Bass fishing was one of the top reasons people were tourists in Florida for nearly a century. This photo, from a 1963 Florida vacation guide, certainly booked many a hotel, charter service or boat rental. Of course, those getting to Florida to fish for those “wily bass” would quickly learn the pretty girl was not part of the tourist package.

The Florida guide book is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
