Slow Down
This one is easy to say, but much harder to do. Slowing down is one of the biggest tips that anglers will get when they ask the bait shops questions about catching more and bigger bass. The first tip will most likely be to fish with shiners. After you do a couple shiner trips and you’re tired of using live baits, it is time to come back to the “slow down” tip.
The problem with slowing down is that if you’re fishing unproductive spots, you’re going to spend a lot of time not catching bass. If the bass are not in an aggressive mood and you’re fishing fast, you’re not going to catch too many bass either, so slowing down is usually a good tip most of the time when you’re fishing for Florida bass.
