Techniques That Land Lunkers

Top Catches This Season

While every day on the water is different, Tallahassee's lakes have been on fire lately. Anglers have been regularly boating 5-pounders, with some real trophies in the 8-10 pound range making appearances. Just last week, a father-son duo managed to land a personal best 9-pounder on a lipless crankbait - talk about a memory that'll last a lifetime! Whether you're after numbers or that one big bite, Captain Ethan will put you in the right spots to make it happen.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The star of the show, Florida-strain largemouth are some of the biggest, baddest bass you'll ever tangle with. These fish grow fast and fight hard, thanks to the year-round growing season. They love to hang around vegetation, submerged timber, and drop-offs. In the cooler months, you might find them suspending in open water, chasing bait. The spawn typically kicks off in late winter/early spring, which can be prime time for sight fishing for true giants. Don't be surprised if you hook into a double-digit fish - it happens more often than you'd think in these waters!

Smallmouth Bass: While not as common as their largemouth cousins in these parts, smallmouth bass are still a prized catch in some of Tallahassee's rocky areas and deeper, cooler sections of the lakes. Known for their acrobatic fights, smallies love to hit moving baits like crankbaits and spinnerbaits. They tend to prefer clearer water and harder bottoms. While they might not reach the same sizes as largemouth, a 4-5 pound smallie will give you a run for your money on light tackle. The cooler months are often best for targeting these bronze bruisers.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish (though that's a big part of it). Fishing with Captain Ethan is like spending a day on the water with an old buddy who happens to know every nook and cranny of these lakes. He's got a way of making everyone feel comfortable, whether you're a complete novice or a tournament pro.

And let's be honest, the bragging rights that come with landing a Florida-sized bass don't hurt either!
