Hunting and Fishing

Fishing is excellent on the Suwannee River.  We have Large Mouth Bass, Suwannee Bass, Mullet, Bream (Blue Gill, Sun Fish) and Channel Catfish.  We have large Sturgeon (200 lbs.) but you can't keep them. 

Our boat ramp was constructed in the mid 1800's and used as a ferry stop.  It is not the easiest for boaters to use because of the turn at the bottom.  This is how the ferry’s got out of the current of the river so they could load and unload.  Down river from the Rendezvous by Troy Springs there is a wreck of a boat used on the Suwannee when river traffic was used more than horse and carts.

These young men had a great day on the river!

Wild Hogs are always open season in Lafayette county.

Hunting season for wild hogs is year round and we have had a number of hunters at the Rendezvous.  They are having good luck in the Mallory Swamp WLR.  No pictures yet but hunters on the weekend of 2/6 got 2 wild hogs and the weekend before another group got 4.   They told us that the hogs are very plentiful this year.

This 8 lb catfish was caught right off the bank at the Rendezvous. Grandpa Frank took the picture and he knows how to make it look big!!

Got to be the smallest catfish ever but this young man was proud of it.

Frances caught this fish and she said it was delicious.

This large mouth bass was caught right off the shore by the spring cut.
