Overcast skies today, with air barely moving with the glass slipping lower. On Lake Lucille, work the seam between weed and open water first. A steady middling day from end to end. Change depth before you change anything else. Autumn fish are feeding up and less fussy than in summer.

You will find Lake Lucille in Pinellas County, Florida. Elevation runs to 56 feet. For supplies, Clearwater is 2.2 miles out. Greenbriar lies 2.4 miles off, Dunedin another 2.9 miles. What else is close: Hobart Lake sits 0.4 miles out, 1.2 miles away is Crest Lake, Beckett Lake sits 1.6 miles out, 1.6 miles away is Lake Citrus and Harbor Lake sits 1.7 miles out. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.
Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include flathead grey mullet, pinfish and sheepshead. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. Lake Lucille repays a walk before the first cast.
July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 83°F, while January sits near 60°F. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Lake Lucille fishes to that pattern most years.
Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Barramundi and estuary fish want hard-bodied lures and soft plastics worked around snags and drains. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Hobart Lake is 0.4 miles off. What applies at Lake Lucille may have changed since it was mapped.
