FL strain bass after they reach a certain size are very difficult to catch, that is why when you come to FL and fish with a guide 90% of them use shiners. Alot of the biggest bass I have caught here in FL have came from night fishing when they can not see the lure in detail. On the other side of things when I have taken trips to MN I have caught large mouth in the middle of the day on frogs one after the other. Could be due to there aggressiveness or due to the fact they are not as pressured as they are in other parts of the country.
