Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The king of freshwater game fish, largemouth bass in Fellsmere can grow to trophy sizes. These bad boys are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. They love to hang around structure - fallen trees, underwater vegetation, and drop-offs are prime real estate for them. In Fellsmere, it's not unusual to hook into bass weighing 5 pounds or more, with some real monsters pushing the 10-pound mark. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but these fish bite year-round in Florida's warm climate. There's nothing quite like the heart-pounding moment when a big largemouth smashes your lure and makes the drag sing.

Smallmouth Bass: While less common than their largemouth cousins in Florida, smallmouth bass offer a different kind of excitement. These bronze battlers are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish you'll encounter in freshwater. They prefer cooler, more oxygenated waters, so we target them in specific areas of the lake. Smallmouth are known for their acrobatic leaps and dogged determination once hooked. They typically run smaller than largemouth, but a 3-4 pounder will give you a fight to remember. These fish are particularly active in the early morning and late evening, making our 4-hour trip perfect for targeting them during their prime feeding times.

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the kings of freshwater fishing here in Fellsmere. These green-backed bruisers average 2-5 pounds, but 10+ pounders aren't unheard of. You'll find them lurking around vegetation, fallen trees, and dock pilings in our warm, shallow waters. Spring and fall are prime times, but you can catch them year-round. Largemouths are famous for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs – when one slams your lure, you'll know it! They're also known for their huge mouths, which can easily inhale baits as big as your hand. Pitching soft plastics or worms to cover is a tried-and-true tactic, but topwater lures can provoke some heart-stopping blow-ups, especially early morning or late evening. One local trick: when the bite's tough, try a slow-rolled spinnerbait along weed edges. These fish can't resist the flash and vibration.

Smallmouth Bass belongs to the Sunfish family (Centrarchidae) and is a popular freshwater fish among anglers. Smallmouth Bass has a dark green or black color body, with vertical dark brown stripes that usually fade with age, and the color contrast may vary depending on the fish’s habitat. Their eyes are red or brown. They have two dorsal fins; the front one has 10 fin spines while the other has 10 to 15 soft rays.

Female Smallmouth bass are usually larger in size than males. The average size of smallmouth bass can be 18–20 inches. On average, they usually live only 5 to 6 years but can survive up to 15 years. Smallmouth bass found in lakes are larger than those found in streams and ponds. Females usually weigh from three to six pounds, while the males are around 2 pounds.

Smallmouth Bass Habitat

This bass species can be found in clear waters, such as ponds, lakes, and rivers. They prefer rubble and rocky bottoms. Smallmouth bass also prefer moderate temperatures, and they will swim deeper in the cooler water during summer.

Spawning

Smallmouth Bass spawn March-May when water temperatures reach between 59 and 64 degrees. The males build nests in the shallow waters of lakes and rivers. The nest is built building within 150 yards of where the male built his nest the previous year.

Diet

The Smallmouth Bass eats small fish, crayfish, and insects. They hide behind a fallen tree or a rock and attack when the prey is near.

Fishing Techniques - How to Catch Smallmouth Bass

A light breeze and calm waters are best suited to catch Smallmouth Bass. In spring and fall, they like to swim in open waters during bright days and warm temperatures. In summer, they swim deep under cooler water and are harder to find. It is best to fish for Smallmouth early morning or late evening.

Smallmouth bass are fighters. A spinning rod of light to medium action with a 6 to 10 pounds test line is recommended.

There are plenty of baits and lures that work successfully to catch these fish; insects, jigs, minnows, plugs, plastic worms, spoons and night crawlers. A favorite of anglers is to use spinning baits that when rigged weightless, can hang on top of the water. When the fish are in deeper water during the summer, use a rig with a weighted vertical drop hook.

Fly-fishing Smallmouth Bass is popular due to their abundance and strength. When you want to cast into deeper water, use a 6, 7 or 8 weight rod. This will be suitable for strong winds, landing larger fish, and a long cast. A longer rod, 81/2- to 9-foot, is good when you need accuracy for casting near shoreline structures or long-distance casting.

Is Smallmouth Bass Good to Eat

Smallmouth bass have a firm filet with a mild, yet distinct flavor that pairs perfectly with a variety of seasonings and cooking methods. So whether you prefer grilling, frying, or baking your catch, smallmouth bass is a tasty and versatile option that you won't want to miss out on. What's more, smallmouth bass are a healthy food option, as they are excellent sources of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids.

With any freshwater fish, you need to be mindful of the water you are fishing. Make sure if you are eating your catch, the water is clean and be aware that freshwater fish should always be cooked.
