In response to the request for more people to share patterns, I thought I'd post a few baitfish patterns I've been tying to use this winter and next spring. they are all tied with faux fur that I get from Etsy. My wife and I recently moved from central Georgia where we lived on a beautiful 50-acre lake loaded with bass and very nice Bluegill. We now live in central Florida on a 100-acre lake that has lots of BIG bass, as well as Bluegill, Tilapia and Gar. I have a lot to learn about fishing this lake. Like most lakes in central Florida, it was originally a Phosphate mine so it varies in depth from 2 feet to about 35 feet at the deepest. I've managed to catch a few nice bass from the shore in our back yard, but I have yet to take the kayak out. This is the view out of our Lanai (aka screened patio).
