In talking to the area’s bait & tackle shops, the last few weeks of unseasonably warm temperatures has really slowed down the bass bite. Baitfish that where once schooling have scattered and so have the bass. Best bets are to revert back to summertime fishing patterns and be out there early before the sun rises or late in the afternoon for that early sundown. Frogs and buzzbaits are making a comeback in this hot weather. Nov 11th, 2015
The word for this weekend around Lake Okeechobee and south-central Florida is HOT. Consecutive days of near record heat has slowed the pre-spawn feeding of the bass and forced them to move back into a summertime pattern. This means the bite is real early in the morning with wild shiners being the best bait and artificial lures falling off the pace. Fortunately there appears to be some relief on the way and conditions should return to a more typical fall pattern in the coming weeks. Nov 5th, 2015
This month we select a style of lure for our Lure of the Month rather than an individual lure. In the coming months Specks will be showing up in the shallows in large numbers for their annual spawn and the Crappie Jig should be a go-to lure for you.Oct 26th, 2015
