Lakes near Crestview

Hi Andy is OptiMystic: Welcome. This is a small group here in the panhandle who love to fish for bluegills and other bream types. We don't have a lot of activity going but from time to time someone will offer a comment. If we can be of any help just post a note and we will do our best to lend a hand.
There are several good lakes and rivers not far from Crestview. I fished Hurricane Lake this morning which is out in Santa Rosa County about 15 miles or so from Crestview.
