Alright guys its time i will be coming down that way in a few days and will be staying in lakeland by looking at the weather forcast it has been in the 80s down there and when i get down there its going to be in the 60s next week so whats working?? i will be mostly fishing some subdivision ponds with one being very deep and clear..What techniques should i be using and baits also?? Are there any fish Spawning at the moment??

thanks for all your help.

There have been shad hatches in the smaller ponds this week.  Crankbaits and rattle traps or even flukes should produce some fish.

any spawners??

Not yet, but they are not far away.

Due to the mild winters in Florida, opinions vary widely with regard to bedding season.

Personally, I never give spawning bass any thought at all until after New Years Day (central FL).

Currently, our most productive lures have been a very strange mix (in descending order):

> Gambler Ace

> Strike King Space Monkey (and Rage Lobster)

> Zoom Magnum Fluke (6")

> Spro Aruku Shad
