Fishing Lake Georgette in Orange County, Florida

• Overview

  Lake Georgette is one of the Orange County listings for Florida. The bank is 105 feet above sea level. It covers about 6 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Orange County list holds plenty of bigger water. The closest town, Azalea Park, is 1.9 miles away. Orlando sits 3.1 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Georgette

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish and Florida gar. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. At Lake Georgette the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 82°F and January at 60°F. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. On Lake Georgette the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lake Gear at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Lake Georgette.
