Another great piece of info by Glen.  In south Florida it can be super frustrating this time of year, or a bonanza of fish.  We have a strange situation going on right now.

  

Okeechobee is super high right now which is opposite the norm for water management.  Water is coming in the lake from the Kissimmee River but for some reason there not allowing it to flow south.  I think there is just too much water to clean up, before it's release.  All man made problems!

 

The everglades right now are low, this puts a lot of fish in the canals and out of the drying up flats.  Water temps are close to 90*.  I agree with your bait selection for summer, especially the straight worms, plastic stickbaits, and I would include the zoom fluke.  Our problem is you get bit almost every cast, but not by bass, but Rock Bass, Oscars, Mayans, Jaguars, Shell Crackers, Blue Gill, Shad, and Gar.  If you can get past the bait fish, and exotics you may catch a bass deep and slow.  The bass are there, but so full of eating smaller fish they're not willing to go chase baits.  There are millions of smaller fish everywhere in these canals, chased out of the flats by dropping waters.  

 

Now things will change soon with the summer rains, when all this bass food moves back out into the thick flats, followed by the bass.  You can catch hundreds of junk fish, but the bass bite has been tough,  spotty, and short lived early and late.

 

I do agree on your bait section, it's spot on for summer.  Peacock are even harder to catch because their so full, although they do enjoy hitting baits even if they don't hold on to it for long.

Thanks again Glen!
