About Lake May
Lake May, in Florida, United States, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Lake May usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

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 Coppernose bluegill
Use light line and small hooks for better presentation and fewer spooked fish; Coppernose bluegill have keen eyesight.
- For Bluegill
Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.
