Sorry guys, but im a sucker when it comes to beating a dead horse.

I know about the issue of catchability of Fla LMB. I have also heard from some that have Fla LMB that the use of live bait greatly reduces this problem. I would like to hear from others that have Fla lmb, and their opinion of lmb on live bait. As the time comes closer for me to pick the bass for my new pond the idea for 5-6lb "catchable" bass is growing on me over the idea of 10+lb fish that are "uncatchable", trained, resistant, or whatever you wanna call it.

I accept the idea that Fla lmb of all sizes are more weary of what they eat, and the bigger any bass is, the pickier it becomes.

I have never used live bait for LMB but have no problem with it, if the fish will bite. Those of you that have, would you be will to let us in on your secrets.

So, does the use of live bait for Fla lmb, in your experience yield enough catches per trip to the pond. I am looking for 1-3 fish per hour (only fish over 12in. qualify), with some nice BG catches thrown in. Does this sound possible with fla bass and live bait. Or in a pond thats half F1 half Fla.

Thanks, Jake.

Get out and fish.
