Thread: Who's Pre-fishing the Slabfest?

Beautiful morning...wind not a problem...little cool to start with.....problem was not too many big ones. Caught 13 mostly dinks. Kept 4 (flycaster gave me 1) all 12" and above...one 13.5 weighed 1lb 4oz. Water temp was 59 then got up to 62. They're getting better everyday and should be on FIRE by the slabfest. I think I'm going to skip the weekend and hit em' again Monday.

Are ya'll gonna fry us some gar balls at the slabfest this weekend ?

Nice Gar.

Here is the hint of the day if you plan on fishing some shallow water crappie ---- there should be a lot of em----- think plain minnow or small small chartruesse tipped with a minnow running about. .50

The AB canal giving up a lot of 1/2 to 1lb crappie fished as above with only1 1/2 ft of line in the water. For the folks that are coming to have good time ,catch some fish to take home, and NOT LOOKING FOR SHAMOU the Ab canal should show u good time. The first half coming off of. LAKE BEAUCLAIRE the best at present. With the drought it is shallow 3 to 4 ft with very active fish.The dredge should be out of the way by Saturday.Any questions pm me. Usually the bite is good till around 11 , but when the spawn is on it could last later. The point in Mt Dora should be active as well as the side of Carlton from which the wind blows that morning. Beauclair is off and on and can be good on the trimble park point. Have fun. That's what its all about. See ya there.

Looks like Friday will the prefishing event of the year. Goobers from Jacksonville to St cloud will be on Dora, Beauclair, and Carlton.....might even be some around cg1's back porch. I'll be at the Mt Dora ramp @6:30 in shorts and a tshirt
