Warmer,
Tourney season starts on the big K at the end of Jan. I will probably start prefishing around xmas. I had been having pretty good numbers, in the 2-3 lb range on a gambler cane toad, (lane toad or peppergrass) in 3-4 ft of water, sparse kissimmee grass, in the afternoon. Look for areas that the shade just hit. Also the mouth of canoe creek, in cypress, there is a huge patch of topped out hydrilla. Plow your way into it and run the frog across the top and let is drop into the holes.
