Me and the wife have an Air BnB this Saturday with a pontoon boat in Astor. Never fished there before but am considering bringing my pole. Is the fishing worth it?

Definitely going to one of the springs on Sunday. Been to Silver Glen and Alexandra before. Might check out Juniper Springs this trip never been there before.

Visited all three of those springs when I went to camp in Ocala back in the early 60's. Camped on Lake George as well. Some mighty big bass there back then.

Juniper is a puddle with extensive picnic facilities. If you've snorkeled Silver Glen you've seen the stripers. If you swim under the rope line there's a deep well full of them circling... kind of like being inside a dark hour glass full of fish. Pretty cool. Also you should check out salt spring at the north end. Again, blue crabs...

When we at Alexandra springs earlier this year you had to make a reservation for summertime just to get in the springs of Ocala. Crazy it's gotten to that.

This post was started back in March, but if you're there this time of year there is generally a bunch of stripers caught at the croaker hole in Little lake George. Chuming and fishing with grass shrimp is generally the best way to catch them.

Chuming and fishing with grass shrimp is generally the best way to catch them. We are going back in a couple weekends. Don't think we'll make up that far north considering we will be staying in Astor. Any place to fish for them on the south side of Lake George?

My mate will be up there that week, staying in Astor as well. I thought about joining his family and dragging the airboat up to ride but I have too much other stuff going on.
The springs are cool to hang in.

The mouth of Juniper Run,the mouth of Salt Run and the mouth of Silver Glenn during the week. Probably small Wild Shiners would be your best bet.

Thanks I've caught them in North Georgia before but never in Florida. We are going out on the lake Monday. Gonna try Juniper Run.
