Jim, is it all lures down there or do they fish live bait for LMB? And do you need heavier gear for freshwater down there or is it the same as here?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

When you consider just how many waters hold largemouths compared to those that hold stripers, it's easy to see why stripers take a back seat.
Plus when you have very warm, consistantly warm temps, the warm weather and water will drive the stripers to deeper water, while largemouths are active in shallower water making them easier to target.
(not easier to catch, mind you, just easier to go after)
I can only imagine the quality of the bass down there, since they do grow faster and larger in warmer climates.
We dream of getting a 5-10 lb. largemouth up here, where they dream of getting a 10-15 lb. bass down there.

thats the truth. The winning sack at the weigh in I attended - 5 fish limit, was 30lb......with only 4 FISH!
One 11lb, one 8lb and one 6 and one 5....wtf! |
