I know this gorgeous lake very well for bass fishing. The most productive areas are the entire west bank north of the boat ramps. Concentrate more on fishing the grass, especially grass in deeper water, or right next to deep water. Any cypress trees or stumps mixed in with grass in or next to deeper water is usually a bonus. This can be a fun lake for topwater action in the spring, and this lake is by far the most beautiful during the first 2 weeks of April, when all the flowers are in bloom, and the leaves on the cypress trees are at their peak of what I like to call "fluorescence". This is when all of the cypress trees take on the most beautiful "electric green" color. The population of nesting ospreys is also at it's peak during this time. Various soft plastics & grass jigs can produce well in the grass, and if ya want to fish a buzz bait on the surface, go with the smaller buzz baits. They seem to attract the quality sized bass better than larger buzz baits here. A weightless Texas rigged worm fished at or near the surface in an erratic non-stop jerk bait fashion also works well. Back around 2001 or so, FWC biologists conducted a fish shocking survey here, and they were astounded at the number of bass they shocked up weighing over 5 lbs, with many larger, and the biggest was a 13+ lb'er. There was a 2 full page article in the sports section of the Florida Today newspaper about this fish shocking survey. For some reason, this lake was "on fire" back then. This is the cleanest water of any lake in the entire state. It also has a natural & slightly elevated salinity level that keeps hydrilla from growing, and also enables MANGROVE trees to grow in the water here! Because of NO hydrilla and all native plants, this lake best represents what all of the natural Florida lakes USED TO look like long ago, before hydrilla took over. Because Blue Cypress has a natural bass population that is much smaller than the nearby impoundments like the Stick Marsh/Farm 13, and the new Fellsmere reservoir, the bass fishing can be quite tough often times. Blue Cypress got it's name from how the trunks of the bigger cypress trees take on a ghostly blue appearance right before official sunrise. I hope you & anyone else interested finds the above information helpful.
Blue cypress is a hard lake to fish these days. However they are there. Bowfin and Gar is what I mostly catch there now a days. No real size to the Gar but largest bowfin was close to 9lbs. Garcia down the road is good. But now Headwaters is open and fishing had been A+.
Not sure why it took so long to find your channel. I’ve searched fort pierce fishing more than a few times trying to learn more about my new fishing life PR, PSL and Stuart. Hope you haven’t given up completely. If you ever need to fill a seat and share some expenses I’m landbased until I find the boat I want.
Fish the deepest part of the canal, especially the intersection of the main canal and zig-zag canal. West side of levee is the best--black Zoom trick worms and green pumpkin trick worms work very good there. Top water baits back in the trees are good too.
Your second drive is Illegal. You'd have to pick up the foot that is off of the tee before you threw. Not trying to be a dick. Just a heads up incase you play a tournament. I think it was a recent change in rules.
