Lake Seminole

Florida Home | Florida Sitemap
Lake Seminole is considered one of the best lakes for sports for Florida fishing in the state. Some 80 species of fish have been identified in Lake Seminole. Wide-ranging stump and grass beds provide extensive cover where anglers can hook largemouth, hybrid, striped and white bass. Large populations of catfish, crappie and bream can also be found.

The states of Georgia and Florida manage the fisheries and licenses from both are accepted in the shared portion of the lake. Wildlife Officers and Park Rangers are usually available to explain this reciprocal agreement. Fishing and Hunting regulation booklets can be obtained free of charge at the Resource Management Office and in most area stores.

Bank fishing is great at locations like public fishing decks, along riprap by bridges and at the mouths of creeks flowing into the lake. The fishing deck located below Jim Woodruff Dam offers good downstream fishing opportunities (anglers should always be on the lookout for potentially dangerous discharges from the dams).
