    Question Lake Henderson

    I am not looking for spots. I am however trying to improve my offshore game to witch I have none right now. I was able to catch a few fish offshore in little henderson this morning. Are there brush piles or anything besides the attractors the scaning i did showed mostly barren bottom?

    I tried Henderson a couple weeks ago and only managed 2 small bass. These lakes look so fishy. I do well in the winter but just cant figure them out in the summer.

    Next time You head out to Little Lake Henderson and can get there in the early a.m... Head to the path and small trestle (leads into the lake beside LLH) From the bridge onward You can limit out in minutes, then it just turns off.. A Salty I took out there used a ZMan Swimmerz in 'New Penny' and was catching them one after another..

    For me the offshore fish in Little Hendo always travel in packs! This time of year they huddle together pretty well. I don’t know those waters nearly like a Lew but Little Hendo is a great place to catch some good fish! The creek opening on the north side of the lake has some offshore grass that usually produces for me with a chatterbait & small crank.

    The west side side of the lake has out produced the east side for me 10-1!

    If You put in at 44.. as soon as You go under the bridge. Hit Joe's dock (Joe owns ApopkaMarine™) a jig to the pilings is always fun. Then get Your worm rod and cast to those Cypress trees; see those cabins? those are left over from a 1970's Fish Camp and You can catch Crappie all along that bank. Now when You get to that dock; beware- some times, whomever ties a cage tied to something? I had the dogs with me or else I would've investigated. Just on the other side of that dock it is LOADED and You'll find grass. (Straight Producto™ Tournament Worm works great there, something to slide through the pencil reeds

    Do You take 44 from Ocala? If "Yes" You ever see the water on driver's left when entering Inverness? That is "East Lake" which is accessible through Lake Spivey; past Lake Davis <--- This lake gets just about ZERO fishing pressure and the water is HIGH enough to get over near the 8th green/9th tee of Inverness Golf Club (Pan OUT when looking at maps- There was a map in a thread from before..)

    If You go along the regular canal, along the houses, that very first house they "cast and leave" so heed His 'Slow Down' signs. If You go the airboat route or the Lake Davis route, there is good-great Frog fishing in there, both hollow bodied and buzzing frog e.g. Damiki™ Air Frog

    This is the Producto™ I typed about: (See review)

    https://www.productolure.com/index.p...product_id=294

    And if the place has Producto™ see if they have these:

    https://www.productolure.com/index.p...product_id=287

    But if You MUST/HAVE TO/I NEED THIS get these and fish them weightless; the Hayabusa™ coated hook gets them shimmying just right, also work pretty good in the pads and then just ded stick it
