Hey bro idk how bad you want one or are willing to travel but I went all the way to melboure to lake washington b/c I heard it was a hot spot but I fished off the dock and didn't get anything but if you have a boat maybe u'll have better luck but heres a couple of lakes that are a lil closer Lake Arbuckle, Lake Marion, Lake Kissimmee, Lake Sheen, St. Johns River,Lake Jesup... Good luck and if you ever feel like you wanna travel you can go to the www.bowfinanglers.com website thats what I did and just made it a road trip lolllllll and if you ever wanna come this way I would love another fishin buddy lol again good luck hope this helps...
