Episode 12
Fun in the Florida Sun
Show Date: March 23, 2024
Location: Sarasota, Florida
This week, we're escaping the chill and venturing southward to Florida! Our excursion includes freshwater bass fishing and saltwater adventures in the Gulf of Mexico. Joining us is Matt Bichanich, our resident bass expert, as we put his angling skills to the test in this new locale.
On the first day, we navigated the serene waters of smaller inland lakes in pursuit of hefty Florida bass. However, it seemed the recent cold front had put a damper on their appetite, with only the male bass showing interest in our bait. Undeterred, we diligently worked the shorelines using Wac-O Worms and Kalin’s Tickle Shad paddle tails.
Day two presented an opportunity for exploration as we set out to sea, targeting waypoints in the saltwater domain. Our initial attempts near shore yielded smaller catches, prompting us to venture further out. As the wind subsided, our efforts were rewarded with more excitement. Back on land, reviewing the day's photos revealed surprises in our catch, adding an extra layer of intrigue to our expedition.
In hindsight, it was a delightful and rejuvenating couple of days spent on the water.
