This is the new Family Sport. Bass Fishing can be so much fun and something that can be enjoyed by the entire family! I have always loved this sport with my family. We mostly fished for crappie in both North Texas and SE Oklahoma. Never came home with an empty cooler!! Amazingly, Lake County, FL has over 1,000 lakes and that is how it got it’s name. Crazy!
Now I Know That Bass Fishing can be so much fun!! I recently bought a great Monster Bass Charter Fishing package for my husband’s birthday. If you have never been bass fishing in Central Florida you are missing out!! You have to find that secret place to start. Hidden off the beaten path are the best places. There are many lakes near us (over 1,000 to be exact). Captain Chris was great!! He not only took us to the best places where all of the bass were biting; in addition he gave us a true education on the local lakes and the chains that connected them all together. This experience was amazing and we both enjoyed it very much.
When Bass Fishing You Never Know What You May See!!
In this case, we met our Captain at 8:00 AM. In fact, we were so eager that we arrived at our meeting spot at 7:30. We had time to explore the area and we found tiny homes. They were so cute! Not only were they all in a circle, but also each was painted with Florida Beachy colors! Each had it’s own identity with a different color, front porch and a private back yard. Very quaint and cozy!
Once we got on the water is when we really enjoyed ourselves. Our Captain took us out on the huge lake for about 30 minutes before we anchored and got to wet a hook. Nile and I had a friendly competition. I caught the first bass but he caught the biggest. We had a blast!! As we began wetting our hooks we realized that the bass are pretty smart and we both love Bass Fishing!
Since it was really hot on that July day the fish seemed to stay in the shade of the trees and even under some of the boats that were docked under the cover. We caught the most near the docks. We even saw a baby gator that we got to know. He was a bit shy but kept coming back for our bait that we threw into the water.
Our Newest Hobby of Bass Fishing Will Be A Regular Thing
While I have been fishing for many years with my Mom & Dad and enjoyed each and every weekend trip, I am loving having my New Best Friend and Husband to do this together. Even though he has dark skin and loves to be outside, I on the other hand have extremely ivory skin and will sunburn in about 10 minutes. With this in mind, we have to compromise. I have to wear a hat, sunglasses and a long sleeve shirt but just as I look his way I see that he has taken his shirt off and is basking while fishing…

Best Bass Fishing Tips & Tricks
LARGEMOUTH BASS HABITAT
- Locate the Bass: Over the years I have found that Bass like shallower areas of the freshwater ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and slow-moving rivers that have some type of cover. This serves as vegetation, brush, trees, or structure.
- Look for fallen trees, broken docks or other types of protection
GETTING BASS TO BITE
- Always try to choose a bait or lure that mimics the type of prey that the bass are likely to be feeding on in the waterway where you plan to fish.
- Bass can sense vibrations from rattling lures or baits using their lateral line and you may get more strikes.
- Many soft plastic frogs, lizards and crayfish are used to imitate the natural favorites of bass.
Things to remember for your bass fishing trip:
- Be on time arriving to your bass fishing destination to meet your Captain
- Make sure you have plenty of water for the day
- Snacks to sustain us until we get home
- Sunscreen – some of us need this more than others – ME ME ME
- Closed toe shoes
- A long sleeve shirt for when you have gotten enough sun
- Bait to attract the type of fish you are fishing for
- A hat to protect your head from the sun
- Sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun and the glare off of the water
Celebrating On And Off The Water
In conclusion, we did some serious celebrating both on and off the water. Nile needed to boast about him getting the largest bass. I let him enjoy the moment. After all, he did catch the largest bass while fishing. Finally, as we enjoyed one of our favorite wines: the Nile Eddy Pinot Noir with dinner, we reflected on the day and how much fun it was, despite the heat. Remember, it is hot in Florida in July!!
