Florida Bass Fishing Techniques Developed by the Guides!

You’ve planned all year or even longer for that first Florida bass fishing trip. You made all the preparations, hooked up the boat and journeyed to your fishing destination in sunny Florida. You get to the ramp, launch the boat and look out at a lake like you’ve never seen before. There are reeds, cypress trees, cattails and grass of all kinds as far as the eye can see. Only boat trails to lead you out to the open water…where ever that is? At this point you may be feeling a bit over whelmed because everything looks fishy. So where do you start first?

A guide to Florida bass fishing is dedicated to taking the guess work out of planning your next, or first, Florida fishing trip. Using my experience as a professional Florida fishing guide, my job is to help you unlock the mystery of catching these monster bass.

The goal of this site is to teach you techniques and strategies used by the guides. After all, the key to having fun and enjoying a good time is catching fish. Have you ever heard the expression, “That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching”? The aim here is to reduce the amount of time it takes to finding the fish (fishing) and increase your catch rate (catching).

We’ll cover every thing from proper boat equipment to photographing your trophy. Since this site is designed for everyone from novice to experienced, I’ll cover everything necessary for a successful trip.

Here is a list of areas I’ll be covering:

  • Techniques
  • Boat electronics
  • Best times
  • Tackle
  • Knots
  • Equipment
  • Gear
  • Lures
  • Live bait
  • Boats
  • Vegetation
  • License
  • Regulations
  • Accommodations
  • Other attractions
  • Photography
  • Lakes

So Get In the Boat and Let’s Go Fishing!
