    It’s tuff out there this time of the year especially bank fishing. I’ve been fishing out there for years and this time of the year most tournaments are won on drops and brush piles

    Brian,
    This time of year you have to go find them deep there. Another deal is to find the creek mouth on the NE corner of Little and look for the water to be flowing, you can get them there, you need stick time out there and patience.

    Since I do not fish it much I do not spend a lot of time offshore. However, head into big lake and pitch/flip all day. In several places the Kissimmee grass is in 8 feet of water. I can assure you plenty of bass stay in that grass. It gets old and tiring but that is what I do. If you do it long enough picking it apart you will catch fish all year long.

    Next time out, put your back to the cane grass and start slinging a carolina rig as far as you can.

    Do some graphing off shore and look for brush piles. We have caught them there using rattletraps, carolina rigs and speedworms. I agree this time of year 8-10 ft will be better. We fished the canal on little santa fe and caught a bunch of dinks.
