Florida Member needs assist. What gives w/the fish can't get
the dang things to bite. I took my wife out this morning hoping to get the early bite at Floral City, I wanted to go to Rainbow/Withlacoochee but my "partner" wanted to dawdle. I was advised that Sun. she will get up early so maybe I/we can catch a dang fish. I've been very patient and was dragging C-Rigs, weedless T-Rig worms, wacky rigging the Special Senkos I scored, swim jigs, spinnerbaits, crankbaits et al, to no avail. My "partner" threw both my tackle boxes and hers, again, to no avail. What gives?
In 1985-87 the fish in Ca. were biting like crazy and it spoiled me I guess. The only bites I've had was a rather large alligator and one of those turtles with the long, leather type neck that make a weird noise when they hit a fluke or maybe the hook in the fluke.
Ive read a hundred articles in recent BASS mags, done research re: summer angling and still nada/de nada, which kinda wrecks it for me...
About 2 weeks ago I read that if 'you' are casting towards the bank. 90% of the fish are behind you which I'm hip and haven't fished until I flipped both a jig and Jackall plastic in the shade today. The other day at lake Henderson the water was 91º so I went to the deepest part of the lake and again ZIPPO.
Any help would be great and I'd be obliged...
P.S. I don't hunt anymore so that is out and even when I don't go out in my wife's Triton, I run my golf cart over to my buddies and fish in his backyard.... you guessed it a handful of sh¡t... Thanks

floral city is difficult , really don't have advice for there except the pad area by bridge.. hernando.. stick baits and some swimsenko around the pads and in the pockets of pads..best hits come as the stick falls.. i fished it a good bit here lately in afternoons and there is no real pattern yet.. Good luck

Benny I was on Henderson today and I was throwing a trickworm, I had them holed up tight to the cypress trees. I was doing great till the trolling motor quit. In the past week I've caught a bunch of fish here on Henderson around the pads and in the cuts in the grass.
