Lake Apopka
Closest Town: Lake Apopka
Lake Size: 30,671 Acres
Public Boat Access: Located off
C.R. 437 at Magnolia Park
Lake Notes: Specializing in
Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie, Bluegill and Sunshine Bass. Despite poor
quality fish habitat, speckled perch populations support a decent fishery in the
Gourd Neck Springs area. Sunshine bass have been stocked most years since 1980.
With abundant shad for forage, sunshines average four pounds by their third
year, and fish over six pounds are not uncommon. Saltwater bait shrimp and live
grass shrimp fished near the bottom in the spring boil produce the best results.
Cooler months are best for crappie and sunshine bass.

Johns Lake
Closest Town: Oakland
Lake Size: 2,417 Acres
Public Boat Access: Located off
S.R. 50
Lake Notes: Specializing in
Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Shellcracker and Black Crappie. Irregular
bottom contours and natural water level fluctuations create habitat that
produces an excellent bass fishery. Bluegill, shellcracker and black crappie
also are plentiful. Fishing conditions vary with water level fluctuations. There
is some shallow water offshore, and at times emergent vegetation grows in these
areas to produce islands. These areas act as natural fish attractors and are
good places to fish for bass, and bedding bluegill and shellcracker.

Lake Conway

Lake Size: 1,075 Acres
Public Boat Access: Located off
S.R. 527 & Hofner Ave
Lake Notes: Specializing in
Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie and Bream. Some of the best fishing occurs
in off-shore areas where aquatic plants or dropoffs are found. Largemouth bass
fishing is best from fall through spring. Silver spoons and chrome-colored
rattling lures do best when bass are actively schooling during fall and late
spring. Schooling bass can be found by locating surface activity or by watching
birds feeding in offshore areas on shad and glass minnows pushed to the surface
by feeding bass. During the spawning season, bass often are caught in shallow
vegetated areas.
