We also have seven of Florida's outstanding water bodies. We are sure you will have an abundance of choices, and a productive and enjoyable time when coming here to fish. What To FishIf freshwater is your preference, then you have your choice of sunshine bass in the Lake Tsala Apopka chain, speckled perch in Lake Rousseau, catfish in the Withlacoochee or the ultimate southern quarry, the Florida Largemouth Bass, just about everywhere. If saltwater is more to your liking, you can seek grouper and snapper at the reefs (Citrus County Reef#1, Laran C coordinate 14356.2/45305.5) and rock piles off the coast, sea trout and Spanish mackerel on the grass beds, cobia and sheepshead at the markers, redfish and whiting off the oyster bars, and record size tarpon working the flats. Where To FishOnce you have decided what you would like to fish for, the next choice is where you want to start. We have numerous boat ramps, fishing piers, bridges, and locations for bank fishing as well as professional guides, party boats, and boat rental businesses to serve you. Choose one of our local captains to take you out and show you where the fish are biting. We also have many bait shops and sporting goods stores where you can purchase live bait and the newest "can't miss" lures. They may even fill you in on the location of the latest hot spots. If you would like to go even further and find that special spot that the locals always seem to know about, try asking them! Citrus County's regulars are usually ready to share a few secrets, although I wouldn't go as far as to ask for directions to that 10 pound bass they caught last week! When To Fish
