Florida Bass Fishing

Florida bass are well-known as strong fighters, and are fished recreationally.  Florida Largemouth bass are known for their overall size and resistance when hooked, favoring short, powerful runs and escape to cover such as submerged logs or weedbeds.  Florida Smallmouth bass tend to jump more and fight aggressively on the surface when hooked, in order to throw the hook.  Spring is the best time of year to catch Florida bass, when fish move into shallow water to spawn. Spawning may occur as early as January in extreme south Florida and as late as May in the panhandle, but March and April are peak months. Most large bass are taken at this time; after spawning, many large females move to offshore areas.

Clearwater Florida Fishing

Inshore fishing is mostly trout. Trout are big and aplenty. Offshore in 20 to 30 feet trolling for grouper is fantastic. Grouper to 30 inches were caught.

Florida Waterfront Homes

Largemouth and peacock bass are biting hard jerkbaits and topwater lures in Everglades canals.

Florida Everglades Fishing

Indian River Florida Fishing

Improving striped bass bite in the Indian River Inlet. Drifting live fleas has been working at night. A few more around in the day as well on the incoming tide. Bucktails and swim shads are good daytime baits.

Florida Bass Fishing

Lake Monroe Florida Fishing

Fish Lake Monroe near reeds and in shallow waters for bass. Topwater lures, buzzbaits and spinnerbaits are all effective.

Florida Bay/10,000 Islands Fishing

There is good snook fishing in the backcountry creeks. On the outside, cobia are thick and big, which makes trout catches the by-catch.

Florida Keys Fishing

Offshore fishing is improving, with anglers catching wahoo up to 40 pounds, kingfish and slammer dolphin all inside 200 feet. The best sailfishing has been from Ocean Reef to the Elbow, yellowtail snapper and red and black groupers were biting.

Florida Keys Fishing

Florida Gold Coast Fishing

Fishing for sailfish has been excellent. Anglers caught sailfish live-baiting in 300 feet, kingfish trolling in 120-140 feet, blackfin and skipjack tuna were in 250-350 feet.

Lake Kissimmee Fishing

More bass inside the outside edge of grass lines and on grass points hitting Flukes and Senkos as well as frogs. Fishermen flipping and casting to isolated clumps of vegetation with black/blue Gambler Ugly Otters (Bowen's Silver) and black/blue glitter 10-inch worms for better size but fewer bites. Speckled perch kind of on hold until another cold front comes. Gobbler Ridge and Marker 8 end of Grassy Island good spots for specks before sun comes up. Bluegill hanging in there at Brahma Island.

Florida Lodging

Lake Istokpoga Florida Fishing

Bass anglers are catching some nice fish, but specks are still spotty. Catches of eight to 15 specks are common. Night speck action is still best.

Lake Lochloosa Florida Fishing

Limits of speckled perch, the fish have been in 6 to 8 feet.

Lake Okeechobee Florida Fishing

Bass fishing has been good for anglers using plastic worms, jerkbaits and topwaters along the outside grass lines.

Lake Okeechobee Florida Fishing

Sarasota Florida Fishing

Bluefish to 5 pounds are being taken on Cal jigs and Clouser flies. Lots of trout, a few mackerel and pompano are also biting. Small Clouser flies are the ticket to success on a fly rod. Watch for pompano when you are running, as they will “skip” away from the boat. Fish the deeper flats.

Lake Toho Florida Fishing

Smaller bass schooling off and on around hydrilla on north end, with small topwater lures (little Zara Spooks, Spittin' Images, Pop-Rs) early and unweighted Senkos, Flukes and Trick worms effective for keepers up to 2-3 pounds. But bite slower than last week. A few specks off metal pier on north end.

Lake Tarpon Florida Fishing

Bass to 5 pounds are being caught. More specks are being caught as bluegill anglers shift gears from bluegill to speckled perch. Night fishing is still the best for good bass catches.

Lake Tarpon Florida Fishing

Lake Panasoffkee Florida Fishing

Specks aren’t hot yet, but perhaps after the next cool weather they might turn on. Some can be caught, but they are few and far between. Schooling bass are turned on very nicely, with an occasional larger fish.

St. Johns River Fishing

Speckled perch are starting to bite. Most of the action has been in the various creeks in deeper water or on top of submerged trees. They're also staging outside the creek mouths in the deeper areas next to lily pads.

Top Florida Bass Fishing Hot Spots  Click Here

1. Lake Tohopekaliga

Most anglers here target the larger trophy bass. Anglers here use live golden shiners during early spring. These shiners are fished inshore near to the vegetation or topped-out hydrilla . Plastic baits such as worms or crawfish pulled along grass edges, hydrilla, and bulrush will also catch quality-sized bass. Spinners, soft jerk baits and chugging baits can also prove very productive.

2. Lake George

Lake George is a beautiful natural lake situated on the St. John s River. It has extensive vegetation that provides an excellent habitat for bass. Here at Bass Fishing Techniques we recommend wader fishing in the eelgrass with plastic worms fished on the surface, and other top water artificial lures prove very productive time and time again. Fishing with live shiners is an excellent method for catching yourself a trophy bass during the spring spawning season.

3. Lake Walk-In-Water

This lake is situated just south of Orlando and to the east of Lake Wales. It is just south of S.R. 60. This lake has an outstanding reputation for its largemouth bass. 4 – 8 pound bass are common and bags of 25+ frequent. Anglers regularly report catching trophy bass of over 10 pounds. There are some rules in place here. There is a 15 - 24 inch slot limit and anglers are allowed may keep 3 bass per day, which are either under or over the protected slot range. Only one bass greater than or equal to the 24 inch slot range is allowed.

4. Stick Marsh Reservoir

Summer hurricanes in 2004 drastically reduced the levels of hydrilla throughout this reservoir. This affects the location of the bass and anglers should keep this in mind when trying to pattern fish. Bass can be located throughout this reservoir among a variety of habitats including submerged canals and woody stump fields. Plastic worms, spinners, crank baits, soft jerk baits, and top water propeller baits are effective. Wild golden shiners are the top choice for anglers looking to catch that trophy bass.

5. Deer Point Lake

Deer Point Lake is a popular largemouth bass fishing destination in Florida s panhandle area near Panama City. Plastic worms, spinners, crank baits, soft jerk baits, and top water propeller baits are most effective on this lake.

6. Suwannee River

The Suwannee River is an excellent black water stream that flows 213 miles in Florida from the swamp-like region at the Georgia border to salt-marsh tidal creeks at the Gulf of Mexico. This river has an excellent reputation for its trophy largemouth bass.

7. Lake Kissimmee

Lake Kissimmee is the largest of the 5 main lakes on the renowned Kissimmee River of central Florida. Lake Kissimmee is famous for producing high quality fishing. Many tournament anglers on Lake Kissimmee are boasting winning weights of 18 to 20 pounds of bass. The results of a survey indicated that bass anglers had an excellent catch rate of 0.54 fish per hour during spring 2004.

8. Rodman Reservoir

Rodman Reservoir, east of Gainesville and south of Palatka, covers over 9,500 acres of prime largemouth bass habitat. Since the reservoirs creation in 1968, Rodman Reservoir has been known for trophy largemouth bass.

9. The Everglades

The Everglades are situated in the south Florida marshlands and they are intersected with over 200 miles of canals. Most anglers prefer to fish the canals rather than the marsh. Anglers will often work canal edges with plastic worms, soft jerk baits, and minnow imitations. Flipping the vegetation is also a popular technique and yields good results.

10. Lake Tarpon

Anglers who frequent this lake are most successful when flipping or pitching plastic worms along canal and bulrush edges. Offshore bass fishing is very productive for anglers who fish around ledges, humps, coontail, and eelgrass beds. Popular lures to use offshore include shad-imitating jigs, crank baits, jerk baits and top water baits. Fishing with wild shiners and live shad is also very effective.
