Fish don’t talk, but we can
Fish don’t talk – even if they are referred to as largemouths. But we can and should. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) mission is “To manage fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people.” The latter aspect of that mission makes it critical that FWC staff and stakeholders, such as freshwater anglers and boaters, collaborate to ensure the use of the most appropriate fisheries management practices.

Fishing Clear Lake this Week | Updates from the Lake
As of this morning the lake is at 7.53 Rumsey, with “full pool” being 7.56 we are there, and the lake will most likely see 8.0 Rumsey by weeks end. Water temps are in the low to mid 50’s.

Trust me, I’ve seen more than one guide service put the hurt on em’ to that tune.

Shakey Head for Largemouth and Bronzebacks
Let’s face it, both largemouth and smallmouth bass will take the opportunity to down a worm. In order to set the hook, there are two main locations that I look for on natural lakes and/or reservoir systems. Areas that have a weed to rock transition is my primary target for largemouth. For big bronzebacks, I focus on deep, cool water situated on an outside bend where the channel swings up next to the bank. #TBT
