Fishing Sebring, FL in the Spring


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
March 80° / 55°
April 84° / 59°
May 89° / 65°

In the spring, the fishing is very good here on the area lakes.  Anglers still have a shot to target some spawning bass in March, however, most of the spawning occurs in January and February.  Throughout most of the spring, the bite will be very good with anglers catching a lot of bass on artificial lures and live shiners.


Fishing Sebring, FL in the Summer


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
June 91° / 71°
July 92° / 72°
August 92° / 73°

In the summer, the hot weather makes the bite a little tougher.  Most anglers will still do well early in the morning and in the evening.  When the bass are sluggish, you may have to fish with live shiners to get some of the bigger bass to bite.  The summer brings hot weather, a lot of humidity and many days with rain, so your fishing windows are smaller than during the winter and early spring months.


Fishing Sebring, FL in the Fall


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
September 90° / 71°
October 86° / 65°
November 79° / 57°

The fall can be very good for fishing.  Cooler weather makes fishing more comfortable for most anglers and the bite windows seem to be longer throughout the day especially if you’re fishing with live shiners.  On many of the lakes with good populations of shad, you will see a lot more schooling bass feeding on large schools of shad in the fall.  Hit it right and you may catch a limit of quality largemouth bass in the first hour of daylight.  The bite will last longer throughout the day, but early morning and evening are still best.  It is still hurricane season though, so keep an eye out on that before planning a trip here in the fall.


Fishing Sebring, FL in the Winter


Month Avg. Air Temps °F (Hi/Lo)
December 75° / 52°
January 72° / 47°
February 76° / 51°

The winter is prime time largemouth bass fishing down in Florida and this area is no different.  Anglers do well with good numbers of bass and some very big bass as well.  As you get into the month of February, you can start seeing a lot of bass move up onto the beds as well.  February is usually the best month for catching big largemouth bass, so plan your trips accordingly.  The winter is also a good time for panfish such as bluegill, shell cracker, other sunfish and crappie.  For huge bass, there is no substitution for live shiners fished near cover.
