eastern lake access and fish report

[Turner]

Hello all,

I am here with the family for week and I want to try kayak fishing in Eastern Lake. I was wondering if there is access from a road and if anyone had some recent fishing reports. I am curious if I can catch reds in there this time of year.

I can help you with access. Several are available. The park off Lakewood on the east side of the lake has limited parking and a small boat ramp if you have your own kayak. Guess if you are renting, you could ask about this as a drop off point. You'd just have to check and confirm. No restroom, etc. Fish House Restaurant is only open for evening for dining and refreshment. Other coffee houses, and food establishments like Flip Flops aren't too far down the road. If you are renting a kayak, I've seen kayaks dropped off on the western side access. People renting at some of the nearby homes, condos, cart their kayaks down via several access points. If you stay on Eastern Lake, you can keep your kayak in the "backyard" and just go out whenever you please. If the winds are from the north, or you are experienced, many go out from Eastern Lake into the Gulf. Local Seagrove fishing store can help you with most up to date fishing report. YellowFin 850-231-9024 or www.YellowfinOceanSports.com. I don't work for them, etc. they've just been helpful and I have their brochure handy.
