Solunar tables are a popular heuristic. A peer-reviewed test found they don’t predict catch on their own, so here they only nudge the score when the tide or moon already agree. How the score works

Florida's second-largest lake, a broad shallow basin on the St. Johns River — largemouth bass, black crappie, and catfish, with brackish influence that brings in the occasional surprise.
Public spots within 40 miles, with the same 36 hours of floats.
Yes (anglers age 16 and older). To fish at Lake George you need the appropriate state fishing license. See the agency's current rules: the state agency website
Lake George is listed on this site for 3 commonly-targeted species: Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Channel Catfish. Which species is currently in season and which is scoring highest today is shown in the per-species ranking on this page.
It depends more on the species and the day's conditions than on a fixed "best hour." Water temperature, weather, and — at tidal locations — the stage of the tide drive activity most. The per-species ranking on this page scores every target species at Lake George against today's live conditions, so the fish near the top are your best bets right now; check back as conditions change through the day.
Lake George has multiple access types — pier, shoreline, and at least one public boat ramp.
state agency regulations apply at Lake George. Size limits, creel limits, and seasonal closures are listed per species on each species page. Always confirm against the agency source linked from each regulation block — emergency closures can take effect mid-season.
No. Lake George is non-tidal — water level varies with rainfall, seasonal flow, and (where applicable) upstream dam releases rather than tidal exchange.
