I'm heading to fla and nc at the end of jan. to visit relatives and do the annual bass tornament with my big mouth brother. We're fishing some small lakes in west palm drainage and then the stick marsh in fellsmere and lake kissimmee. We have personal bets on weight, most fish, biggest, ect., in which it could get kind of costly.
Is this too early for the large mouth spawn? I guess I better start doing my homeworK.

I've caught them spawning as early as Jan.1st....but lately..full moon in Feb. has been the start.

Florida's big bass lake now is Lake Toho...not far from where you are going..It's just north of Kissemmee. Stick March and Farm 13 have gotten a little tough I understand from the pressure.

Chuck, we fished both east and west Toho last year and west Toho was great, the east lake sucked or maybe being the first time on the lake we didn't know where the fish were? Lake Kissimmee was good too but my favorite is the stick marsh. After fishing there for about 5 years we know where to go now. I don't know how the stick marsh is under a lot of fishing pressure since its a catch and release flooded citrus grove?

Yes sir..the west TOho is where to go..I need to hook up with someone with a seriuos boat and check it out..If your in the Lake Wales area I'd love to treat you to lunch..that is not far from the Kisseissmmee boat ramp..Camp mack
