The Best Florida Bass Fishing Hot Spots


Author: Jack Mitchell -
Florida has gained an international acknowledgment for its exceptional saltwater fishing, but the outstanding freshwater fishing has not yet captured the widespread attention of the same amount of visitors. Residents of this state are in on the secret, however; that they have three very active freshwater clubs here in Collier County. Tourists and out of state bass fishermen are very much welcome here with the amenities and lodgings available for them. Boats, equipments are for rent and this provides much convenience for travelers. Since Florida has more than 7,500 lakes available, anglers sometimes face a tough decision about where to fish. It is really very important to consider the lakes. The following list of Top Bass Fishing Areas with Bass Fishing rentals aims to help anglers find a quality place to catch either a good numbers of bass or to catch a trophy bass. 1. Lake George Lake George is one of the many natural lakes on the St. John's River. It has extensive vegetation that provides excellent habitat for bass. Wade fishing in eelgrass with plastic worms fished on the surface, and other top water artificial lures are productive. Fishing with live shiners is an excellent method for catching trophy bass during the spring spawning season. 2. Stick Marsh Reservoir Anglers in this river can locate bass throughout the reservoir among a variety of habitats including woody stump fields, submerged canals and hydrilla. Summer 2004 hurricanes drastically reduced levels of hydrilla throughout the reservoir, however, which can affect where bass are located. Anglers should keep this in mind when trying to pattern fish. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, soft jerkbaits, and topwater propeller baits are effective. Wild golden shiners are the top choice for anglers looking to catch a trophy fish. 3. Lake Tohopekaliga Most anglers here target trophy bass use live golden shiners during early spring. Shiners are fished inshore near native vegetation or topped-out hydrilla . Plastic baits (worms, crawfish and lizards) flipped along grass edges, hydrilla, and bulrush will also catch quality-sized bass. Spinnerbaits, soft jerkbaits and chugging baits can also be very productive at times 4. Lake Kissimmee Lake Kissimmee is the largest of five main water bodies on the famous Kissimmee River in central Florida. Lake Kissimmee is nationally renowned for producing high quality fishing. Tournament anglers on Lake Kissimmee are posting winning weights of 18 to 20 pounds of bass. Results of an angler survey indicated that bass anglers had an excellent catch rate of 0.54 fish/hour during spring 2004. 5. Rodman Reservoir Rodman Reservoir, east of Gainesville and south of Palatka, covers 9,500 acres of prime largemouth bass habitat. Since its creation in 1968, Rodman Reservoir has been known for trophy largemouth bass. 6. Lake Tarpon Anglers in this lake are most successful in flipping or pitching plastic worms along canal and bulrush edges. Offshore bass fishing is productive for anglers who fish around ledges, humps, coontail, and eelgrass beds. Popular lures offshore include shad-imitating jigs, crankbaits, jerkbaits and topwater baits. Fishing with wild shiners and live shad is also effective. 7. Lake Walk-In-Water The lake is located south of Orlando and east of Lake Wales, and it is just south of S.R. 60. Lake Walk-in-Water has a national reputation as an outstanding spot to catch largemouth bass. Anglers frequently catch up to 25 bass a day with several ranging from four to eight pounds. The lake also produces many trophy bass exceeding 10 pounds each year. A 15- to 24-inch slot limit regulation and a three-bass daily bag limit are in place to help maintain quality bass fishing. Anglers may keep three bass per day, either under or over the protected slot range, of which only one bass greater than or equal to 24 inches is allowed. 8. Lake Istokpoga Istokpoga is the fifth largest natural lake in Florida and has an average depth of only six feet. During angler surveys conducted from October 2003 throughout May 2004, anglers caught 124,993 bass, of which almost 55,000 were 2 pounds or heavier, and 1,448 bass were over 8 pounds. 9. Deer Point Lake Deer Point Lake is a popular largemouth bass fishing destination in Florida's panhandle area near Panama City. 10. Suwanee River The Suwannee River is a pristine, black water stream flowing 213 miles in Florida from the swamp-like region at the Georgia border to salt-marsh tidal creeks at the Gulf of Mexico. This river is known for trophy largemouth bass. 11. The Everglades The Everglades are south Florida marshlands intersected with over 200 miles of canals. Most anglers fish in the canals rather than in the marsh. Anglers work canal edges with plastic worms, soft jerkbaits, and minnow imitations. Flipping the vegetation is also a popular technique. Wherever you decide to go, you can be sure that you can have the time of your life fishing and all at a convenience. You can just rent out a boat and eliminate the need to tow your own boat or worse have to buy your own. Other gears are also available as a rental for your own convenience and ease. There are also many lodges and inns plus cabins you can rent out for a weekend or more.

With Leather Sheath.

Customer Review: Realy great tool

I carry it everywhere except for school and use it everyday. It comes in great handy when trying to work on paintball guns away from home and I even used it to cut myself lose from a thorn bush once. My point is that it is a very versatile tool.

Customer Review: Almost perfect

This is the first multitool I have ever purchased and I intend to keep it with me only for emergency purposes, i.e., in the car, while hiking, etc. I'm happy with the variety of tools, the quality of workmanship, and the smooth action of deploying, locking and releasing each tool. The leather pouch has a velcro closure, it is constructed with heavy stitching, and it can accept a belt passing behind it (up to 2" wide) so it can be worn.



The scissor design has been changed to a lever spring action rather than the older thin spring action which could fail by misaligning, the metal and wood saws are precision tools and appear to be cut by laser or diamond, the pliers are stamped with the Victorinox logo and are lightly brushed, and the overall finish is very clean.



My only design concern is that the large knife blade has a scalloped edge for most of its length. While this edge is as sharp as a razor, the scalloping prevents it from being re-sharpened as may be needed with wear and tear. I would much rather prefer a straight-edged knife so I would be able to renew the edge when needed with a sharpening stone or by using a steel.



Otherwise, this is a smart-looking asset to have around for emergencies and should last many years. A good deal for the price.
