Recent rainfall, along with cooler temps, have the Largemouths biting. Over the past 3 weeks we’ve had a noticeable improvement in the numbers, as well as the size of Bass caught.

Saturday, 9/24, we caught and released several “keeper” Largemouths, including a 5 1/2 and 7 pounder. Typically the best time of day to fish Central Florida’s Ocklawaha River is early in the morning, although anytime is a good time to go fishing.

I expect the bite, as well as the size and number of fish, to improve as the days get shorter. We’re looking forward to another good spawn on the River, possibly before the year is out.

Until next time…see you on the Rivers!

The Bass bite has slowed over the last few weeks. You can blame it on a variety of reasons, but like someone once said, “It is what it is”!

Although we’ve yet to be skunked, the Largemouth bite has been weak. We’re getting hits on every bait, but they’re just not eating.

Occasionally we get a late summer spawn on the Ocklawaha River. When this happens the buck Bass go into their protect the bed mode, which would explain the behavior we’ve been seeing over the past few weeks. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Pictured below are two of our most recent clients showing off their catch.

Till next time…see you on the River!

The Largemouths are coming off the bed, and they’re hungry.

Recently the Bass bite has improved on every trip. Around the first of the month, the majority of fish caught were on the small side, 14 to 18 inches.

On our last few trips the numbers have definitely increased, as well as the size of fish. Just yesterday we caught and released a 7 and 5 pound largemouth!

Pictured below are several of our most recent clients showing off their catch, and like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Don’t miss the boat! Gotta get-em while their hot…

See You On The River

Good Luck

Sorry for the delayed report, but fortunately for good reason.”It’s our busy time of year”.

The Largemouth Bass bite has improved over the past few weeks .Although we’re not getting many fish over 6 pounds, the number of fish caught has improved.

Recently the a.m. bite has been best. Typically between 8 and 10 a.m..

This last cold front that passed thru last week slowed the bite, but I expect it to get back to normal this week.

Although the water level on the Ocklawaha River is very low, most of the snags and submerged obstructions were removed last week. As always, use caution when navigating any body of moving water.The snags and obstructions are constantly on the move.

See You On The River

Good Luck
