Set in Florida, United States, Lake Shipp is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Bluegill

  Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.

• For Black crappie

  Vary your retrieve speed until you find what the crappie are responding to; sometimes slow and steady is best, other times a twitching action triggers strikes.
