Keep in mind fishing isn't just about throwing a line out in the water and waiting. There are procedures and laws that need to be followed as well. Here are some important things to remember when fishing bass in Florida.

• Boats need to be fully stocked with all U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment as well as a cell phone for emergencies.
• Always pay attention to the weather. If a storm comes up or there is lightening in the area leave the water as soon as possible.
• Serious bass fishers are out there in the early morning or evening because fish are more active in cooler temperatures.
• Remember that live or artificial bait work equally well in attracting fish and that when feeding, they are less alert, more apt to grab the bait because they will be hungry.
• Always bring extra rods and reels, you never know if you'll need them or not.

Remember, guide services are available if you need them and they can easily be found on the internet.

Some things are common sense like remembering to bring a hat, sunglasses or sunscreen. The weather may be mostly temperate but it can get hot out on the water where there is no shade. Pack a meal or two as well and don't let a growling stomach distract you from the fun. 

Last and surely not least is don't forget a camera. You may want a picture of a certain spot so you can find it later, and when you pull up that monster fish you'll certainly want a picture of it for bragging rights!
