hate the spraying !! good job on what you did catch.
Went out on the north end and jigged fished the kings bar area. Caught 21 and 18 were keepers. Most were in a pink head and green body jig. Mainly fishing under hyacinth.
Went back the following Monday (1/24) after the big cold front and only caught about 10 fish total with 2 people. 5 keepers. Very frustrating considering I had a good day a few days before. Also they were spraying the area and the hyacinths look to be dying already.
Tried fishing some Kissimmee grass and bulrush/reeds, but no luck.
guess I need to find new areas away from the spraying.
anyone target reeds or bulrush more than hyacinth?
Will report back when I go next!
still learning the fishery. I think I’m hooked!

another good day at the office !
We were there on 1/19 fished the reeds and what grass we could find, we used jigs (cocaine) and Andy's grass shrimp. We also used minnows fished for 4 hours had 46. We caught a bunch reof catfish too and gar. We fished the outer side of kings bar area. With them killing all the habitat it is going to put a hurt on the fishing.
hdhntr thanked you for this post
Man he’s fishing way up on the willows. I’ve also seen a video where he fishes the maiden cane
hdhntr LIKED above post
way bluegabe fishes is how I do in brush in MO but I do it wading. pull tip up to end of long rod and find a small opening and let a few inches of line down with small jig and Kaboom!
I'm addicted to watching his and Deermeatfordinners channel along with Kelly's. Gives you something to do on a winters day. Think I am an arrington now.
The small lake i fish most has lots of grass everywhere around the shoreline. And it has become a problem due to very large sections of it breaking off and floating around, and even blocking the area you launch. About a month of so back i came back to the launch and the whole area was chocked off.
About 2 weeks ago they sprayed very heavily every where, and now every thing is brown.
Im wondering how that might affect the spawn, which usually starts about now.
