With this Front that made its way here Saturday night. The winds have kicked up to about 15mph. The bite has slowed down and bigger bass have pushed back into deeper water. My best luck has been at points and the mouths of canals were the water drops off deeper. LV500s and or any other type of lipess have been great at these points. The smaller fish are still shallow and having great luck throwing the Xzone Swammer in 309 Color. Paired that up with a Coolbaits underspin 1/4oz 3/0 hook has been the ticket. Slow rolling on the bottom. Both of these baits have been producing for me the last 2 days. Once this front passes I think the bass should start moving back shallow and feed more aggressive on bigger baits.

The water levels are super low but also super clear for here in SW FL. The last 2 weeks I been getting most of my action in the later afternoon. Mornings are still a bit chilly but heat up to the mid 80s by midday. The bass have been chasing bait back into canal points and going nuts. I had most of my luck on a Bone color popper. My personal favorite has been the Lobina Rio Rico. Its probably one of the only poppers you can walk the dog. It also extremely loud and make a ton of rucks. 2nd fav will be the popmax by megabass. Most of my big bass caught have already spawned are still sitting shallow. I think its because of the cooler mornings we been having. There is rain in next weeks forecast and we can surely use it, As the water levels rise i think most of these bass will go back into there typical summer patters. Deep and under heavy cover. But for now enjoy the fishing because its hott!
