How good is the Winter Park/Maitland Chain of lakes? I'm literally 5 minutes away from the WP chain but it's so big, I don't know where to start. I'm going to have to go get permitted, but it's gotta be worth it for me to do that. I also only have a 50lb thrust troller motor so I can't go very far. I've fished off the bank once at a park off of Alabama St. in Winter Park and caught a couple nice ones but besides that I haven't done much there. The chain seems very plentiful though... a lot of lake but the people who live on it don't fish it.
Thanks for the info skeetbum. Those lakes you mentioned are all on my radar. Some of the best fishing in the world is right here in Central Florida. If any of you guys are on instagram be sure to give me a follow (somewhere_fishing). Trying to gain some fishing buddies in the area. Thanks and keep killing them out there!
