I have been working in Philly for the past year, but this weekend I'm headed home back to Florida. So I'm wondering how bad are the lakes; Winter Haven, Clermont, Orlando, how about the St. Johns River? Please let me know the status if anyone knows.

Some of the Clermont chain lakes are starting to get low, in fact I put in on Minneola recently and got beached. Just depends on the lake, Butler chain is good and the rivers (St Johns and Suwannee are good too). I'd ask around and make sure.

Im right around the corner from Grasman....about 20 mins away from Winter Haven, and its terrible here. But we are getting rain now, but for the past month there hasnt been much. I know that JD and Andrew cant get their boats in and out of Ariana due to the water level and the condition of the boat ramp, but most lakes around here are getting low really fast.

I was in St. Cloud and Orlando area a month ago, Everything seemed to be around 10 feet but the lakes looked down a little judging from shoreline. And certain spots I have went past before seemed more shallow. I hit bottom once in a canal and my boat wasn't even weighted so be careful!

My lake is getting low enough that I almost can't get my boat out of the boathouse. But I've seen it lower once in the past. Fortunately it has just started raining in the last 2 days.
