Fish were in the pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn phase on Lake Dora. I was fishing cattails, reeds, arrowhead and pads in 0-3ft of water on the main lake. Fish would slide up on main lake banks to spawn along the heavy vegetation. They would find little holes or pockets in the vegetation to spawn in. You couldn't always see the beds so pitching to open areas in the vegetation was key. I caught lots of smaller buck males, but every so often you would run into a bigger female. Having a mix of vegetation in the area was key to getting bites. I used a 1/2oz or 3/4oz texas rig and switched between fluorocarbon and braided lines depending on the thickness of the cover I was fishing.

Bass were shallow in shore vegetation like reeds and pads, caught them flipping a 1/2oz texas rig pit boss. Also found fish off shore in eel grass, just outside spawning areas.
