Fished Kissimmee last 6 days. Fishing was good Thur-Sat, but cold front absolutely shut them down. We had pretty good success in Jack's Slough and Lone Palm, with one fish over 8 and one just under 6, but most fish in the 2-3 lb range. Tried some on Bird and around Bramha, but had very little action. We caught the big fish in 3 ft and lost one well over 10+ at the same depth. She hit a shiner half a dozen times just trying to kill it, until I ticked her off enough to finally eat. She was sitting on bed and would kill anything that came near. Awesome action as she would run the shiner to the top and bust it everytime. Too bad when I got a hook in her she jumped off near the boat :'(. We caught fish in all depths, but seemed that the bigger fish were starting to move in to bed. Good luck to all and hopefully I can make it back down later this spring.

I am coming down later this week. Will be fishing Kissimmee and Walk-in-Water. Any suggestions on depth/patterns. Mostly shiners, but also some artificials to find the fish. This will be my first trip of the year, and would appreciate any advise on where to get started.
