Fish have begun Spawning on the outside edge of major grass flats on the base of Lilipad stems. They have been staging on the outside edge of spawning flats do to falling water, always keep your eye on the water level to help you decide where the fish might be positioned! Staying a good distance back from the visual cover and fan casting a light weighted Tokyo Rig with a Zoom Zlinky, and dead sticking the bait was the key!

Took my grandson out today from Southport. Tournament was going out in front of us so we went through the lock into the canal that leads to Lake Cypress. Caught 2 small ones on the way down and this one one the way back, 3.17lbs. All Caught on Yum Swim n Dinger, 5 inch Black with Blue flake along the rip rap close to the bank. They seemed to be getting ready to spawn as their tails were a little bit rough and showing signs of bleeding.

We had a massive cold front blast Florida. Temps below freezing at night led to fish being hunkered down in heavy cover. Caught most of my fish offshore in hydrilla on a chatterbait. Also caught some punching thick mats. Best bites came in 6-8 feet of water on edges of hydrilla on a chatterbait.

Only got one today as there was a tournament going on and 2 boats in the area where I wanted to fish. I let them have it and went exploring. Caught it right up against a dock and threw back in there and missed another, may have been on a bed as spawing has started.

Speed Worm and Traps on shallow spawning habitat is a staple on this fishery. Varying retrieves to find preferred action by day can be critical.
