    Garcia

    Does anyone know what the water level is like? Never been there thinking about going.

    Don’t speak to the water level. Was down there last year. Cool place, just watch the cement culverts at the end of the rows.

    water was low last year

    Buddy of mine fished it a couple days ago, water is real low and the vegetation is making it tough to get around. He guides there and told me that he has made his last trip there until we start getting some rain, didn't want to overheat the outboard.

    No, But you can ask them to add it. They are pretty good at requests if it's available. Also checking the lakes near it will usually give you a heads up on the area.

    The problem with Garcia is that the large farm to the north of it draws water from Garcia to irrigate, so I imagine it may be tougher to get the data for it.

    I think this ^^ is true and people are not giving info to keep others away.. I have heard a lot of negative about the water then hear that one or more of the pros and others go there and have a great time.

    I was there Wednesday and both canals from the ramp were open. The lake is dropping due to the unseasonable heat and lack of rain but you can run the boat anywhere right now and not have to worry about hitting bottom. Vegetation is starting to take over the lake. Hydro is starting to grow fast and is topping out. It soon will cause limited areas to run once it gets completely matted out.

    Fishing was so-so. We caught a lot of fish but most were small. We did manage a few over 5 lbs but nothing I would call a giant!

    I have added Garcia/Fellsmere. It will be available tomorrow morning. As of the 24th of March it was at 20.86 with a normal pool at 19.5. The normal pool is what I found online. If it is not accurate, please let me know.
