Cape Coral Bass

Finally, the bass in Cape Coral have started to grab worms. These are a couple of the smaller ones that took a dark green pencil worm









I released them all.

I used to fish that canal a lot a few years ago..one of the most consistent spots to catch bass.

I have started fishing the canals for bass because the wind was blowing too hard to be comfortable on the flats around Pine Island.

I fished the canals in NW Cape mostly and found bass everywhere. But last week I ventured much further into NE Cape and found lots of bass there also.

Most of the canal banks were so overgrown with brazilian pepper and brush that fishing access was not possible. But, recently the City or ? has scraped all brush off of streches of the banks. I can't see a real pattern to this brush clearing but it has made for nice fishing access from shore.

I need to get out tomorrow as we got a good hard rain and that should begin to cause some flow through the canals and culverts. Bass love outflow from a culvert as that attracts the minnows.

please send me a PM with the name of the road to take from Lowes and I will check that canal out

i have tried many of the canals that cross burnt store road

right now the bass are everywhere but they can turn off depending on a front or other factors

and the very large spotted tilapia are still on their beds - i just have not taken the time to experiment with bread dough or sim baits to catch them
