    Default Summer patterns


    Hello all, another Fl boy checking in.
    I mostly fish the St Johns (volusia co) I have mostly speck fished in the fall/winter months drifting minnows. What type of structure should I be looking for during the summer heat. Not looking for anybody's spot, just trying to figure out what I should be looking for to find the fish this time of year.

    Crappie (spec's) ea
    t year round.................they are supposedly easier to catch
    between Nov & Febr in Florida area.
    Most lakes in Fl are shallow - up side down bowls. very, little structure, mostly
    grass- hydrillia - and contour lines...........which it a known fact Fl crappie will
    lie in ambush mode in 4" contour.

    Depending on area you are targeting - lakes - rivers - etc - we may be able to help
    your catch rate improve

    Blowdowns that fell into the water, roots hanging from undercut banks, hyacinths backed up against a tree just to name a few.
    Wear your PFD!!!!!

    Well, not having a trolling motor or depth finder yet had made it a little tougher than it should be, but after several trips trying to find them I bailed on the river and fished a local lake that I know is full of them. I went straight into the fall fishing methods and caught 11 fish before they shut down, no monsters but were all between 11"-14". I will be getting with "shut up and fish" soon to correct not having a troller and should be able to stay on top of the schools.
