Hello!

 

I live in Illinois and started bass fishing this past April.  Just kinda teaching myself.  I've been told that the bass fishing here is atrocious.  The biggest one I've snagged was MAYBE 2 pounds.  Anyway, I come down to Panama City Beach late March into early April every year.  I have heard that the bass fishing in Florida is waaaaaaaay better.  Was just looking for some guidance.  I was looking at hiring a guide.  The nearest places I've found to PCB are Lake Seminole and Lake Talquin.  Can anyone recommend one of the other or perhaps another place that isn't on my radar that's not too far?   Thanks!

Sunny Hills between PC and Chipley has some ponds/ lakes with good fishing.  You would mostly need at least a small boat or kayak.  Deer point has some good fishing but can be tough if you don’t know the lake.  Good luck.  

Fish the salt!
