Florida everglades bass fishing guide John "king of the everglades" Pate.
Marc Meyerson just found out why John "King if the Everglades" Pate is widely regarded as the best bass fishing guides in the Florida Everglades. Especially Holiday Park.
On June 13th, 2011 John Pate used his 38 years experience to help Marc land a MONSTROUS nine pound largemouth bass at Holiday Park.
Marc is only 15 years old and and under Pate's tutelage caught the trophy fish most fishermen dream about their entire lives - but never actually see - much less hook into.
And Marc did it in only a handful of casts.
After catching the nine pounder - Marc landed trophy six and five pounders.
Mark caught the nine pound bass on one of John Pate's secret weapons for catching BIG bass - Tuscaroran Pro Lures "Cherokee Ripper." John taught Marc how to cast it just in to the lilly pads and pull it out slowly across top.
"When it comes to catching big bass - and I mean MONSTER bass in the eight, nine and ten plus pound category - there are only two things I use that CONSISTENTLY get's 'em.
One are my homemade baits. The ones I've been making and perfecting for decades out here in the florida everglades.
The other are Tuscarona Pro Lures.
Most people haven't heard about the incredible line of lures Tuscaron makes - and that's good because neither have the fish. The fish see senkos, crank baits, spinnerbaits, jigs, plastic worms etc. every single day. Big fish ignore them - that's how they got so big. They flat out ATTACK my home made and Tuscaronan baits."
Marc hand his father, Tim, had an incredible day fishing with master Florida everglades bass fishing guide, John Pate. And Marc was a natural born fisherman - absorbing everything Mr. Pate taught him like a sponge.
John Pate is a professional fisherman with 38 year experience winning tournaments and guiding in the Florida everglades. He specializes in bass fishing trip at Holiday park, sawgrass recreation, alligator alley and deep in the everglades flats.
