I am also a mountian biker but in fl there really isn't mountians but anyway there is a trail near me that's only why to get in is on bike or walk but it's a 5-6 mile trip. I discovered it With some friends well they've been fishing an said they've caught 5-8 lb bass in the range of 2-3 minutes after dropping there shiners. I'm hitting the pits early 6:30-7 are those good time for bass?
alafia state park has some good bike trails, beginner to expert i believe. look them up. they have ponds to fish too.
Sun up and Sun down are always the best times for topwater action. :rockon
Early morning and late evenings is when the temperature should be about right but after about ten am forget it it's to damn hot
To damn hot for us to be standing out there for sure..lol... Ive done the go fishing from 5-9am come home do my daily duties an go back fishing arounf 5 in the afternoon lol..
Caught a couple nice 3-4 lbs had shiners but they died within the first 30 minutes being there changed to a watermelon crawdad an snagged a couple like that. FOr every 30 cast I have 2 bites an reeled in a fish tomorrow Im going again. ran out of the watermelon crawdads I guess there cheap made an are almost falling apart or Im just to green to know How to really hook them good. EIther or no more bait for bass will be bought ..
