Orlando - Freshwater Fishing Report

Blog Posts This Week- Port Canaveral's Giant Jack Crevalle
It has been a long time since all my fishing in a week has been in freshwater, but it happened this week. There you go.
Sunday afternoon I went kayak fly fishing in Lake Pickett. I had always heard it was a good lake. It looked good, except for the jetskiis, water skiers, and various other types of pleasure craft. Sunday afternoon, what did I expect? About a dozen bass to 12 inches fell to a variety of flies. That 12 inch fish was big enough to have broken someone else's line, since I removed a plastic worm hook from its jaw. All in all the lake had too much traffic for my liking.
Monday found me bass fishing on the St. Johns River. It was cool, cloudy, and windy and I got rained on twice. On top of that the fish were not biting. I got one small bass and a fish I think was a warmouth. I was done by noon.
Tuesday son Alex and I took an AHA class in CPR/1st Aid/AED. Now we're certified for another two years. Everyone should be.
Thursday's Mosquito Lagoon trip was cancelled due to weather.
Friday's Mosquito Lagoon trip was cancelled due to weather, so I went to the St. Johns River with Tom VanHorn. He had told me about the schooling bass, and now he was going to show me. Show me he did! We got fifteen or so to about four pounds on plugs and fly, and were off the water ahead of most of the rain by about 930 AM. It's good to be fishing close to home.
Saturday afternoon I went to the Econlockhatchee River hoping to repeat the success I had with bass last week. The river was considerably higher. All I tried were surface flies. Other than sunfish I did not raise a fish.
And that is this week's Orlando Area Freshwater fishing report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!
