Fishing the small
waters of Florida !

A year 'round
resource !


 
 
Here is a real good picture
of me and a nice bass  that 
probably weighed 7 lbs.

Notice my big grin !
 
 

She went back in right
after the photo . . .
 

to be caught another day
. . . . . . perhaps by you ?


 
 
Spring fishing with Rat'l Traps

Twenty four inches or so and about
8 lbs.. This lady had already laid her
eggs or she would have weighed close
to ten pounds filled with all the roe.

She swam happily away too !

None the worse for wear . . .
Just a little fun and exercise !



 
 

My grandson, Jonathan's best catch during summer
vacation of 2001. A Largemouth Bass ~ ~ 7 lbs 9 oz

Florida is full of small waters that really lend
themselves to easy "laid back" fishing while 
being quite productive in catches of trophy fish.

Fun for youth, men, women, the elderly or the physically
challenged when you are on small waters. And Florida
is a year 'round producer of many species of freshwater
game fish. The hottest day in July can be just as
productive
as that perfect day in January if the Largemouth Bass
is your quarry and you can take the heat.

Jonathan caught this one on July 24th
and received a youth angling award
from the State of Florida.

 


 

 
This is Nitro.
My four year old German Shepherd.
Nitro is almost a solid black or black/brown
really. She is an unusual color and an unusual
dog in general.     She came from a Shepherd
Rescue where she was going to be put down.

Nitro is looking patriotic here in a photo
taken shortly after September 11, 2001. 

She is thinking that she would really like to
sink her teeth into one of those terrorists !

Interested in spending a day on one of Florida's little waters with
extra large Largemouth bass?   Drop me a line and we'll discuss it.
The state is dotted with quiet little lakes and streams that offer
great fishing and the opportunity to enjoy God's great outdoors
without the jet ski's, air boats and other recreational craft. I have
fished on many of them and there is probably one close to you.

I have fished practically all of my life and have fished almost all
the different methods there are for freshwater species. If you
enjoy live bait and bobbers . . . . trolling or the latest methods
used by the professional tournament angler,  we can do that.
 

I enjoy fishing any time except Sunday mornings,  which are reserved.
 

~~~~~~~~~~
Make a donation of $350.00 or more and spend the day with us
as we explore bassin' haunts outside the 25 mile radius of Sarasota.

~~~~~~~~~~
Spend the week in pursuit of Florida's Black Bass (6 days)
There are several areas in Florida where multiple waters are available
to bass anglers. The area around the Big 'O', Ocala, the Chain of Lakes,
etc., Send us an email and we'll see what we can work out. 
 

~~~~~~~~~~
I take half or full day trips within a 25 mile radius of Sarasota.
$250 full day

~~~~~~~~~~
Your choice of sunrise to noon or 1pm 'til dark.
$150 half day

FOOD AND DRINK

All you need to bring is yourself and personal items which should
include sunscreen. Florida mornings and afternoons can cook you
on the water. I have everything else aboard that you would need
including tackle, either spinning or casting, or you may bring your
rods and reels. The cooler has water, Diet Coke and GatorAid. If
you would prefer something other . . . just let me know. There is
always a supply of snacks aboard too.   Fruit, trail mix, oat cakes
and of course, sardines, viennies and beenie weenies.     Full day
trips include a box lunch and I put an extra large cooler aboard.
 

~~~~~~~~~~
MEMORIES

There is always a digital camera aboard too. I like to keep a photo
log of my fishin' pals and their catch.    Generally, I encourage the
release of the large bass we catch.   The consensus is that the big
ole' good ones reproduce more good ole' big ones and I like that !

If you would like to keep a few for dinner that is alright too. We'll
probably catch several in the 14 to 16 inch range that are good on
the table.        I'm sure we will have a wonderful and blessed day !
