Anyone been fishing in winter haven area lately?

Not exactly in Winterhaven but I fished Saddle Creek over the weekend.  It was DEAD    Hopefully things will be better this weekend. 

Yea I think I'm taking the good ole canoe to saddle creek. Got any tips?

YES!! Put the canoe in the back area where no one can get to from the boat ramps.  If you drive in from 92 the area is on the right, towards the back of the park.  Once you're there you'll see that no one with a regular boat can get into that area becuase the water is still too low.  I'd pitch and flip around the cover and look for beds.

You mean near the walking trails? All the way in the back? There's a ramp there?

I'm not sure where that ramp is.  Coming in from 92  you'll go over the tunnel, just past that, there's a very shallow channel on the right.  That channel, I believe is the only way to access the water beyond it.  There's a long finger where people drive their cars out on and fish......Just past that is where the good areas are.   If there's a ramp that allows access to that area, I don't know of it, I'll need to drive around and look.  I haven't seen any bassboats out there though.

so far this season in w.h. ive been to cannon,jesse,deer,buckey, so far deer has been the best on the east side pads and south east hydrilla 50 yards off going to idawild in the morning to fish.

Ok awesome thank you. Yea I haven't fished in winter haven since winter hit cause the canoe would just spin in circles in the wind. Plus the old man wants to catch fish this weekend. So I'll let you guys know what happens

Well went to saddle creek. Did get a bite.

Then went to deer lake. Great looking water. Caught about a 4lb bass.

did your dad catch any? idawild was decent, was that tarp looking thing still floating in the weeds, by the limestone ramp? i hooked into a nice one laying under the shade of that thing last week.

Yea that weird blue thing Is still in the water. I caught about a 4lb just past that

Where is Deer Lake? 

I fished Walk in Water yesterday and got skunked.  The wind was blowing hard and forcing everyone to fish the east side of the lake. Then I got soaked putting the boat on the trailer as the wind was blowing RIGHT on the boat ramp.  I should have gone on the Poker Run with my biker buddies, would have had lot more fun   

Deer lake is off ave G just west of Howard.

Arrrrrrrrrgh!!!!! Those FRIGGIN Winterhaven streets > It's like a **** maze. I need to look on my map

Maybe one day next week we can hook up over at Saddle Creek??  I'm self employed so any day the weather is right, I can go.  It HAS to turn on over there sooner or later.

Well I would take u up on your offer but I don't live here I'm from south Florida. Won't be back for two weeks or if I find a job
