The best way to catch Florida Largemouth Bass in deep water is by appealing to the sense of territory and annoying them. They may not be hungry, but a lure dropping a few feet from them and swimming by them will cause them to strike at the lure. Use a 1/2 ounce to one ounce weight 4/0 to 6/0 hook with a craw styled bait. Worm baits work well too, but make sure you choose a thick weed mat made from hyacinths, Kissimmee grass and alligator weed. Another great lure to use is a spinner bait with a plastic worm.

Beginning river fishermen have a tough time keeping the right amount of line tension while presenting a tube or jig.  You do not want to put so much tension on it that the tube or jig is in constant motion.  You also do not want to have slack in the line – you will not feel the bite.  Consider the speed of current, the speed of your boats drift, and the angle of each cast before making the presentation.  Find the balance between slack line where you will not feel the hit, and too much tension, where your tube or jig is moving too often or too fast.  Boat...

Sixty years ago, the population of kelp bass was significantly larger than it is today. There are several reason for the reduction in population. While many like to blame over fishing, the cause is more complex. While the human population on the west coast has exploded in the last fifty years, the most significant reduction in population first occured during the sixties and seventies. At this time, the globe was undergoing a global cooling trend that lasted for about fourty years and ended in the early 80s, leading to a warming phase. However, while global temperatures were the first to cause a reduction in numbers, the increased human population...
