Thread: Florida spawn

As best I can tell. Those I’ve caught recently haven’t been Plump yet and they’re very scattered. We got a while to go yet.

The ones I have caught the last few weeks have been very plump and the few fat ones that I have kept were plum full of eggs. With that said I have started weighing and snapping a picture then releasing the fat ones. I am further south a little from the St Johns

Specks are in the pads on Harris---spawning???

Depends on the lake, but February a good time to start checking...

I'll be heading down in a couple weeks (first time this early) to fish little lake George area as we've only been coming a couple of years and then March-May time frame. I've had good brim and cracker luck mid April so I hope to get a few crappie as well . Good luck and if you see a blue tracker175 tf from Ohio give me a shout ,love the area as it's only 1 1/2 hrs from our daughter and family .

I'm on the Harris Chain, and I think they are trying to spawn cause of the warmer weather, but the last two days it's been cooler, so they prolly moved back out. If it warms up again, they will prolly come back in. The few that I have cleaned have had eggs, but not as developed as I think they need to be to spawn. All I can say, they are certainly thinking about it, and if the weather warms, they will be ready real soon. IMHO

Have you caught any recently real shallow or have they been deep latley?

I've caught them relatively shallow. 5 ft, and even three ft off my sea wall, but only a couple off the sea wall. So they are trying, and checking in on the shallows.
