4790 NW 46th Rd, Lake Panasoffkee, FL 33538
Tip: Best fishing is early morning or late afternoon. Several fish camps rent boats — Pana Vista Lodge is a local favorite. The lake is shallow (average 4-6 feet), so a flat-bottom boat works best. Bring polarized sunglasses to spot fish.
About
A shallow, spring-fed lake covering nearly 4,500 acres, Lake Panasoffkee is one of Central Florida's best-kept fishing secrets. Known for outstanding largemouth bass and panfish, the lake connects to the Withlacoochee River and Outlet River. Several fish camps along the shore offer boat rentals and local knowledge. The surrounding wetlands attract wading birds, osprey, and bald eagles.
