pensacola for 12 years and di mostly salt water.  Started back on fresh water when I moved to Pa.  Looking forward to doing some bass fishing on George's Lake and where ever I can find when I am down there,  Seems like this sight is fairly active, which I like.    Fair wind , following seas and tight lines   ed

Welcome! Ed, I have fished Georges lake many times. Out of all the lakes in Florida, how did you pick Georges? It has good fishing , but is fairly obscure. I live around an hour from there.

 I caught many of my bass in there on a red shad culprit worm. The shoreline fishing around grass beds and docks is good. I also fished the canals on the west side of the lake a lot.

Never got into the “offshore “ fishing there because we didnt have a depth finder. There are some deep holes out there that hold some good fish.

You can also fish for specks ( crappie ). Use minnows and drift at various depths until you find a school. Roostertails work for them too.

I love that lake. My dad ALMOST bought a place there when I was a kid.

thks   Mike  will let you know how I do . the plan is to be down there for thanksgiving   ed
