Super User South FLA Posted July 7, 2009 Super User Posted July 7, 2009 Moore haven canal toward the Monkey Box, cover as much area as you can with swimming frogs, water level is up to 12.5 so you should be OK. Flip the heavy cover where you start catching. ;D Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 7, 2009 Super User Posted July 7, 2009 No spots here but good luck bro. You're gonna sweat your ars off. Quote
gar-tracker Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Were are you putting in? If South Its an early bite, try to find some decent schoolers to get your limit quick, because once that sun gets up it gets tough, try the shoal just north of Uncle Joes, if its calm try out by cross island and the two spoil islands adjacent to the channel that extends out from the mouth of Uncle Joes canal. Theres fish all around Ritta island and there has been for months, but its a parking lot, their still in there, big fish as well. If you go in there and get a limit early I would stay until around 10 then head for the rim ditch and try to crank up a big kicker. try the cut at 92 and 100. If North If its up north theres some nice schoolers on the bottom of kings bar and the east side of grassy(the grassy up north). If your up there get your limit at one of these two spots then head for the Kissimmee River to get a kicker. Iv been up there all last week all of the above is what iv been doing to get decent limits. The waters up almost to 13. Good luck, I have one in 2 weeks. Quote

gar-tracker Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 go to okee tantie/or 2 moonshine bay throw the sexy swimmer in citrus color.yum money minnow with 5/0 hook floating through the pads ,cheese :-/ If you can get into moonshine bay right now I would love to know how. And okee tantie is a boat ramp and park not an actual part of the Lake. Quote
bocabasser Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 thanks guys. i am going up tomorrow to pre-fish. doug--i know. i am gonna sweat a lot. i jump in at least 5 times throughout the day. it cools me off. i am going to start at the shoal and see what i can muster. i will then head back south and work coots bay and if i have to, i will shoot over to pelican. the lake is real good right now and some guys in my club are on some big stuff. i just hope i can hang with them. i will let ya'll know how i do.

B-n-B Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 a question about the lake and size limit: I read from the FWC site that all bass under 18" must be released immediately in the lake... correct me if im wrong but that has to hurt tournament fishing throwing back 17 3/4"..or am i just reading the rules wrong?? :-/ Quote
etommy28 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 that is correct, however for most all tournys they will get get size waives to allow for any fish over 12inches to be weighed. Quote

YUP, you need waivers for tournys. Nowhere is limit changed like at Okeechobee, they just cant figure out whats best. Quote
