try Missle baits

If there is not some sort of system to prevent a tragedy like this from happening then maybe WE should be the one's to rally together and get something implemented at all dams so that there is not a needless loss of lives!

Now thats what I'd call a great testament on this real!

excellent thanks for sharing!

2 tips that I've found look for the older ponds that have been around for several years and look for areas of the pond for any source of oxygen. spring fed, drainage, etc.

Henry come on down, Nitty gives you some excellent advise, The spawning period in Florida is longer down here. I've been seeing some beds already in some of the ponds I like to fish but it's far from really kicking in the spawn can continue into march. I believe you can sight fish during spawn without disturbing the spawn,however do be very gentle with the fish. You will find the male guarding the bed, but the bigger female in most cases is close by and I find it a challenge to watch while you make em mad enough to attack your bait. handle your catch with care let em go where caught and he or she will find they're bed in minutes, however maybe let the male go a little farther from the bed so the female will move in to guard the bed and you just might catch them both. look for clear water so you can see and a good pair of polarized sun classes to improve your view. Use a weightless senko Texas rig or wacky and have fun, but do everything to take care of the female. good luck & God Bless!
