Rexford Lake Fishing near Citrus Ridge, Florida

• Overview

  Rexford Lake falls in Orange County, part of Florida. The bank is 112 feet above sea level. With some 48 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Citrus Ridge lies 1.3 miles from the water. Then Four Corners, 1.4 miles, and Horizon West, 5.7 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Rexford Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, largemouth bass and redear sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Take Rexford Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 82°F; the cold one sits at 60°F. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Time your trip to Rexford Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Osage Lake at 0.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Rexford Lake are worth checking on the day.
