Fishing in Florida will be one of the priorities for some tourists. There are a lot of lakes with a variety of fishes in Florida so choosing the right one will be a tough task but assured to be a great experience.

1. Fish Your Way in Florida
As soon as you decide to go on a fishing vacation to Florida, the land of big bass
and warm weather, you should think of ways and means of making your trip both
enjoyable and rewarding. Even before you leave on your fishing expedition, you
should set realistic fishing goals based on the duration of your vacation.
The pet ambition of the majority of bass fishermen who visit Florida is to
accomplish the ever-elusive goal of catching a bass over ten pounds. You must
remember that this can not be your goal as it is not feasible to fish for a bass
spending eight hours at the water front.
Your decision to travel to the waters of Florida is indeed a right decision, but do
not forget your primary aim should be only to thoroughly enjoy fishing and not
feel frustrated unable to achieve some impossible targets. Central Florida is very
renowned for its great bass fishing area. There are some of the finest large-
mouthed bass lakes found in Florida.

2. Choosing the lake to fish in Florida is quite difficult but the Florida Game and
Fish commission releases every year a list of the top ten bass lakes and you
should find this list helpful. This list is prepared taking into account both shock
surveys and creel counts as reported by fishermen during creel surveys.

Please remember it may not be prudent to go fishing in Florida without the aid of
a Guide. Once you have identified the right Guide, you should know from him
what baits are currently working and what to carry with you. In fact, the baits
that work well in Florida are only a handful and some Guides may even supply
baits and tackle. Make it a point to inquire about fishing licenses as the law in
Florida enjoins all non-residents to carry a fishing license.
