First Trip with Captain Bill

“Cold fronts are inevitable during this time in Central Florida. Fortunately, spending days on the water helps figuring out the pattern during all conditions. Utilizing slow working artificial baits and live bait is an effective method of putting fish in the boat.  Winter Lake Tarpon Fishing 3

I had the pleasure of fishing with Jake and his good friends. They were traveling from Indiana on vacation searching for some warmer weather. Unfortunately, they brought down some cooler weather with them. Windy and cloudy conditions did not make for the best fishing conditions, but I made it happen.

During times like this, the largemouth bass finds a structure that will keep them warm. Generally, thick vegetation will retain heat to help them stay warm. Also, docks are a great place to retain heat. On this fishing trip, a mix of grass and docks helped put bass in the boat.

Jake and his good friends had a blast catching largemouth bass all trip long. They caught over 10 fish with the biggest weighing close to 3 pounds. Most of the fish were caught on live bait with a mix of artificial baits in between.

I am looking forward to showing Jake and his friends another amazing fishing trip in the near future!” – Captain Bill Goudy Jr

Second Trip with Captain Bill shortly after first:

I had the pleasure of fishing with Mike and Brian. They were traveling from Illinois looking to cash in on some freshwater fishing while visiting the west coast of Florida.

Lake Tarpon is an exceptional destination to catch big bass while visiting Tampa, FL. Within minutes, you can be catching some beautiful fish. Mike and Brian hooked into some quality largemouth bass. Live bait was yet again the most productive bait to reel this nice fish in.

The biggest fish of the day was a 5-pound largemouth bass. They also caught several 3-4 pound bass as well. Every trip can yield to you the fishing that you are after. You just never know what will happen on a Florida bass fishing trip.

Cloudy and breezy conditions with cool temperatures did not get the bass fired up, but it did make Mike and Brian excited to get back out on the water soon. Once the weather is warm, they want to come back to catch more bass.

I am looking forward to our next adventure!”
