Lake Newman
County rd 16
Gainsville, Fl.



7,520 acres - fairly shallow up-side-down
bowl wih 11 - 13' deep trench in center.
Stained water - various shallow drops & contours
here & there.
This is a lake that you will either Love or hate.
You can spider rig and/or long-line it.
There are days when you pre-fish it - can go
all day, maybe catch 2 - 5 fish.
Other days its one after another. At times if
makes no sense.
One thing for sure -" if you are spider rigging
and a pole goes down suddenly fast and bends
hard" do not take for granted that its a gar or
bass. I could very easily be a 2 lb plus spec.
I'm here to tell you there are so monsters in
there.

2015 we had 24 entries:

big fish: 1 lb 12.7 oz

7 fish catch wgt: 10 lbs 7.3 oz

This lake if wind dies down, because of trees
all around it - will get hot - bring your sun
screen & umbrella.
