Is anyone seeing any signs of the crappie spawn in mid-central Florida?

Went out on Lake Harris and Lake Eustes yesterday and nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Probably just too early

Any reports for Lake Eustis? I don’t want to drive down to visit relatives there until the specks are hitting good.

We spent the day on Monday October 16th on Eustis (Mostly the Northern side, Harris, mostly around the island, and up and down the dead river. Nothing.

We will wait a couple weeks and try again.

Griffin is kind of a haul from where we launch but we need to get to Griffin and try it.

Normally yes. Last year by February there was no sign of them in shallow waters and they were just barely hitting.

I decided to start earlier this season so I wouldn’t miss the spawn.

I just moved to Frostproof Florida and appreciate any updates and info on local lakes. Mostly fishing from a kayak. I'm in the" adapting to Florida conditions stage" Keeping a journal of all my missteps and making adjustments as I go.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm also hoping to find some fishing partners that I might tag along with. Happy to share expenses and bring along sandwiches etc.
