Fishing Information
Lake Como, Lake Broward, Lake George, Lake Crescent, and the St.
Johns River make up an area that is known as the "Bass
Capital of the World." The fisherman has his choice of
miles and miles of shoreline, acres of grass beds,
schooling bars, and coves. Wynn Davis, who was for years
the fishing editor of “Outdoor Life” magazine,
repeatedly called the area “the best bass water in the
United States.”
