Big Florida Bass with Nick Kefalides

The lake system of Central Florida is well known for holding some huge bass. We are talking trophy sized largemouth bass. It is not uncommon to have days where you release multiple fish in the 8-12 pound range. With hundreds of lakes accessible to fishermen, how do you know which lake to fish on any given day throughout the year? I know from personal experience, different lakes will produce sizeable fish at different times during the year. Bass fishing techniques play a big part in deciding which lakes to fish, also. The one constant is that the big bass are out there. You may just need a little edge and that is driven by your knowledge.

The Spring season is a great time to fish. Big bass are entering the spawn and their tendencies lean toward the more aggressive.

Nick will tell you that if you want to catch a huge bucket mouth monster bass, the Spring spawn is the time to fish. He will put you on fish.
