Lake Weir

Lake Weir is also a good choice to catch big Panfish. The fish are typically in the maiden cane or on the edge of it. Fishing with a worm on bottom near the edge of the vegetation is a good way to start. If this fails, try moving into the weeds and fishing with grass shrimp. FWC biologists have found huge numbers of big Red-Eared Sunfish and Bluegill in the vegetation along the lake edge. In the hot summer months, many anglers prefer to fish at night. Try fishing over the attractors for Black Crappie, also known as “Specks”. There are a lot of Largemouth Bass and Chain Pickerel also being caught. There are currently two fish attractors on Big Lake Weir, and two attractors on Little Lake Weir. The attractors on the main lake are unmarked, but the GPS coordinates for these can be found at the MYFWC website. These coordinates will be in decimal degree format on your GPS. The attractors on the little lake are marked with yellow buoys. The water at Lake Weir is low right now, so anglers should use caution navigating the lake close to shore.
