Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Lake City, Florida, is a prime location for chasing Largemouth Bass, with numerous lakes and rivers in the surrounding area. The Santa Fe River and Alligator Lake are popular choices. Spring and fall are the best times to target these fish, as they move into shallower waters to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on structure like lily pads, submerged logs, and docks. Local anglers often have success with plastic worms, crankbaits, and topwater lures. A key tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use natural-colored lures; if it's stained, opt for brighter colors. Be aware that Florida's weather can be unpredictable, so always check the forecast before heading out.
