If you are coming to Florida, now is a great time to hire a guide and go bass fishing. Whether you like bass fishing or saltwater fishing these next few weeks are prime fishing weeks. Bass are feeding this time of the year in preparation for the winter, now is a great opportunity to catch a big hungry bass. Fishing this month has been very consistent, early morning, between 7 and 9 am, I have been spending my time catching schooling fish with shad colored flukes, spinner baits (various colors), and the occasional top water plug or frog (black). Once the schooling action slows down I change gears and fish very slow, flipping black and blue colored jigs into thick grass and brush piles. It is a lot of work and takes a great deal of patients but the rewards are worth it. My bigger fish this month have been caught flipping jigs.
Weather is now begining to play a factor on how I fish. Fish are most active before and during an approaching front, the bite is rather good during the time. It’s after a front passes that tests any angler. When I fish the days after a front passes you usually get some wind and bright blue skies, so fishing docks, thick grass and brush work the best for me. If it’s windy I tend to fish the windward side and flip into areas where the wind is not directly blowing into, you will usually find fish held up there waiting to ambush passing by bait.
