Pristine waterways offer everything from elegant dinner cruises to undiscovered fishing holes.

Fishing in Seminole County

It’s a water wonderland here on the other side of Orlando, with more than 2,000 crystal lakes and rivers in the county, including the scenic St. Johns River, Florida's longest at 342 miles. From thrilling airboat rides to relaxing dinner cruises, you’ll find many ways to enjoy the water. You can even learn to sail and rent sailboats at the Fun Maritime Academy in Sanford. And if you’re an angler, Seminole County’s unspoiled wetlands offer fishing the way you’ve always dreamed it could be. Local waters teem with crappie, bream, bass and more. Puzzle Lake offers one of Florida’s best large mouth bass locations. The St. Johns River gives way to Lake Harney, the top choice for shad seekers, then bleeds north into the dense paradise of picturesque Deep Creek. Look for crappie tournaments on Lake Monroe, and plan to find your fill of panfish and more. Whether fishing from land or aboard one of the areas many fishing charters, you’ll get hooked.
