Pottsman21 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 What are your guys opinions on the best baits and colors to throw in Florida? I know this is a loaded question but I'm just looking for others opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiantaj Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 swim baits I've had luck here in central orlando include hudds in black back silver, green back silver. also blue gill imitations work well, got em coach is a cheaper one that produces well in bluegill or pumpkinseed. I've also had luck on the bull shooter 160 in ghost gill. really it just depends on the main forage of the lakes and ponds you fish.. you should just look for what matches the hatch well in your area.

floridaswimb8er Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) there are no calicos in fl., pretty sure that is a pacific thing. Bluegill, shad and herring imitators are a solid bet. I like Gan Craft Jointed Claws, GeeCrack Gills, Hudds and anything 3:16. I fish a lot of home made shad and herring baits that get crushed.

pondfisherman Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 real prey golden shiner colors I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmininfl Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Try anything in a Bluegill or a Golden shiner. I have a Golden Shiner from Melosh fishing lures. Unbelievable! Also, try fishing bridges, beaches and docks for Snook and Gag Grouper. Swimbait gear would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadinesmom Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Calico love triple trouts how would you even know what a calico likes? you are no where near where calicos live, and neither is the dude who posted. do you ever just for a single second think about what you're posting? evilcatfish, Sam_Glasgow_ and HopscotchMan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
