Looking for fishing lake with small boat rental near Jacksonville

Not sure if anyone here is familiar with the fishing scene around Jacksonville, but if you are...I need to find a lake that has a boat rental place nearby or lakeside. I am not looking for a guide, I just want a small boat me and my buddy can fish with for a couple of days. One of those plastic boats with trolling motor would be fine. We fish for largemouth only. We will supply all our own tackle.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Head towards lake Okeechobee you will see places to rent boats all over the place. The lake it self in my opinion is over rated and over fished but the canals usually produce well. You will also have the chance to catch some exotics such as oscars and knife fish. I caught a 6+Lbs oscar in a canal on the south side of the lake I thought I had a grouper. I usually do the best with top water lures running them fast along the saw grass islands.

I have actually done just that. Stayed at Roland Martin,s marina. It is actually his ex wife's, not his. Can't go that far south though. Neead to stay near Mayport/Jacksonville area.

 

I was kinda just hoping to find a pearl in my clam, you know, one of those....I have a friend who's friends dad's cousin owns a cabin and rents it out for a hunered a weekend and it includes beer and a boat. Oh, and her college age daughter may be hanging around tanning on the dock if you don't mind....

 

Yeah I know... More likely to get my CCW in Jersey...

 

Thanks anyway.

I have fished out of the same marina too. I don't know of any places off the top of my head but what I usually try and do is search for some tackle shops in the area before you go down and call them up. they are usually happy to point you in the right direction.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
