    I only fish for specks if I am fishing. I have caught specks every month for the past 2 years. If you see me fishing it is always the smae way. LONG lining bettle spins usually tiped with minnows or shrimp or sometimes gulp products ie shrimp or the gulp fry work well. I will short line a few poles close to the boat also and a few with bullet weights ahead of my swivels this gets them down closer to the boat. I did catch 1 in the pads last year. B

    Once the males are off the beds and the water temp is in the high 70 or 80's, I'm done. The heat and the fact that the fish are stressed from the spawn just isn't fun for me. I would really like to fish in the fall but between football (I officate HS football) and the fact that my wife has become a deer hunting fanatic, I don't have time. Also, after being in Iraq for 14 months, I got a "HOney-Do" list until I start drawing Social Security---which no dodut will be gone by the time I reach that age!

    After the spawn, I can't find one ! ! ! !
    AND, I ain't sittin out there all day just to "maybe" catch one ! !
    Also, I live about ten blocks from the Indian River, = use your imagination .......
    Plus, I own a flats boat that runs in 5" of water ! ! !
    (It'll run dry for a few yards, WFO)

    Spider rigging I can go in towards the vegetation go out towards deep structure all i do is change depths and maybe put a dual minnow rig on. other than that the wind determines where i will be.

    I fish for everythin whatever I feel thats what it is. As long as I can get on the water if I am catching a boat full of cats I am happy.
