This main lake grass is good; it has plenty of Kissimmee grass. Also, look for scattered offshore eelgrass; peppergrass is gold if you can find it. Fish, like most lakes, spawn shallow in the grass edges. Because of the access of canals off the main lake, look for spawning bass canals during the springtime spawn on full and new moons.
When fishing on Lake Pierce over several days, catching a 4 or 5-lb bass is not uncommon!

Regarding the fishing license, a Florida fishing license is required from the boat or shoreline at this location. If you travel from another state and, for example, have a Pennsylvania fishing license, it is not good in Florida.
