Come along for an awesome day of bass fishing on the Kissimmee Chain in Florida! We’re targeting post spawn bass with plastic worms and its one of those special days where all the fish are biting! Shaky heads, senkos, speed worms, paddle tail worms, and chatterbaits are all getting the right bites!
Florida can be intimidating if you’ve never spent time there. Endless water, all of it looks good but only a few places hold the majority of the fish. Thankfully the post spawn instantly levels the playing field just like it does in every other part of the country. Bass begin pulling to outside structure and isolated cover. You no longer worry about the endless maze in the shallows, instead you target the outer grass edges and breaks looking for a BIG bite.
Today we caught fish on a variety of baits. We got a few reaction bites but the majority came on soft plastics. Below you’ll find links to all the different baits these fish fell for, including the exact colors, and rigging. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
