Thanks a lot guys. Like I said, I'm just visiting for now. However, I will be moving to Florida within the next two years! Happy fishing everyone! Maybe when I move out there with my boat, I can take some of you out with me on Okeechobee!

Alright guys I really appreciate all of your input! Im definitely going to hit Lakes Regional Park because it's only an 8 minute drive from where I'm staying! Is it worth it to rent a canoe or paddle boat or best from shore? Also, where should I fish specifically there? I know that the pond is around 250 acres, which isn't very big. However, 250 acres is enough to make finding a hot spot pretty tough! Any specfic locations on the pond that are good during beginning of March? I am aware that most bass are post spawn by the time March comes. One of you mentioned using soft plastics and crank baits. Anything else work really well that time of year? I'll probably stick to shallow diving cranks and craw immitations and weightless worms. I may even take a few of you up on your offer and try for snook and reds, I'll also hit the ocean with shrimp on a hook from the shore (I heard that can be fun this time of year but mainly sticking to bass fishing). Thanks guys.

Thank you, I appreciate the advice. I will probably only fish a few days. Can i purchase day permits to fish there since I am not a state resident of Florida? I usually fish a lot of soft plastics (worms, craw fish immitations), drop shots, and cranks. What presentations will be hot during that time? Here in Utah, it's a lot of flippin/pitchin into trees and weeds. My favorite flip/pitch tech. is weightless senkos either wacky rigged or texas (depending on how heavy the cover is). thanks

Hello, I live in Utah and I bass fish. I am going to be visiting Fort Meyers, FL beginning of March. Won't have my boat, but will be bringing just a few rods and some baits. What ponds/lakes/reservoirs should I hit when I am there? I will be fishing from shore and know about Florida's reputation for big large mouth. Any tips would help. Thanks
