Where to fish

[casey]

Indiana catfisherman here but will be coming down for the winter in nov. was wondering about the catfishing around the Silver Springs area. will try to bring my boat down this year and do some fishing. would like to fish the astor area. it looked pretty good last year. any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

The rivers and lakes in Florida are under fished for catfish. Most everyone that comes down wants Bass, Crappie or to head out in the saltwater. Same structure as up north, deep holes, log or brush piles even under docks if you have 12 feet of water or more. Lots of cats and some bigguns.
