Florida Bass fishing..what lures are best for this?
| 
Author:
Time of year. we are now post spawn i think and the bite has gone away. I know this B/C i just bought the smart caster (RF25) by Humminbird so i now know where the fish are. I highly recomend bying this item for the shore angler there is nothing better and so much fun.
Is there a magazine out there that covers Florida? i do get bassmaster but it seems that it covers the rest of the upper states and as much as i like it i would like to find a magazine that covers only florida/texas as we dont see much of a change in the weather.
also is there a teaching video for children somewhere? my nieces and nephews are 6-12 and i have given them the fishing bug but thier dad is no old man in the sea so i would like to show them VIA an instructional video how to fish for the big BASS..
Thank in advance for all answers and suggestions

It depends on a lot of factors. Type of water; depth; coverage; clarity etc. Probably a carolina-rigged plastic worm would be the best all-round lure. Try different colors to see what they are hitting! LoL.
those floridas are pushovers for a big plastic worm. 6 to 10 inches.
rig them texas style so you can work them through the grass more easily.
you tube has lots of fishing videos and some are quite good. you might find this a good link:

this one is just a sample. there are lots of them.
and of course, you may find some silly ones too.
Ok. I’m not going to say they’ll work every time, and I’m not going to say they’ll increase your catch rate 110% or anything like that, but when I go freshwater fishing, I NEVER go without a pack of Senkos… rig ‘em however you want, I prefer wacky, just because it’s simple, simple, simple, and let’s just say it’s rare to not catch anything on them if there’s anything around to eat them.
Have to agree that Florida Sportsman is probably ~the~ best magazine for us Florida anglers, lots of good info. As for the kids, just keep them interested… what I’ve found is that as long as they’re included, that’s all they care about… catch a fish, and it’s just a bonus, and I doubt the foremost thing in their mind is catching lunkers just yet. My goal is to get my niece and nephew on a mess of bluegill in the coming year… or mangrove snapper… something along those lines where no real skill is required, just the patience and the ability to put the food in front of the fish.
Good luck
