Warmer, He is coming down in Feb., which is the middle of winter here in Florida.
Sure, he can have a pretty successful day bass fishing but if a front moves in then he is going to be SCREWED. and I don't care who his guide is..
Fishing saltwater is only another option for him. Sailfish, kingfish, snook, trout and many other species are good fish to target this time of the year. He will have a better chance of catching a "bragging" size saltwater fish then he will a 13 pound bass.
13 pound fish aren't caught on a regular basis around here, bedding or not.
