Default Spawning is NOW for central Florida..

Here's what our newspaper reported this morning..


1 - Around Lakeland, a tournament out of Lake Parker on Sunday produced an eye-opening weight of more than 27 pounds for Jimmy Todd and Tom Saxon. Their top fish was 8 pounds. Brent Howlett at Stone's Outhouse said "hourglass'' and rock piles in Lake Crago yielding best fish on Parker with crankbaits and plastic worms. Bass to 24 inches at Tenoroc in lakes 3, 4 and 5 on shiners, reports Brian Fleming. Bass 3-4 pounds on medium shiners at Saddle Creek Park, reports Lee Phillips at Phillips Bait and Tackle. Limits of specks at Tenoroc in lakes 3, 5 and C on minnows. At Saddle Creek, specks to 1 1/2 pounds, with 10-15 per trip on minnows and Hal Flys (blue and yellow). Half-limits of specks at Parker and Gibson. Few sunshine bass off pier at power plant on Parker. Also, Teneroc is yielding bass up to 9 - 10 pound bass at Lakes 2 and 3.Jim Margist boated a 9 1/2 at Saddle Creek this past week before the front flipping watermelon seed Gambler worms.

Awesome report. Up here, people catch big fish and do not tell anyone. It is almost like sinning. You tell one person, the whole town knows, the your honey hole is everyones. We don't have the large lakes you guys do though.

Note the large lake..this is where our power plant is .It's Lake Parker..follow the canal at the extreme north end of Parker...it turnsto the right ..That is Lake Crago..Note the top left...See my favorite HAWG lakes..one is shaped like a fish hook..and one like a set of legs..LOL they are management catch and release lakes..Lake Fish Hook and Leggs Lake THEY ARE HOT!! The extremecenter and right are the rest of Tenoroc Mine's lakes.Decent fishing..

Except for Parker...a jon boat is all ya need..

hey chuck, many moons ago i was at Lonnie Stanley's shop in Huntington TX. (Stanley jigs fame) and he told me and my team tournament fishing partner that as soon as the moon was full in Feb. head shallow, the fish will be trying to do their thing, i have caught more big fish in Jan/Feb. and his advice has always proven to be beneficial.

now go get'em we will be fishing the "HNI tournament" but with the kinda fish in your area, i know I'll be fishing for 2nd place...

BTW, me and the misses have been talking (alot) about a Mexico trip next year, if we do be forewarnedyou and josh both
