Thread: Florida spawn

I live in east central Florida. Fish the st. John's River and lakes surroundin' it. When do specks tyically start there spawn here in this area, February right?

As best I can tell. Those I’ve caught recently haven’t been Plump yet and they’re very scattered. We got a while to go yet.

Have you caught any recently real shallow or have they been deep latley?

The ones I have caught the last few weeks have been very plump and the few fat ones that I have kept were plum full of eggs. With that said I have started weighing and snapping a picture then releasing the fat ones. I am further south a little from the St Johns

Specks are in the pads on Harris---spawning???

Depends on the lake, but February a good time to start checking...

I mainly fish st johns river and couple lakes it goes through. Googled it and said it typically is first full moon in February but water temps have to be right but scientists/biologist aren't always right. Mainly mullet lake area, did good there last march through may. Fox lake over here in Titusville has specks just not like the st. John's river though.

A few from Jesup had early sac development caught in open water the other day, I'd bet if water temps are in the mid-to low 60's around the full moon February 9th, I believe....you'll limit out easy, just look for activity against the reeds on the banks at Jesup, worth a try if your launching from Cameron Wright...
