The bass are spawning on the open flats and in the rim canal. The flats out from the west wall, Coot bay and Pelican bay have been the prime areas. Fishing the ledges in the rim canal has also produced some nice bass. The intercostal waterway east out of Clewiston has been good.  Topwater action has been good using small prop baits such as the Crazy Shad or Pop R's.  Fishing Senkos weightless or with a small weight has been working good. Especially during the spawn, fishing slow is the best presentation. Medium to shallow running crank baits have been good especially in the rim canal. If you enjoy sight fishing, this is the spawning season on the Big O and you should be fishing. And last but not least, the wild shiner fishing has been fantastic. Lunker bass over 11 lbs are already being caught and the spawning season has just begun.

Nice size specs (crappie) are being caught in the rim canal. Bait of choice has been live minnows or jigs.
