Bass Fishing Near Our Rental Apartments in Gainesville, Florida

Freshwater bass fishing is one of Central Florida’s most enjoyable pastimes with Largemouth, Spotted, Shoal, White, Striped, and many other varieties waiting to be caught in our many lakes, rivers, and swamps. With plenty of bass living close by the Bellamay Grand apartments, it’s worth learning how to catch these tasty and hard-fighting fish.

Understanding how bass live is an important first step to catching them. Bass begin their lives in shallow waters close to shore, and eat mainly insects, crustaceans, worms, and small baitfish. As they get older, they venture into deeper waters and begin eating almost exclusively larger baitfish. To catch these popular game fish, it’s advisable to use smaller bait, worms, and frogs closer to shore and crank baits, spinners, and other larger tackle when further out. You’re most likely to find bass near logs, submerged structures, lily pads, reeds, and other places where their natural camouflage helps them blend in.
