The Florida Fishing Experts
Specializing in Florida Bass Fishing on all of the Florida Freshwater Lakes.

The freshwater fishing industry in a whole is in need and has been for some time. It stands fragmented, but in desperate need of conservation awareness, knowledge, support and most of all unity. We are all well aware of how hard it is the make a living these days, everyone works harder and longer. As we are also well aware of how much we all like and enjoy the Florida bass fishing options we have. So in times like these, it is vital each one of us in some way reaches out to support our local agencies, anglers and fisheries in some way.

Here at BASSonline we have made it part of our daily policy to be involved, support and develop the freshwater industry in Florida. You would think the pure fact that we and many others make our living in the industry it would be natural for everyone to do the same. Well, I am here to sadly remind you we stand almost alone in our thinking and actions. We gladly invite the thousand of fishing guides, marinas, tackle stores and lake users to include conservation in there daily business practices.

 We have now taken our commitment one giant step further in being instrumental in developing Florida’s first freshwater fishing coalition. The FLFFC.org was officially organized in early 2009 and has been in development stages for over 3 years with the start of a FWC stakeholder meeting in Orlando. Now with partners like Bass Pro Shops, Disney, B.A.S.S. and many other great organizations throughout Florida we can antiquely support the local and regional conservation groups like S.A.F.E.R., Save Rodman, SOS Lakes and others. At the same be politically active for the rights of each angler that fishes or uses the freshwater resources in Florida.

We have spent a lot of time telling you about who we are; now here are some of the features you will find in our new website. We want this Florida freshwater website to be informative, interactive and fun. What is easier then to check a calendar; find all your favorite tournament trails and fishing club tournaments schedules posted in one spot. Why go to four different sites for schedules, no more, see them all in one place!

Planning a fishing trip, club tournament...check first to see if the ramp is being used, if the ramp is closed or being repaired. Simply go to the calendar for that date and check the status.

One of other coolest feathers is the blog section, not only can you post fishing reports but also include your picture or video. Ask questions about a location you have never been to or share information with someone else that's never been there. Of coarse, access the hundreds of fishing reports from our professional pro staff.

There’s also a tournament section, where individual clubs and tournament trails of any size will be able to log-in and post there results and schedule FREE of charge. Just think, post your club events on the calendar so other clubs know you are using a certain ramp, know in advance how many clubs or tournaments are going to be on that body of water at the same day. It's also a great way for your club to get exposure for new recruits by being posted on our Florida clubs page.

Additionally there's an photo library were anyone once they have logged-in can post pictures of there daily catch. Also are able to search photos by lake and type of fish in the all new photo library, the largest collection of Florida largemouth and peacock bass fishing pictures anywhere!
