The inshore fishing in South Florida might not be the best but if you know where to go the bass fishing is top notch. Friend of The New Angler, Mike Caprio, has been bitten by the largemouth bug. Here he is with a couple of his latest catches…

So as a regular working guy, who lives in a regular working world, on a regular working guy’s budget I always perk up when I see anything going on in the fishing/boat world that seems to be a reasonable deal.
