That being said I encourage any of you who have been contemplating a guided fishing trip to go ahead and book your date now. I still have a number of available days for you and yours to get out there and catch some nice bass. Florida winter weather is upon us but for most of you that means NICE. The arrival of cold fronts have brought the water temps down to the high 50's and those brisk and breezy bluebird days following the front can make the fishing a bit difficult. Nevertheless, it is still nicer here than most anywhere else in the country. The don't call it the Sunshine State for nothing you know.

Last week brought a mixed bag of fishing conditions. In general, I would sum it up as challenging. The cooler temps and NW winds tended to slow the bite and limit the fishable areas but as the temps warmed and wind direction changed the prespawn conditions improved. Wild shiner live bait seemed to be working best as I witnessed a number of good sized bass, 5lbs. and better fought to sumbission in the SE corner of the impoundment. Artificial bait catches were less active but a few fish did fall prey to plastic worms and the spinnerbait bite worked in the windier conditions. The baitfishes are plentiful and the bass are fattening in preparation for spawing so with some patience and a bit of favorable weather you will catch some nice fish.
I have high hopes for some double digit bass this year. A 10 in 10 so to speak and you can help me reach that goal, please contact me by e-mail dean@onecastaway.com to ask questions or arrange a date to fish. Best of luck to you in 2010 and I hope to see you at
the lake.
