Anchorman has been doing that for a few years. He would be who I would talk with.
I am retiring in one year and am looking to spend January-March crappie fishing. I’m looking for recommendations on what lake would be a good fit with good fishing and a good area to buy/rent. Thanks for any info you can give me. Thanks!

Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
How isolated do you want to be?
If regular trips to a decent size town for dining, shopping etc, are important, then thats what you will be zeroing in on, and the fishing will become a secondary issue.
Lake Kissimmee for example is the second largest lake in the state, with numerous others not very far away.

We currently live in a town of 2000 so used to small town living. I would like to be 20 minutes or closer to the lake. The other thing that we like to do is pickleball.
Look up Welaka Florida along the Saint Johns River,small town great restaurants and two different condo complex’s. Riverbend condominiums is where we own and have some rentals as well. Great area and people , an hour away from many lakes as I’m learning.

May all the fish tales you catch be longer than the ones you tell !Northforker, SpeckledSlab LIKED above post
Welaka is a sleepy little friendly village, we stayed there last winter. The crappie are there, but they are on the move with the tides every day.

From a town of 2000, well that leaves my city out of the running. 90,000+ and still counting.
another good day at the office !
My best buddy moved to Fruitland Park (close to the villages)a little over a year ago and is minutes away from lake Harris and Griffin. He fishes both lakes with limited success. We are from central Illinois and fish a lot of structures here. Doesn’t seem to be near the structure we are used to there, so it’s taking him a minute to figure out how to catch crappie on those lakes. I’m not a fan of fishing the coast. I appreciate all of the feedback from everyone!
