It's tough to fish with shiners in 2 feet of water, which is where most "visible" beds are in Central Florida due to the staining in our lakes. I have caught more large bass in probable bed locations in 4-6 ft of water in small open pockets in the Kissimmee grass, also hard to to shiner fish.
Where I see most shiner fishing is on the outside lines of vegetation. I believe they are catching pre and post spawn fish in these locations.
While I don't like the fact that trophy hunting vacationers usually keep the DD bass, the revenue from non resident licenses accounted for more than 2.8 Billion of the fisheries revenue for 2012/2013 so I will deal with it.
