It's been a great month of bass fishing in the Florida Everglades. We've been catching usually 40 to 60 bass per outing. Most of these fish have been caught on plastic worm style baits and no shiners. The key to catching these fish is waiting for the clouds and wind to pick up later in the morning or early afternoon. The water clarity is quite good this time of year and if you're using any surface type baits these fish will usually turn away from your presentation. Unusually long casts help to mask your boat from being seen. If your fishing deep with worms or senko's the long casts aren't as necessary.
We've had quite a few trips for largemouth bass this month with some of repeat customers for different parts of the country. A few highlight trips were Hugh & Ruth Spegiel from Tennessee and Scott Jungmichael and his buudy Chris from San Antonio, Texas. Hugh and Ruth in three days of fishing landed about 170 bass and peacock from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale canals. Scott and Chris had a great day catching peacock bass in Miami landing a 6 lb. and 5 lb. fish and totaling 26 fish for the day. Here are a few pictures to highlight a great May 2008 in South Florida.
