The recent rain and wind have not stopped angler Major Thornton from finding fish to catch. Thornton, who grew up in South Florida, travels around the state in search of varieties of species during all times of the year.
 

“I try to fish as much as I can,” said Thornton, who has more than 171,000 followers on Instagram (@Major_gator95), 131,000 on TikTok and 31,000 followers on Facebook making fishing-related content and videos. “I wish I could fish every day. In the winter when it’s colder, I like to fish spillways where warmer water mixes with cold water. Seems there’s always fish there,” said Thornton. “Big jacks, big snook, tarpon. I like to throw deep-diving crank baits, rattletraps, deep-diving jerk baits or swim baits. Fish the bottom or mid-water, but go with an open mind.”
