South Florida Spawn

Well, I guess it's officially here in Broward for me.  Basically finished up on my boat right in time for the spawn to hit my lake.  Got out for about two hours total and picked up a good 15 fish.  Picked up a few large females that were just dripping with eggs.  Saw several fish sitting on beds, and several fresh empty beds.  Had good success today on my new finesse combo with a shaky head dropping into the beds.  Around sundown I absolutely slayed some larger fish on a watermelon swimmin senko worked deep on some drop offs leading into deep grass.

Warm weather finally stabilized and the fish are happy again.  Hope the rest of you guys are starting to have some fun down here.  Gotta love Springtime in southern FLA.

Starting to get into some post spawn activity here.Schooling fish,a little topwater,and very aggressive strikes. Only thing making it a little tough is this blasted high pressure system that is holding on like the plague.We all know how much Florida bass love bluebird skies. ::) If you fish a spot where you can hit mats in shallow water while it's sunny though it seems pretty good.

Tell me about it, went to my secret spot yesterday with my bud, where we can consistently catch 30-40 bass in about 2 hours  and only caught 15 total, but we hooked some big'uns (2) 5-6lb and guess what.... they were SCHOOLING! Spawn is pretty much over, in most areas I fish I'm seeing plenty of used beds.

seeing used beds at my home lake also.

what will you guys be focusing on in the coming weeks/month?

Went out again for an hour later on in the day.  Saw several Peacock beds as well in a different part of the lake.  Some were loners, most of them had a male and a female on the bed.  Others were just a male and a female that were roaming around.  Caught a few that were between 16" and 20" on the old elbow measurement.  Several 2 to 3 pound LM on beds and in schools also.  Along with a bunch of fish just cruising around on the drop offs.  Like South FLA said, lots of empty beds as well.  Looks like this lake is in all three stages of the spawn right now.  Been some great fishing for the last few days.

this high pressure has been killing me too.  hopefully i'll get a chance to go friday before that front moves in.  as a navy recruiter there's not much time to do anything.   >:(
