I have a little jon boat with a 7.5 motor and a trolling motor I have fished the same lake for 3 years now and I have only caught a 5 lb largemouth I was wondering if I am doing something wrong It seems like there is nothing in the lake but I see massive head wakes and I throw from worms to big swimbaits any advice? I am wondering if it is a trail and error thing or it is my style of lure? I live in north FL

Geez...

You live in Florida, find a few different lakes.

I'm wondering if you're not detecting the strike on your worm. I've always had luck with spinnerbait in FLA.

 

Or maybe you should go to a different body of water like RW suggests?

 

Good luck. I'm sure you'll get some good advice here. ?

If you were fishing from a Skeeter or Ranger you would catch bigger fish.

Are you sure the massive wakes you're seeing are bass? Usually when I see a huge wake, that means I spooked a carp.

Yeah I’m no expert but when the fishing is tough and I get skunked a few times in a row at a particular lake I usually switch it up and go somewhere else.

yeah I don't get skunked I just don't catch the lb bass I want I catch three to four pounds every time but never a 7-8 pound.

yeah I am sure because the water is murky but not too murky so I can see them with my polarized glasses thank you
