A little sunshine
Nice sunshine bass. They are one of my favorite freshwater fish to catch in South Florida.

Favorite water you've fished.
Good subject. I am a multi species fisherman who enjoys to travel to fish so I do not have 1 specific location as my favorite place to fish. I have a lifetime ahead of me so I plan on traveling the world to catch the fish on my bucket list.

Future's In Your Hands ~
Good subject and I agree that its a good idea to release most if not all smallmouth bass, especially the state citation sized ones. I have released every single smallmouth bass I have caught and will continue to release every smallmouth bass I catch on my vacations.

Small mouth bass and peacock bass diminishing...
The asian citrus psyllid is well known for spreading this nasty disease. I went to Home Depot recently and the citrus they where selling was loaded with asian citrus psyllids and many of the plants showed signs of greening. There is no cure for greening and this disease is can kill a citrus tree in less than 6 years of being infected.

Small mouth bass and peacock bass diminishing...
There are no smallmouth bass in Florida and the closest fish we have to smallmouth bass are Suwannee bass and Shoal bass which are located in some rivers of North Florida. Smallmouth bass where stocked in some Northern Florida rivers( Chipola river) in the early 1900's but they did not successfully reproduce and died out. There are smallmouth bass in Northern Georgia and South Carolina, which is the closest smallmouth bass waters to Florida. The peacock bass population is doing exceptionally well in South Florida with lots of +6 pound peacock bass caught every year by many South Florida fishermen ( I am included in this group). The bullseye snakehead are not having much of a effect on bass populations and baby snakehead are prey for peacock bass and largemouth bass. In fact I catch more largemouth bass and peacock bass while fishing for bullseye snakehead than I do catch snakeheads and I am specifically targeting snakehead when I fish that part of the state. The island of Oahu of Hawaii has largemouth bass, peacock bass, and smallmouth bass and people are known for catching all 3 in the same day. There are also other introduced species of freshwater fish to catch.

Fishing line for night vs day
I fish the same line I use during the day that I use during the night and I do well during both times in the day.

Scouting
Yes I do lots of research when it comes to fishing locations and it has helped me find many locations loaded with big bass that I catch.

Waiting for a Good Report
I don't rely on other peoples reports to decide if I go fishing or not. Instead I go fishing whenever I want since I know I am going to have a good time. Besides being in the outdoors is great and beats being indoors.

Bedded bass at night!
There are lots of highly skilled bass fishermen in Florida that don't reveal all their techniques or where they fish, and I don't blame them one bit.
