Spent one evening throwing around a 1/32 oz chartreuse beetle spin in a South Florida lake. This was one of my first times fishing here so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I've seen some nice size bluegill and redear sunfish in here so that was my main target. Ended up catching a handful of bluegill and largemouth bass. In addition to that it should go without saying that I also got a Mayan cichlid. These things are so widespread and abundant that it doesn't matter what  I use, where I use it, or what I'm targeting, I always end up getting at least one of those. The real highlight of the day was the beautiful coloration on the bigger bluegills. Love the colors on those things. Tight lines. 

 

 

Great post!  All over Florida seems to have some of good sized (and colorful) panfish I have ever seen.  Up here on the nature coast, we get some real nice ones out of the Hernando pool of Tsala Apopka lake chain.  I usually catch mine on worms.  Gonna try that Beetle Spin next time I go out, though....  Tight Lines!
