Water levels are reaching yearly lows in the Florida Everglades, pushing a lot more bass into the main channels. Got out in the water by 6:30am and fished until 5:30pm. Although it looked like a front moved through and skies were blue with no clouds the entire day, fish were pretty active all day hitting topwater, swim baits, and fast moving lures all day long. Water temps at 6:30am were 67 degrees, rising to 70 degrees by noon. Main lures that produced the most hits were swimbaits such as Gambler Big EZ's and Reaction Innovation skinny dippers, the rapala #13 stickbait caught a nice fish on my 1st cast and kept catching consistently all day. Other lures that worked great were KVD flukes, Rover #98 topwater lures, and my buddy was killing them on Zoom trick worms with red flake (called Black Ruby).

Great day overall, catching probably 50 largemouth in total, including 2 in the 4lb range. March is typically the best month so conditions should get even better in the next 45 days! :party0045:
