My best super fluke for down here is the Zoom "Blue Glimmer" (looks peral and blue ) and Bitters Native Shiner (blackgreengold)

I'm in broward county, south of Palm Beach, I have never seen a golden shiner or a shad in any small lake or pond. They do definitely eat bluegill, but mostly small tilapia and cichlids. Maybe on the larger lake like Lake O, or Headwaters. But south of Palm beach nope! But love your content 👍🎣

Buzz bait, Jackhammer Chatterbait in black and blue, junebug or grape senko style worms. I like Berkeley gulp in purple or watermelon. Just let them sit. Top water black Choppo or frog. These simple three are what I fish in the panhandle about 95% of the time. When it’s windy, 1/2 ounce white spinner bait with trailer hook. I catch a lot of 3 to 6 lb bass and get the occasional big bite.

Central Florida (Harris Chains and Kissimmee Chains, etc.) have such finicky fish at certain times and even the Pros find those areas to be odd for finding patterns. What you said in this video was Spot-on about where they hang out and what baits and colors they like to bite on. The exception s that were not mentioned was Bubble Gum Pink and Black/Purple or Blue/Purple stick baits, especially Trick Worms. Anyway, glad I found your channel!

Well i have lived in florida my whole life, living here is like bass fishing in florida its very confusing and unique.

According to JT Kenny, a FWC biologist told him that 75% of a Florida bass diet is bluegill. Of the remaining 25, 15% was crawfish. Crawfish are very prolific in waters with vegetation. The remaining 10% is shinners, shad and frogs. At the same time remember we have large he populations of tilapia which bass are getting attuned to eating.

@nathanquincefishing7122

2 жыл бұрын

Yep! Not saying they don’t eat crawfish just that they aren’t the majority forage as they only are about 15 percent they spend more time eating other types of fish mostly!

So I have to laugh. You know your stuff yo. I been fishing this pond down from my house in Fl and I know there are bass in there. I saw a dead baby when I first went there. I been fishing it for a long time and never got bass to bite. I used worms crawdads buzzbaits frogs. Texas rigged Carolina rigged. After watching this I tried my silver lure with the chatter weights in it. I found the one that looked closest to a silver shad. 5 casts caught biggest bass I caught yet since I started fishing again. I knew they were in there. You sir are a Florida bass fishing guru.

The absolute easiest way to catch bass is the Wacky worm. While it's not 'covering water' it is very successful at getting bass. I think VMC makes a Neko Weedless hook. It has a 50lb. fluorocarbon weed guards that work in hydrilla. Oh.. Side Scan does work in Florida. It will help find brush piles that hold good bass.

I use a zoom swimming fluke, it’s basically a fluke body but with a paddle tail

You can 100% catch bass in the summer time here in Florida but you need to be out there at first light these fish want to be in deeper water and so find grass in deeper water and remember you could make 2 perfect casts and not get a bite. That third throw in could put your bait exactly how they want it and trigger a bite. Just because you don't get bit on the initial couple throws doesn't mean there isn't a fish down there willing to bite

All great points. Had to learn all this myself. I also have good luck on green pumpkin ribbon tail worms when it's tough. Texas rig them and drag them through the grass or edges of hydrilla.

There is good fishing in cold fronts here in Florida... I fished Florida my whole life. Born and raised here. The trick to catching big bass in Florida in the cold fronts it to slow down and fish deep pockets.
