<strong>TA</strong>LLAHASSEE’S<br />
top fishing spots<br />
Surrounded by a multitude of lakes and six rivers and located only 25 miles from the Gulf of<br />
Mexico, Tallahassee is a hot sport for fresh and saltwater fishing. Catch the big one at one of these<br />
regional hot spots and share socially using the #IHeartTally hashtag!<br />
LAKE PINEY Z<br />
An excellent location for fishing, whether from a boat or the bank, Lake Piney Z is a 193-acre lake offering six<br />
fishing “fingers” that allow for lots of space for shoreline fishing. The lake is stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill,<br />
redear sunfish and channel catfish. For anglers interested in fishing by boat, Lake Piney Z offers a hand launch only<br />
with no gasoline motors, so a kayak or canoe would be the best option. Located just minutes east of Downtown,<br />
this is easily one of the most picturesque fishing spots in town. Don’t be surprised to see fathers and grandfathers<br />
teaching the next generation of anglers how to cast, reel and land the big ones.<br />
LAKE JACKSON<br />
Located just north of Tallahassee, Lake Jackson has been nationally known for its largemouth bass fishery. This<br />
lake has a high diversity of aquatic vegetation, including hydrilla, eelgrass, and maiden cane, which are the best<br />
habitats to fish for bass. Although large (4,000 acres), Lake Jackson is shallow, with an average depth of about 7<br />
feet and a maximum depth of 30 feet. A natural sinkhole, Lake Jackson periodically goes dry. There are 5 public boat<br />
ramps around the lake and one fish camp. When water levels are low, the best ramps to use on Lake Jackson are<br />
Jackson View Boat Landing, Sunset Landing and Crowder Road Landing.<br />
LAKE <strong>TA</strong>LQUIN<br />
Located west of Tallahassee, Lake Talquin is a manmade lake that is surrounded by the damming of the Oklockonee<br />
River. The 10,000-acre lake offers outstanding freshwater fishing, including common species such as largemouth<br />
bass, striped bass, speckled perch, bream, and catfish. For anglers who don’t have a boat, a small fishing<br />
dock is in the River Bluff area, just west of the 650-foot boardwalk. The dock provides visitors excellent access to<br />
fishing from land. Lake Talquin is deep, with an average depth of 15 feet and a maximum depth of 40 feet.<br />
SALTWATER FISHING<br />
Located 30 minutes to the south is the fishing village of St. Mark’s at the mouth of Apalachee Bay and the open<br />
waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Fishermen from all over flock to this area for its prized flats fishing. While trout and redfish<br />
are the favorite of many locals, tarpon, mackerel, and jacks are also in abundance in the shallow inshore waters.<br />
For those seeking thrills in deeper waters, grouper, snapper and mahi are waiting for you just a few miles offshore.<br />
SALTWATER GUIDE: ST. MARKS OUTFITTER<br />
Whether by kayak or a custom flats skiff, St. Marks Outfitters offers customized fishing adventures. Whether<br />
you’re a new angler or kayaker who needs a day of instruction or an experienced angler who wants to stalk trophy<br />
fish in shallow water, they can help make it happen.<br />
St Marks Outfitters is in the coastal fishing community of St Marks, Florida, adjacent to the St Marks National Wildlife<br />
Refuge. They offer a unique look at “old Florida,” from coastal marshes to crystal-clear springs and rivers to white-sand<br />
barrier islands. Their experienced crew invites visitors to fish, paddle, relax, and be sure to bring your camera!<br />
WHERE TO FIND THE BIG ONES!<br />
TrophyCatch Florida is the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) freshwater, citizen-science,<br />
angler recognition program. It began in 2012 as a direct response to the FWC’s Black Bass Management Plan, which<br />
placed an emphasis on establishing trophy bass fishing opportunities throughout the state. TrophyCatch was established<br />
to collect data on trophy bass while promoting bass conservation by rewarding catch-and-release fishing.<br />
Search for Leon County to see some of the massive bass that inhabit our lakes. Will your catch be on the list next?<br />

freshwater and saltwater fishing trips down the Aucilla River, Wacissa River, Lake Bradford Chain of Parks, Lake<br />
Jackson, and the nearby coast. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a guide who knows more secret spots than Harry!<br />
