I have lived in North Florida for 18 years.
I have come to the conclusion that the bass fishing here is dog poo at best.
The ONLY place I have heard good about is Feldmere, the lake is called headwaters.
Too far for me to drive but I have heard good things about the lake.
Anywhere else and you will most likely be disappointed.
I have been out several hundred time in 18 years and have about 20 bass under 1 pound to show for it.
I don't even buy a license anymore the bass fishing is so bad.
Good blugill, and cropie fishing, bass fishing is non existent, at least that's been my experience.
The closest I get to bass in Florida is youtube videos haha.
Good luck.
