Any Largemouth Bass fishing tips in a Florida Lake?
June 7, 2009
I live on a large lake in Florida and I fish a lot on it but am not catching a lot of bass ill catch one or two one pound or two pounders but nothing bigger than that in a while. Any tips on bait, time of day, where to look for them? How do I know if theres bigger ones? lots of questions just try to help me out please.
Well I have been using Gulp worms with the bullet weight and occasionally been trying some spinnerbaits but I guess I should try a larger lure. I do have a boat but maybe I should try out those deep spots more. Theres one spot in the lake where it goe from about 7 feet to 18 feet so I will try it out there.

Got something to say?
The bigger fish are there- sometimes they go through a stage of not biting. Then one day you make the same trip with the same lures and the bite is on! If in your case the bigger fish is never biting, you may have to change tactics. Go to some of the oversize plastics and fish a little more deeper waters -instead of the shore line, fish the underwater grass line located farther out from the bank-when you find the edge of the grass line where the deeper water starts to drop off past it, this is where you want to do your serious fishing.
It also sounds as if you are fishing from the bank. This time of year, the bass are in deeper water then you can reach by bank fishing. Try to hook up with a friend that has a boat.
As far as the best time of day, In a lifetime of fishing, I've found there is no set time for the fish to bite the best- some times the bite will be the best in the evening, sometimes in the morning, and at times the mid-day period is best. And then at times it is a night time feed going on. There is one thing you can count on- the bite will change after a few days!
You didn't say what lures you were trying, but for the bigger fish, I would suggest the plastics rigged Texas style and a light slip sinker would be a good bet. And on days when there is cloud cover, or when you fish early morning or late evening, use a buzz bait- the size of the fish that hit them runs to the large sizes usually, but not always. -Hope this helps you somewhat. Good luck and good fishing!
