Florida Bass Club October (Bragging Rights Thread) 2024


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Ding... Ding.... Ding.... It's a new month and for many you know what that means!!! Another month to compete to be the "King/Queen (for our lady anglers) of the Hill" 

I want to give a big shout out to DeepDishPanda for winning last month's competition. This was his 4th consecutive win since the *** of this competition. He finished at 5 fish 103". Last month to say the least was one of the best competitions we have had. 

    ( Just in case this is foreign to many of you reading this thread for the first time, please consult this previous thread as a reference; http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/124323-florida-bass-club-september-tournament/page-1 )

 

Ok, let's get down to business. The tournament is officially open to new and previous competitors (Sorry, FL BR members only), entry is easy, just announce your intention on this thread that your "in". I will take care of the rest. All you have to do is catch, measure, and photograph your fish. Just like last time, you have until Saturday Oct 5, til 11:59pm to announce your intention. After that, you can follow us, post pics if you want, but your catch's or bragging will not count. We still luv ya, though. ;)

 

Question to the previous participants: Should we have minimum size limits? Let say 12" ? Let us know, we will talk about it, and then maybe include it in the rules.

 

Lastly, let's keep this fun, fair, and clean. Remember at the end of the day, its JUST FOR FUN!!! ;)

 

Best of luck to everyone, and DeepDish your reign ends this month!!! ;)

 

 

 

 

Lastly, Lastly,..... "I'm in"

Lou you are right it is I'm in for the month but I am stepping aside... I may sit back and try to be the ninja this month lol

I am in, hope to keep in the top 5. Tomorrow my assault on the king of the ant hill begins.

Look forward to competing with yall again!


fishing user avatarzack d reply : 

Count me in! I had a great time last month.


fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

Lou and other what would you think about this.

Last month how it was close say me and tightlinesjax tied. Im sure we can go back and then factor in 1/4", I mean I know I may have had fish not totally lined up and estimate and he had that one 21" that I felt was longer because how the fish was positioned. We could do a fish off. The two could set up a time and do the biggest fish that day wins. I think that would be pretty cool and interesting in the event of a tie I don't know what you guys think


fishing user avatarDynoMyte reply :

Congrats to DEEPdish Panda on the win last month.

 

Good luck to all this months participants!

That would definitely make for an exciting "playoff",but i imagine it might be hard to get the same time to fish on the same day for you( ;) ) and whomever to have that fish-off.

Other than that i think it would be really cool.

Yea I was thinking the same thing about the same time factor. So it would probably have to be the week and take pics of what you catch then do a top 3 or something like that. But I just thought it would be interestingly and fun to see in the event of a tie

Hey AK,

 

I'm from Downtown (next to Ivanhoe). UCF has some nice ponds. Next time you're there check out the two ponds right behind Brighthouse Stadium. I can guarantee there are at least 2 +10lb bass in there. 


fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

I'm going out tonight for a hour before it gets dark. As a matter of fact I am going to get my baitcaster clear of the birds best and get it spooled back up I may dedicate this month to getting down the baitcast that will be a nice little challenge for me I can feel I may be doing a lot of ranting on here though

Sorry in advance for my future rants and questions to all you BC users

When your right, your right MCS. However, I still say AK would not have lost so many fish if he was using a B/C.

We shall see Lou I am using this month to practice with the BC. Made my mind and going to get me a Pflueger Patriarch spinning reel, liked my old Pflueger so getting another one.  But majority of my fishing will be on the revo BC and if I get a nest I cant get out I will get my spinning combo out the car


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

The day is not over, and we are all ready at 12 participants and we still have previous contestants who have not reported in.  PLEASE NOTE: If you declared you were in for this month on last month's thread pls check in again on this present thread so I do not have to be looking for you, and leave you out by mistake.

 

I wanted to welcome some of the new names that we have on here so far. I am excited for this month already. Trash talk has started, people are excited, its going to be fun. Oh! BTW, 1234567, do you prefer that name or is there something else you would like to use? Is using 1-7 ok?

AK, I bet you, if you find yourself losing at any point, which will be soon btw ;) you will dump the B/C and go back into your comfort zone. Just saying....

Dsidle LOL, I was looking for you. I got you buddy.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Did you guys know we are being followed my several people who not from FL. They enjoy what we got going on. Heck, another part of the country as their own competition going, up in the NE, moderated my NEjitterbug. All this, because a small group of guys decided to do something fun and different for a change. WTG guys!! I am proud to be part of this group.


fishing user avatarJaxBasser reply :

Couldn't get this fish to keep his mouth closed. Do I count where his bottom lip goes or the top. Big difference there.

fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Nice fish Jaxbasser! Too bad for the snake though. I know people have different views/beliefs of snakes, how about we don't post pics of dead creatures.  However, going back to fishing, if it was my fish I would lean toward the 17.5" sometimes fish do not cooperate and they don't keep their mouths closed. I will leave it up to the advisory board lol, to make that call. We are not to nit picky over here. Way to break the ice!!!


fishing user avatarJaxBasser reply : 

I'll go with 17.5 then lol. 

 

I'll get rid of the snake pic, sorry about that.

 

I missed another fish that was at least that big. Was picking a bird nest out of my line and when I went to reel back in the fish was on the line. Jumped and shook the hook because I never got a good set on him.

It's all good JaxBasser. I put you down for 17.5, you might find this entertaining. My wife and I were having this discussion on your fish and she said, she would have given you 18" because the tale of your fish was off the tip of the measuring tape. All I can say is do the best you can, with what's going on.

Yea but with that guy from Maine we don't stand a chance!!! His smallest fish was like 21" only a few of us had 21" fish in the history of our FL comp.

Jax 26

Ak 25

Ak 24

Ak 23

Lou 22

Lou 21

Jax 20

Then total the 15 up and match it up against your crew's 15?

It was a water moccasin, a big one. I killed it with a stick, mainly because it had one of my frog hooks stuck in it. I also don't mind one less of those where I bank fish.

I will leave any other kind of snake alone. I really hate those though. I have a few bad experiences with them.

Correct... Technically one person could catch all 15, or 15 different people could each catch one of the 15...

So the snake went after your frog and got hooked lol. Yea man I agree I don't like water moccasins the more dead the better! Fortunately I only see snakes at one spot that I fish at.

My best spot is at a closed down golf course and the grass in some spots is taller than me. Freaks me out walking through that stuff knowing those things are there lol

Tightlines welcome back, I have you down. Shanksmare welcome aboard. This innocent tourney will change the way you fish. For the better of course.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

BTW, what did you guys think of a 12" slot minimum? As far as  competing with NE group goes, its simply compiling the biggest 15 vs their 15 for the month of October. No biggie, seems easy enough to do. I am curious though why 15?


fishing user avatarzack d reply : 

I like the 12" minimum. I had one 12" last month(i was able to cull it) and almost felt bad counting it towards my 5.


fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

I don't think a minimum is necessary this isn't the bass masters tournament lol

This is fun no stipulations except measure the fish and have fun.

You're right, it was passing thought. My minimum is actually a higher number, just because I know what you guys bring to the table by the end of the month. But I agree, once people see what the avg length is, the majority will use that length as their minimum.


fishing user avatarDiggy reply : 

Well since there's no min, my recent 5 fish length is at about 20 inches :occasion5:

Cool, when you have a chance upload the pics with the measurements and I will put you up on the board for 24". This weather messed me up today. I will not be able to hit the water til at least Fri.


fishing user avatarDynoMyte reply : 

I was about to stop for a few minutes on the way home from work today. No fish started to rain so I left.

Glad you guys decided to axe the 12" min. I like the simple rules of measure/pic. Because it is what I would do anyway if (big if) I caught a fish.

Seems to be my luck lately last few trips been skunked Not even a snakehead.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

I would also like to take this time to welcome aboard fishingator. She is our first lady bass angler, to join our competition.


fishing user avatardsidle61 reply : 

Alright im on the board!  Was out for about an hour this evening w the frogs, got this one on the hollow body ribbit.  Had a relatively slow night though this fish was my only action all evening which was strange for this spot.  But a fish none the less and a good start with 18".

So I had a another pretty great day of fishing up here in North Florida, once again. Not only did I get ZERO bites, but I lost one of my setups somewhere on the lake. Fell out of the boat and I didnt even know. Revo STX on a Mojo Bass rod. 

 

Doesn't surprise me one bit. I cant get a break.

Oh sorry! One was a 5" wacky rigged senko in watermelon red and green I think and the second was a wacky rigged shim-e stick in smokey shad...which is what I caught the 6# on last month same spot :).

I'm not saying he is guilty or not but if you uploaded the wrong pic you would have said that. It wouldn't take someone else to go back and investigate and then you say oh I uploaded the wrong picture or someone else's did for me lol I dont think he said that you might have.

He probably spent all day today trying to catch a fish that matches that length lol. That was a smooth move using the same fish and take a picture one way on his homemade ruler and then flip it over take a pic the other way but he forgot to clean off the dirt so his boys caught him lol

I know that's hilarious though. See what I do is I have my pics on my phone. I take 2 pics me holding fish and one with measure. After I post the pics of the measure here I delete it off my phone so I don't have that problem.

But that's hilarious! By moving the fish and taking another picture that's intent those NE boys don't play lol

Ak, it does look pretty compelling, and it does look a little suspicious. Let's see how this plays out, and learn from their unfortunate experience. In the mean time, let the NE group sort through that issue, and let us focus on fishing.

Yea back to fishing any of you hear about some pro or something who got caught adding weight to the fish and winning tournaments? Not sure if he was a pro or some guy who entered a bunch and won and then got caught.

Local tourneys. He was banned from all clubs and tourneys in the area. He was stuffing the fish with sinkers. He got caught because the fish was coughing up lead weights while they were trying to weigh the fish. Dumb ass.

fishing user avatarDynoMyte reply : 

Sweet finally broke the dry spell, went out a lunch time and managed to catch one about 11". I took a pic of it next to my rod, will need to get a pic of the tape measure against the rod for verification. Caught on a watermelon green tuscaroran tpl needle worm 8" t-rigged weightless.

Sadly, this happens every once in while. I read story some time ago about an angler who caught his top 5 fish a day before his tournament started. The angler proceeded to leave the 5 fish well anchored on a stringer. His planned was foiled when another angler, happen to get snagged on this guys stringer, and he found the 5 fish. This angler told tournament officials, and they did a sting operation. The fish were placed back where they were found, and law enforcement waited the guy out for him to return. When he did, he got busted, and banned from all tournaments.

Got it on a Tequila Sunrise Power Worm with a 1/8oz tungsten weight. Wanted to try something today I haven't used in a while.

 

Caught some others on a speed worm but none were worth snapping picks of. Fish seemed really active though, they were nailing baitfish on the surface and around the banks.

Been slow up here in Jax (looking at jaxbassers apparently only slow on the west side of town)  went out this evening only had one miss and one dink.  went from senko to fluke to frog.  Only hits were on the frog.  Might give my spots a break tomorrow and get back at it this weekend if weather permits.

That's what I've been doing I've been rotating my spots. I've noticed that I have a lot of success doing this.


fishing user avatar---=Martin=--- reply : 

Today was the first time in 2 weeks I had time to fish ad the bite was absolutely on fire! I went to a canal near my house and I must have caught 15+ fish in 2 hours!

 

Lou, are we doing fractional inches? I'm at 16", 17", 17.5" and 18.5" I guess. Or round it down. I'm not sure how we're doing this (gotta squeeze every inch I can if I'm to win LOL :P)

 

I feel this will be the month things turn for the better! LgMouthGambler and I are hitting it early Sunday morning, hopefully I'll be able to cull some of my numbers :D

 

Oh yea... I don't want to hear one word about them being under 20" MCS!!!

Ha! I guess I am a ninja too. Next week I ll get my butt in gear. U like the flukestick? What did method worked best? Falling or jerking :P


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

I like the fluke stick, they didn't go crazy for it today, however I see that it can be productive when the timing is right. I twitched up top at varying speeds. The 17.5" was part of a wolf pack that was working the area, so he got there first and inhaled it. The little fork at the end of the bait gives it sort of a whipping action. Pretty cool. Around some grass/pads, deadly!!


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Martin I apologize, I did not give you any props on your catches. You beat your last month's score by 3.5 times already, and that's with only 4 fish. LOL. Nice to see you on the board early.

fishing user avatarRovingmutt reply : 

well i got out to tenoroc fish mgt area this morning from 6  to noon and got 6 fish, i caught all of them on a zoom white fluke, this was my first time taking pictures and i did poorly, so if any of these pics are not good enough i will be ok with that, i will let lou decide, i did get 2 really good ones a 20 inch and a fat 22 inch, the other were 16, 15, 14 and 12.

  i will post the pics as soon as i learn how to do it.

1st fish is 22 inch, 2nd fish is 20 inch
3rd fish was 16 inch
4th was 14 inch
5th was about 15 or 16 but it hard to see it in this pic
lou let me know if any of these pics are ok

fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Rovingmutt your pics are fine, you will get better over time. Some are more focused than others, but I am not going to nit pick, the sizes look legit. WTG!! Nice catches. I have your catches documented, and guess what? For now you are the leader at 87". Fstr is in 2nd with 85.5"  Martin in 3rd with 69". Nice numbers going into the month on day 5 guys/gals.

Shan, what were using to catch these guys on? What part of town?

on shore in pompano near my house. got there around 715 n left about 9. started slow with Okeechobee ocho`s, then noticed schools on the prowl and switched to a natural colored lil john. got a few strikes but most of the fish missed or didn't want it, so I put on a lil john spring craw and burned it and got a few more. If Id have had some of the right color frogs, I probably would have ripped some of them too. The fish are definatly schooling up and on the hunt now. Goin to try a new spot tomorrow down near dania... after the morning top water bite, Im going to burn everything. traps, spinners, jerks, and shallow bills and see if the numbers increase :D

Before I shut down for the night. I wanted to congratulate everyone who has started with strong numbers right off the bat. I agree with Martin, the field has been set to have a very competitive October. Who knows what tomorrow brings. I know Lgmouth and maybe Martin (if he behaved, LOL..) are going out on the boat tomorrow. Fstr is back in the fight, and you know surprises will happen there. AK.... well AK thinks he is going to be slick and surprise us at the end of the month with extraordinary numbers. TightlinesJax has yet to post, but that doesn't mean anything. He will post strong numbers. Are current leader Rovingmutt the new kid on the block is showing promise. It's anybody's tournament.

Oh BTW, I don't know if anyone was following but are field of participants has been locked at 20. No one stepped up for a last second entry. This month what I will post differently, will be the top anglers. Instead of the top 5, as per some of your request, I will post top 10. Also remember we recognize big fish for the month, so pls remember your scales. We do not play " what's your guess of this fish's weight" game. You forgot your scale and you caught a big fish, we will "ooh and ahh"  your catch but the recognition goes to the one who actually weighed their fish.

AK, you are 100% right that will take 100" + to win, and you posting your catches will help many of us to who are competing to know the "true" standings. You may have a logical explanation for not posting your catches, but what is the point of me doing top 5 or 10 if my numbers are not true, because someone decided to post at the very end. I know the rules never said that your catches had to be posted weekly, but when your talking 20 people, I think they will like to know where the rest of the field is. Just me knowing, that your close to 100" has already skewed my numbers. The number 1 person is not the real number 1. All joking aside, do you see where I am going with this.

Lou there is always an element of surprise this is a "friendly comp" remember that. I'm sure a bunch of people have caught 5 fish but may not be comfortable submitting them because they plan on getting bigger, that's how I am atleast

fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Well, Martin and I went out this morning for a run on the boat. New motor did well for us. I caught a bunch today, Martin didn't do too bad, he just had a tough time keeping them on the hook. Overall a nice morning out. I had one blow up, but missed the lure. I would guess it was close to 5-6#s. I caught my 5 biggest this morning on the spook. They were very slow to bite, and did more tracking than anything else. I think my numbers are around 82", will post pictures later on. They were bighting pretty good. Showed Martin what tournament fishing was like using 8 rigs, lol.


fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

Waiting on the 5th fish to post to get on the board. After that start knocking them off. I'm sure people catch more than 5 fish an outing should we post them all?

We have 3 weeks left 20 people this is going to be our best month so far and the fish activity is high

We went out around 7ish. I was only one throwing top water and got 3 but for most part it was slow, for frog anyway. Then went to a different spot and the top water bite was on from like 10 to 11:30.

I need to fish other top water baits than frogs in the AM. What type/brand spooks do you use?

Oh BTW, I don't know if anyone was following but are field of participants has been locked at 20. No one stepped up for a last second entry. This month what I will post differently, will be the top anglers. Instead of the top 5, as per some of your request, I will post top 10. Also remember we recognize big fish for the month, so pls remember your scales. We do not play " what's your guess of this fish's weight" game. You forgot your scale and you caught a big fish, we will "ooh and ahh"  your catch but the recognition goes to the one who actually weighed their fish. I will report tonight after everyone has posted there catches for the weekend. Good Luck to everyone, including you the "obvious ninja". :laugh5:

 

Looking forward to the top 10 gives me something to work towards knowing a goal. If AK don't wanna play then that is fine. I don't really count him anymore anyway LOL I play for second.

I got some nice starter fish I will upload tonight. I am out with my cousin teaching him how to fish his 3rd time out still has his training wheels.

MCS I have a feeling when you get out early morning you will tear them up. I think I noticed a pattern atleast the spots I'm at. Let me know how you fair when next time you go early, I can never wake up lol


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Jaxbasser, I put down 17 3/4 for the fourth fish. So your total will be 91.75. Good job. I will post totals later tonight.

Hey everyone!  We went out a few times this weekend.  We took the kids along too.  We've had better recently.  I have four to add.  I still am really terrible at taking these pics.  All of mine were caught on wacky rigged worms.  Watermelon red/green caught the last one.  I also used rootbeer and smokey shad.  I added some other pics for fun too as I had some nice scenery.

 

My 13.5", 12" and 14"

Man we went out today to a new spot... no bass!! Went to another spot and a decaying decapitated gator was in the only path to get in, so went to another spot a found but it was gated off, now in miami got in a spot I found off tye turnpike, get in and discover not a single minnow!! So went to a quary lake now to late after 10am where I used to go riding some trails and managed to get 3 fish totaling 2 lbs lol. Very very bad day!!!

Went out in the AM and finally found some fish worth posting.  Biggest  were 20", 18.5" and 16".  Hopefully I can get out this week and find some bigger ones.

well i got out to tenoroc fish mgt area this morning from 6  to noon and got 6 fish, i caught all of them on a zoom white fluke, this was my first time taking pictures and i did poorly, so if any of these pics are not good enough i will be ok with that, i will let lou decide, i did get 2 really good ones a 20 inch and a fat 22 inch, the other were 16, 15, 14 and 12.

  i will post the pics as soon as i learn how to do it.

1st fish is 22 inch, 2nd fish is 20 inch

3rd fish was 16 inch

4th was 14 inch

5th was about 15 or 16 but it hard to see it in this pic

lou let me know if any of these pics are ok

Great catches, all of you. I have a problem with this post however, first fish and last look to be the same fish, especially the shiny spot behind the gills. I would recommend full pics in the future...

Tight lines everyone!

 I agree with you it does look the same, i had so many pics and hard time keeping track,

Lou, i think i want to withdraw the last fish because i screwed up my pics etc, i think that it would not be fair to keep that in there, i do have more pics but they are a lot worse then these,  thanks for calling me on this,


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Heres the pics of yesterdays catches. I measured then had Martin shoot a pic to give you the image. Not too bad like I said before. Had company last night so I couldnt download then, but I wasnt too far off from what I thought I had. Ended up with 85.5". 2-17", 2-17.5", and one 16.5. Its had to tell on some of them the sizes when the tails are curled and jaws are lifted for the pics.

Hey man it's no big deal. You can keep your 1 or 2 fish whatever it was. If that one was the same by accident then you can keep the other it's no big deal we aren't The Bassmasters over here lol.

Dude don't sweat it. Shoot half of AK ;) or my fish you can't read the numbers on the pics. This comp means nothing man. It is just a means to share a few catches and talk technique, whats biting on what at what time where etc. You did good, I been out three times for a total of 3 hours and got zero to show. Just cuz a few of the NE guys are a little up tight about the rules and regs  :eyebrows:  don't get it all twisted because none of the folks in our comp are worried about it. We live in FL everyday is a vacation!...nice fish by the way.

Wait......are we talking about fishing? lol.  Here was the scenario: We got to the channel about day break. Started throwing the frogs (hollow) into the weeds and stuff. I didn't really notice any movement from the fish from that, so I decided to start throwing a buzzbait. I got a little action from fish, but noticed that they were just a little too slow, and they were more or less swatting it. While moving along I noticed the fish schooled up pretty good, but were very finicky. Once we reached the first off shoot canal, I reached for the spook rig. I got the fishes attention with that, and they were tracking it pretty hard, but very hesitant to attack. Once I figured out the cadence that made them just beat it up, it was all over from there.

Rovingmutt, don't sweat the pics. You provided pics with measurements, and that's all we ask for. Could there be a mix up with all the fishing action you had? Yes! Of course. In the near future when you get into them again, just take a full length pic and do the best you can on the focus. We are all good, and your numbers stay the same.

It's all about how you hold them. There was an article on Bassmasters I think last year, where this gentleman explains to you how to hold your fish to maximize the shot. Good read.

If you can find this article, I'd love to send it to my friend. I just try to hold the fish as close to my head as possible to give it scale. Nothing worse than people trying to punch the camera with the fish.

A Booyah Pad Crasher Jr. Brown/white belly. 7'MH rod, pro qual BPS baitcaster, and 30lb braid. The key with frogging is the initial presentation. If you can have that frog dangle from a tree branch or tall grass and then drop, you won't even have to reel before you get that bite. This one took it as soon as it touched the water (after dangling from the overhanging tree branch). Ivanhoe was surprisingly bigger than I thought and gorgeous. I wish we had more time, there were soo many great looking spots on that lake.

I use Booyah and Spros. Booyahs have better hook up ratios and are cheaper but tend to flip over when going over cover. Spros have better action, but are pricey and begin to take on water way faster. Both have caught me quality fish, so I'm not biased.

Them Central boys should be killing us in the comp. Better waters, cleaner and more abundant of baitfish. It shouldn't be much of a contest. Look at AK and his North territory, they are loaded up there. Most of the fishing down here is canal fishing, and if you can manage to get into the flats. The clean lakes are where its at.

This one in particular slammed it hard, like a baseball bat hitting the water. I've had a few 5-6 lbers vacuum the frog down without making a splash. Super eerie. One second your frog is floating, the other it's gone and your line is being pulled.

Florida Fish and Wildlife invest a lot of money and manpower developing these ecosystems. From the baitfish, all the way down to the sewage and irrigation that goes into the lake (to create an abundance of vegetation). I do miss living 10min from the everglades though. There are giants in there.

Just wait til the BPS goes up right next door to me and you FORGET ACADEMY when that happens lol

I was reading some things about it on sites and it is suppose to be one of the best BPS they ever built. They are having a huge lake that they will maintain, most likely pay to fish. You can also rent boats to fish there and they are holding tournaments!

It is suppose to be the 4th largest attraction in FL, I may have read or heard that wrong but if so this will be fishermen heaven.

MCS I plan on scoping out the place and when that lake goes up I am going to sneak on the property and fish out some monsters lol.

When this goes up I know where I will be every weekend lol

Supposed to be a 14 acre lake I believe...There is no agreement on paper yet between BPS and the County as far as I have heard, nor any plans in. Who knows. They need that exit finished first, and they are blow'n N goin on that but that is still a couple years away......As far as BPS goes, I dislike as I do with most stores, their limited selection.

Supposed to be a 14 acre lake I believe...There is no agreement on paper yet between BPS and the County as far as I have heard, nor any plans in. Who knows. They need that exit finished first, and they are blow'n N goin on that but that is still a couple years away......As far as BPS goes, I dislike as I do with most stores, their limited selection. All they are good for is Rods, line and hooks. Reels and plastics are better found elsewhere.

 

 

Yea I agree I never shop at BPS, there aren't any around, and online I use other places that have more selection. Most of the things I use BPS doesn't carry lol

lol I was thinking the same thing they wont have those rent a cop security that the Law School has lol

 

I was thinking when they get the OK to start digging and filling the pond that's when I will sneak in lol.  They are going to probably do that first to let the ecosystem grow and when they do I will be there whenever I can to introduce them to some frogs and worms. I can't imagine them guarding the lake while everything is being worked on. But hey BPS has the money to do that so who knows

You guys have found that BPS does not carry a lot of things? Each BPS is designed differently I think. For example I have 2 BPS roughly the same distance from me. The one in Doral, is a smaller BPS. Their trackerboat dealership seems larger than Dania's but the store itself is smaller, and selection is poor. The BPS in Dania, I feel has a lot more tackle selection however. I have a Dick's sporting goods in Pembroke Pines and they are ok at best. For me, BPS suits me just fine.

The one in Orlando is rather large. I still find myself ordering from ***. (Free shipping when you spend over $50!). They're usually at least $1-2 cheaper than BPS. 


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

I guess some online retailers do have more variety, but I am also fortunate enough that if I need something fast and important for a fishing trip, BPS is close enough to pick up rather than wait two days to a week. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Exactly the hooks I use for my frogs are $2 cheaper at TW than BPS. The only bass pro I've been to down here is the Orlando one it's huge.

You are right about carrying different products that are "region specific" if you will. Academy does that as well they have two stores on opposite ends of town and they carry different products for the most part the prices stay the same betwee stores. Only other spots besides local tackle shops would be Dicks. Depending on the location the selection is better IMO.

As far as selection and variety none of them come close to BPS. But like I said they carry my brands and BPS doesn't

Hey Mutt, I really like that. You should seal it so the water and slime coat of the fish doesn't get sucked in. Its bad enough we got people laying the fish in sand, rocks, and everything else that is going to cause harm to the fish eventually. Im just saying.

LOL that's why I love it when the kids go :D.  Tyler is 10 and can fish wacky rigged worms and he caught the last one on a swim bait.  He is a great caster.  Kayla is 8 just learned to cast and she usually fishes with a wacky rigged worm.  I think she may have tried a swim bait this weekend but didn't catch anything.


fishing user avatarJellyMan reply : 

I couple bites today on the swim bait and a few boils in the evening on the Rage toad but no hook sets. I had one, a solid 10lb plus fish go after a swim bait as soon as it hit the water like a beast but she missed it. I saw at least 25 inches of color turn on that thing when it hit the water.

 

I'm tellin you it's tough up here in G'ville! They just dont quite want it like they do in Orlando.


fishing user avatarDynoMyte reply : 

I got out for a bit after work yesterday then the rain started to get a little too heavy for my liking to keep fishing. Missed 2 bites during the maybe 45 mins I was out there.  While i was out there 3 kids/teens showed up and were buzzing frogs, said they were after snakeheads.  I didn't see them catch anything either, so I didn't feel to bad.

We have found a couple new spots to try locally but we have no time lol. I am hoping to get out Thursday. This weekend we are headed to Daytona Beach/Port Orange to lay some flooring for my parents and do some wedding chores so I want to work some time in but have NO idea where to go. Everything online is geared to saltwater. We saw a few potential places last month but who knows. I was kicking myself last month cause there was a nice spot behind our caterer's in Orlando but we had nothing on us. If anyone knows the area DB/PO please help a girl out :).

I went out last night, had to run to Walmart at 12am so I stopped by this pond up the street for 3 casts, I was tired lol. On my second cast I hook into something she felt big but I have caught smaller ones that felt like giants. I was feelin her in she stayed submerged and then I feel nothing. I reel in and thankfully it wasn't my knot and I got my hook back, only have couple left lost frog though. I cast out one last time then I left.

Was going to head out this morning but sleep always wins

In order for me to land them I had to pull them out of the water with the "swing" method. As long as they arent in sand and rocks, lol. The one that I caught when the sun was down actually spit the hook as soon as I got it out of the water. I jumped for it as if it was a fumbled football, lol.

Lol LMG! I had one like that recently. I caught a nice one fishing with the guys. I was around the corner from them. I got it on shore, it threw the hook and started immediately flopping its way back to the water. I swear it was slow motion noooooooo. They heard the commotion just in time to see me slide, fall flat on my butt and make the catch right at the waters edge lol.

 

Now that's funny, did you play football?? It's amazing the  things we do to land a fish. LOL.


fishing user avatardsidle61 reply : 

Im on a one week hiatus this week.  Im moving apartments this weekend so im using the week to pack/give my spots a little break.  Was so tempting to run out this evening w the over cast skys and off and on drizzle.  Ive had some of my best luck in this weather.  But hopefully i dont slide down to far and maybe the biggens will be woken back up after me not visiting for a few days.


fishing user avatarDynoMyte reply : 

I'm out till this weekend. Headed to St. Louis for work. I should be back at it on Saturday.

Rest assured I will still stalk this thread on my phone until I can get home and back into the fight. I'm setting my goal for tenth place this month. Gotta crawl before you can run with the big dogs.

And on a side note thanks for running the show BassinLou and everyone who posts/participates for making such a fun thread and competition

Weather has been crappy and the fishing has been crappy for me too.  All I can find are dinks.  I have one 17.5 to add to my total.

Went a couple weeks ago. Hoping to get out again soon.

So I finally got on the board this morning. Cold front low 60's and a 1/16 oz t-rigged centipede.

15" was all he was good for also landed a dink on this setup.

 

Switched to this xcalibur crank, kinda like a bomber fat free with the holo finish baby bass color, and threw that for a little. Land this nice bluegill it would be my PB by far and another dink before losing my pliers and looking around aimlessly wasting time. :Idontknow:

Did you find spots online or from BR members? Because if you are on the road that the speedway is on heading towards the beach. I'm not sure the road but it is like 3 lights past the speedway I think you make a right and go down you have to turn at another street and you will see a few nice spots.

I know these are HORRIBLE directions lol but if you have google earth and use it when you are on that road you will see what I am talking about.

That's what I did and there are a bunch of spots in Daytona Beach area in communities that you are allowed to fish

My trouble is I am shore bound and getting to the spots are time consuming in itself. LOL I know I need to make more of an effort, I was watching flats class last night, I want to get into anything, flounder, trout, reds...But I just have to tell the wife and kids I am going and ignore them for at least half a day....One of these days

That is why bass fishing is nice, I can be to some decent waters in less than 5 minutes.

MCS, think Bratislava! When I was growing up in commie Poland, getting a b-day card from my dad (who migrated to the USA in 1982) with $20 in it was like winning the lottery! I would have half the town following me wanting to see where I was going to spend it (google Pewex)! I was one of the 2 kids in the entire town to have a PC (386SX-25mhz) and the only kid in town with a real gameboy (early 90's)! When I saw that scene in EuroTrip when the hotel worker gets a nickle and declares he's quitting and starting his own hotel I nearly fell off my chair I was laughing so hard!!!! in the late 90's and early 2000's a dollar went really far in Poland! I enjoyed making money while in HS here in the states and then going to poland of summers and living like a king! Those were the good days!!!

The bigger ones in the ponds with bass are deffinitely harder to catch and I mostly catch them by accident. The law school had some big ones, so does that pond by the cemetery on race track. Never seen one this dark though.

Funny, I caught a Mayan Cichlid last night on the Flappin Shad. Mind you that I rig it with a 5/0 EWG hook, so the fact that it was able to get that big bait and hook in its mouth was pretty unbelievable to me. Them pan fish are mighty aggressive!

Lost a frog hook to a nice sized gator. Had no idea it was just hanging out in the pads didn't even see it til it took the frog. I not only lost my HOOK, down to only 2 maybe 3, as my last black frog but I lost a lot of braided line on my new reel (figures I only got 1 spool with line on it the other is still in the plastic lol)

That was my one and only bite since I only had my patriarch reel with me. I may go back out later but that means I need to go to OP to get me more frogs

Last time I went it was back in may or june and before that it was a long while ago.

All the way to the left closest to the road is weeded up but that side has limited access. So the pond is t really affected and since I've been fishing there I have only caught a few from the left and that's by casting parallel to the shore line. The rest of it is open the only thing is there's a lot of vegetation underwater but about 2-3 feet if that of water over it. These a lot of pockets surprisingly back then I was all soft worms I just started the frogs since I been on them. I had luck with magnum worms 10.5", senkos, trick, rage craws. I wasn't fishing u vibes back then but like I said they love the soft plastic out tere in trying to turn em on to the frog


fishing user avatar---=Martin=--- reply : 

Went out today and tried some lures LMG showed me last Sunday... Spook and Chug Bug, the bite was on, got 7-8 bass, but all dinks, maybe 3 or 4 were 15-16 inches. Good news is bite is getting better though!

On a side note,check out this pic of the world record bluegill.

Oh yeah ive got 2 bass so far a 16" and a 14",pics to come.

Have you heard anything about the BPS pond?  I got a message from someone on this site who saw my post and claimed to work for the FWC. He said that they stocked a pond close to the site that they will transfer the fish from there to the BPS one.  Not sure how accurate this is but he told me where it is only problem is getting to it, looks impossible until they start doing work.  Dave said his buddy mentioned something to him after I told him about it but IDK, this could all be fake since you said they were having problems getting the permits or something like that.

If u wanna do your homework AK permits and plans are all public record. If they are approved you can view the plans and track the progress. The one thing I am clueless on is location. It is most definitely in St. John's county.

That said look at the county line map as it cuts across racetrack. Now u been on 9b yet...couple ponds there that were constructed few years back. Also a pond on the substation off Phillips that is gated. Google earth it. That large property down Phillips has ponds past 9b and it also has a fwc office there, right as u turn left off racetrack onto Phillips

Yea I am going to do some research but the guy told me which pond it was its just impossible to get to it easily. I have to figured out a more indirect root to get there using google earth/maps or something

I doubt it, he probably did an order with Seibert outdoors. They have both been communicating a lot lately. It looks like Seibert has good stuff. Martin don't you have jigs from there.

I doubt that even if this location is found that anyone of us can just walk up to it and fish it. It's probably out in the middle of no where for a reason.

I have no plans to fish it, it is all private land either Jea, fdot or private party and that is a no go for me. I am more curious on the location and size of the development. I design these for a living trying to imagine the location, site access then earthwork is fun....for me. ;)

So where is it at? And I assume the stocked fish arent too big either, guess they are there get them to fatten up?

 

He said there are some big ones in there he just heard this he wasn't part of the stocking team. I'd imagine they put them there to fatten them up and get them acclimated to the area IDK. 

 

I won't have time to fish tonight so I may just drive out that way and try to figure out if there is a way back to it before it gets dark.  I wanted to try to get out there this weekend I will PM you if I have any success.

You've seen the spot its open land all dug up there is no private owner lol.  And besides the only way to get to it is through the site I think, so if you were to get back any other way there is no way you would be seen. Only if they have private security patrolling the 20 acre dirt field lol.

You should see S FL. Its full of people from up North, especially the Snow Birds. (Oh God, they  will be here soon). Oh, and don't get me started on the Canadians! Jeebus! Us regular Southern Boys are a rare breed down here. Im originally a Kentucky boy, I have seen drastic changes down here in the past 20 years. I loved going back up there during the Summer to stay with my Grandparents. Screw the Summers down here, dirtbikes and trail riding, horses, big Blue Cats, frog gigging, hunting, and just being able to do anything I want and not get arrested for it. I miss it soo much. At least the Bass fishing is better down here. All the problem people don't make it on the water, so at least I can escape them one way, lol.

I have noticed that they are very competition oriented also. There numbers are lower this month I think. I have had private conversations with other individuals from BR, that wish they had the same competition in there state. I think we are on to something here.... but I think, the main denominator in our group is that we have embraced this simple competition for what it is; a fun, interactive, competition that is really just for bragging and to have a genuine good time. Our group is the past time for so many other people, that this has become their soap opera. Pretty cool.

Yea I never fished frogs before until this competition came about. I saw what some people were catching and decided to try them out and never looked back since then.

 

I enjoy hearing everyones stories about how the caught em, how they lost or missed them, etc that's what makes our group fun.

ANother thing is a bunch of us have linked up from this site to fish together.

 

I've fished with 4 members from this site and plan on fishing with a few more in the future.  A guy PMed me that lives by my brother in Orlando and gave me his # to fish whenever I'm in Orlando.  He said he follows our competitions like Lou said its pretty cool seeing people who are not in our competition following along

After your first big strike, hit or miss, you will throw them with more confidence each time.. trust me.

You think thats bad. I have a S-10 with a camper top on the back. What you you think I did? Velcroed zipties to the ceiling of it to hang like loops so I can suspend my daily rig to it so its not in the way on the floor of the bed. Yeah, its about a $250 Super Duty/Carbonlite combo that is in there 24/7, but with it hanging from the roof, you cant even tell that its there.


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

I thought I would share this with you guys. I went to BPS today after work to pick up some 12# YoZuri line and some more Spooks, and I came across this. I have never noticed them before, but they happen to have them on an end cap, and I had to pick one up. Its a foldable plastic fish ruler. What I like about it is that its plastic, so it wont harm the slime coat. It folds in half to fit into my BassMember bag that I carry with me while I walk the banks. Also, its wide enough that I can lay a fish on it in the boat and not have to worry about having someone always take the picture for me. I only paid $6.99 for it, and it seems to be the meal ticket for me. It goes up to 24 1/2", so that should be enough length (or will it? lol). Spooled to Lews SD/Carbonlite combo with 12# YoZuri so that I can get back to using topwater baits with it, and am going to pound the banks with Martin tomorrow after work. I will let you guys know how this thing holds up and works out.

 

OK, this is not letting me upload these pics.

Alright Lou and LMG I picked up a booyah padcrasher jr in cricket frog.

 

Threw it from 5:45 til about 6:50 has three missed strikes all before 6 am.

waited a few seconds pulled in the slack and felt nothing. didn't even feel like they bumped the frog. But aint too worried I will get it down another time or two. It was fun tho see why yall like it.

 

But anyway me likes it, walks super easy and very good action. Do either of you trim the skirts?

 

Biggest complaint was wind knots in braid. I had 3 this morning and only one over the past month since I been using it. I assume it is the slack line reeling vs when I fish texas rig it is not so much. Any way to help eliminate this?

 

So LMG I saw u spooled with 12# yozuri to do topwater do you fish frogs with it? If I upped it to like 14 or 17# could I use it instead of braid? Why do you get 12, knots strength, it gets stiffer when you up dia?

Gave in on my week off, went out tonight for about an hour. Had two misses on my frog. Moved around and went to my previous hot spot for frogs and was without a hit again. My first maybe 3-4 times there it was on fire, now the past 3-4 times its like there isnt a single fish in the area. Cant quite figure it out. Starting to get nice and cool in the evenings here in jax. Havent fished a fall/winter in florida yet, up north when it got cooler fish would love the top waters.....would you guys say the same is the case here?? AK i saw you mentioned that youre gonna be moving to soft plastics, wasnt sure if the weather was the reason.

Yea weather has a little to do with it but it's mainly because I am gonna be carrying 2 rods so one for frog and the other for some sort of soft plastic. I got a few bags of stuff from BPS that I wanted to try out.

There is nothin you can do to prevent wind knots. The only thing is to spot them before they get too tight.

As far as the pad crushers people usually cut the legs (I have some of them and the live target and that's what I did I trimmed about an inch or less off)

Cool MCS, you got the frog and color you wanted. On top of that you some action, with misses but you got action. It happens. I usually trim an inch on each side of the skirt. I use braid for frogging although on one of my outfits that I carry, its spooled with 15 yozuri, my conclusion with frogging with that line is I find it has much more stretch and I lose more than I catch. With braid its the opposite.

I thought I would share this with you guys. I went to BPS today after work to pick up some 12# YoZuri line and some more Spooks, and I came across this. I have never noticed them before, but they happen to have them on an end cap, and I had to pick one up. Its a foldable plastic fish ruler. What I like about it is that its plastic, so it wont harm the slime coat. It folds in half to fit into my BassMember bag that I carry with me while I walk the banks. Also, its wide enough that I can lay a fish on it in the boat and not have to worry about having someone always take the picture for me. I only paid $6.99 for it, and it seems to be the meal ticket for me. It goes up to 24 1/2", so that should be enough length (or will it? lol). Spooled to Lews SD/Carbonlite combo with 12# YoZuri so that I can get back to using topwater baits with it, and am going to pound the banks with Martin tomorrow after work. I will let you guys know how this thing holds up and works out.

 

OK, this is not letting me upload these pics.

 

I like that ruler, which end cap was it on? Was it the BPS at Dania?

No, I don't use YoZuri for topwater exclusively. I use 17# Sufix Siege for my topwater rig. I just spooled by around town beater rig with 12# YoZuri so that when I want to throw topwater with it I can, since its the only rig I keep with me at all times in the car. It was spooled with 20# Fluoro, and wont work for topwater. The wind knots that you are experiencing is due to a few things. The Jr is a light frog, and if you don't have the reel properly tuned, you will end up with backlashes (for a baitcaster anyway). If you are throwing the frog on a spinning rig, wll then I cant help you there, because I don't touch that stuff, its bad for your health, lol. For frog fishing, never anything but braid, and try to run at least 50# for proper performance. Between the strong hookset and the fact that it floats, its just the proper thing. I do trim the legs about an inch, and on a diagonal cut as well.  As far as the # for YoZuri, 12 is the best all around that I have found to be able to use for  multiple bait presentations.

21.5 is fine. I was fishing t rigged ribbontails and got a few nibbles and a small one then seen a few bail fish boils and it was kinda overcast and getting dark so I threw a pearl chart fluke on skippin it on the cast and burning it on the surface and got it on the 3rd cast

Bad news is that even with this one he's 2 inches ahead of me!!! I think I'll go make a video about that...

 

M.

 

P.S. BTW, I started using some top water lures LMG showed me, got 2 today on a chug bug (he was using a Zara Spook and had a huge blowup on it but no fish hahaha sucks to be you LMG... also ask me how he hooked it on a tree branch across the canal and had to walk 1/4 mile to get it back LOL :P)! Oh what a fun lure it is! It takes certain skill to "walk it" and it's all that more rewarding when you catch something on it! The fish below was bleeding a bit because one of the treble hooks jabbed it on a side.

Me and czar went out for 4 hours got skunked. I threw the WHOLE tackle box lol.

They wanted nothing that I threw lol

fishing user avatarRovingmutt reply : 

I was able to get out to my favorite fish spot today, Tenoroc fish area, butterfly lake.

I was on the water at 6:00 and started  throwing a torpedo prop and a shatterbait and got nothing, changed to a white fluke throwing to the shallows with a slow retrieve, got nothing till about 8:00 , when i got my 1st fish, 20 1/2 in the boat, no skunk today, whoopee.

Keep working the fluke real slow and got 4 more,  8, 8, 13, 18 1/2,

then the bite shut down about 9:00

so i started looking around and went to another cove were i saw some schooling action, i hooked onto what felt like my best bass ever,  fought for what seemed like about 5 minutes, everytime it would see the boat it would make another run, but finally i felt the pop, lost it. crap, crap oh well thats fishing, grrr :dazed-7:

anyways keep chasing some schools and did get 4 more, 1 i got on a spook (Love topwater)

21, 18, 13, 16

so a good day fishing, :eyebrows: so hopefully i can catch up a little, next sat i can't go fishing, have to go to a training class for my work. :cry4:

so, lou i think i can cull the bottom 3 with the 21, 20 1/2, 18 1/2

i think my top 5 are 22, 20, 20 1/2, 21, 18 1/2 = 102 ?!!

I'm also very surprised by the good luck i'm having, i just started back fishing in march, and in july, aug and sept most of my fishing was really bad, 1 maybe 2 fish at most, and alot of skunked days, i only have 1 more day this month when i can get out

and improve the score, i think with cooler temps everyone will see more fish this month than last,

I would Appreciate THAT! I can use all the help I can get! I'm from O'Town so I'm having a time finding fish.

Mutt, let me put this in perspective. I agree there are many good anglers on here. The highest score someone has gotten, since the *** of this contest has been 103" you are at 102" 12 days into the comp. You still have an 18.5" to cull!! and; you live in Central FL. Your score has raised the bar high and fast my friend. So you have presented all of us with a great challenge.

 

BTW, I am really digging the measuring board you constructed.

I must correct myself, the numbers posted above are for our FL club numbers. There is another competition up north. TX again AK.

Day two skunked again in the AM I don't know what's up with these Jax fish past week or so. You know it's bad when I am out fishing right now with czar and Dave and I'm on my phone posting lmao

Atleast I got football at 1pm


fishing user avatarfishingator reply : 

We dragged ourselves out of bed this morning against better rational judgement lol. We went to the insider spot. It's an amazing spot but it was quite cool this morning and we only got little guys. I would go back there again for sure and it's nice to know there are bass in Daytona. The tip came from a landscaper who said he saw a bass eat a baby duckling before lol.

We stumbled upon another pond. We weren't catching but persistence paid off. We caught a few small guys and I got one 14.5" which with my numbers I could still probably use lol. My SO had a nice one on but he fought him all the way to shore but he was never actually hooked and he lost him at the bank.

Man what a day!

 

LMG and I brought in, conservatively, EIGHTY, that's 80, fish in the boat today!!! OMG it was absolutely on FIRE!!!!!!! I'll let him post the pics (since he hasn't emailed me them yet). Most of them were dinks, I got a few that were worth taking pics of, and he, well, he caught the monster of lake coral springs!!! Nothing I got today was over 16" so no new fish to enter...

Nice guys....I hope this monster LMG had wasn't over 25" so he could use his newer ruler lol


fishing user avatar---=Martin=--- reply : 

And yea, I did invent a new technique, Topwater-Swim-Senko LOL, I nailed a nice one while quickly bringing a senko back to the boat, one came up and nailed it! We started off with top water, I was throwing chug bug and LMG was using spook. I got my first 5 or so on the chug bug and then it went quiet, so I figured "what the h3ll! i'm throwing senko!" and nailed another 20-30 that way. After than we switched to lizards and for the next two hours we pulled a fish to the boat almost every minute!!! it was totally mind blowing!!! every second or third cast would produce a fish!!!

There was soo much excitement today on that water. Martin crushed them today, he couldnt say that he did catch any fish, because he caught more than half of them. Most of them ranging from 1-3 lbs, but great fun all day.

Man I had a rough weekend too. Got skunked Saturday morning was out for 5 hours or so I had no strikes on the frogs and I missed 3 on a senko. Sunday morning we went to Orange Park Country Club and when we first got there Dave had a big one on a frog but she came unhooked as he was going to take her out the water. After that Bass Czar had 2 missed strikes Dave had 2 and I didn't even get a nibble. We stayed and tried few other spots in Orange Park and Flemming Island with absolutely no activity. So me and Derrick headed to our spot and fished for few hours... Same thing! Finally after 6 hours or so of fishing I catch a 17" on a senko.

One fish in over 11 hours of fishing in a 48hr period lol it was frustrating. Fortunately my Eagles beat the Bucs so that was good

Think i picked a bad week to take off.  Im way on the outside looking in now.  I actually snuck out friday evening for about  1.5 hours and missed one on a senko and a pop-r.  Im on the same boat as AK, fish up here have just gone to sleep.  We took a pretty good drop in weather about a week or two ago and i thought it would wake the fish up especially on the topwaters but it seems the exact opposite.  Im gonna have to get back to my lizards, trick worms, senkos, and flukes more to see if it gets me a change.  Still wont be out again until wednesday at the earliest so barring a miracle i think this month im just shooting to get in the top 10!  great to see everyone pulling in some very nice fish.

Funny, I looking over the numbers both Rovingmutt and FSTR smallest fish are 18.5. This competition is far from over. I think at the current pace, a competition record might be set.

In true FSTR fashion he has jumped into second place with 101"!!!! Unbelievable FSTR. Your smallest fish to cull now is a 18.5" WTG!!

Which part of town did you catch those beauties? Canal or Lake?

Thanks Lou. A little private lake I go to sometimes about 10 minutes from my house. Usually try to go in the am, but never get time before work with the now dark mornings. I had to wait on call on site today and had all my gear from the major 15min session I had in the morning so figured what the heck. Huge schooling bass all over in the shallows still at 5pm. I had a senko on and noticed the smaller bass right at the shore chased it on retrieve so I went to a weighted worm which was the only thing I had and hopped it along the bottom and got quite a few bites and even a few snakeheads up to about 6lbs. The bite dropped of though once the sun went behind the trees. Hooefully its a repeat tomorrow.


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

So I sat here with all my stuff rerigging. Thinking about what I threw yesterday, and rigs I didnt have setup that I would have thrown. Apparently the game has stepped up this month. Its gonna take figuring out what the BIG girls want to nibble on. Its easy enough for me to make a trip to the BIG O and drop this comp, but I refuse to do that. There is a way to get some quality fish out of the systems we have down here to run with the N FL people and their better water systems. 100+ is going to be the way, Im thinking its gonna take 5 fish with an average of 23-25" to take this thing for this month. With the odd pattern that seemed to get the fish to bite yesterday leaves me to believe that this year is a little different than last year. I refuse to put down the power and throw the Senko, for that I would rather just throw live shiners, lol. Lou, to give you a heads up, the boat will be loaded with 8 rigs, and a bag full of crap. Sunday I need to pull at least 3 quality fish in the boat over 20", and am going to have to figure it out right away.


fishing user avatarMCS reply : 

See LMG aren't u glad Lou recruited you this is FUN! And as far as I recall the highest was the first month, June or July fstr had like 111( just to be clear I was #2 with 104") maybe AK has come close but I know we haven't been over 115, if you get 5 x 25 that would be CRAZY!!! And I think 5 x 25" would make Martin's head explode!!!! That wouldn't be good because we would have no videos so I caution you LMG.......

On a total side note do you fish from shore much LMG? Any u southern fl guys pond hope up here before?


fishing user avatarfstr385 reply : 

I think its easier to pick up fish in the local canals and lakes than the glades right now and esp chobee. My friends are tellin me the tourney guys are baggin low 20's to win. I havent gone up there in like 2 months+ since the levels have been up so high. I guess its down in the 15 range now but still a mess and early am bite for the most part.

Yes this is a bunch of fun. I will tell you the best part about this is that it makes me take out $3200 worth of rods and reels every Sunday that I might not if it werent for this. I feel like I am fishing a tourney every weekend. It will definately hold me over until the King Of The Glades tour starts up again. I dont know if Martin could handle 125" worth of LMG Bass. He was pretty freaked out with the monster from yesterday. I fish from shore occasionally, but since I have a boat now, I usually hold until a Sunday on the water in it. If I have a free day during the week, I may sneek off to a walk on the edge of the water somewhere. We dont really have ponds down here, mostly canal systems.


fishing user avatarfishingator reply : 

Here is my 14.5" from this weekend. I was so happy not to be taking a picture in the tall grass but this pic isn't any better lol. If I can ever find some big fish I will probably end up taking 100 pics!

You will be fine with 4 rigs and plenty of bait. Don't worry, if you want to grab a rig to throw don't be shy, youre more than welcome to throw some Shimanos. I just warn you that I will not be held responsible for what happens after you have felt the magic of an E series reel in your hands.

You can only recommend a 100 dollar rod and such and such reel so many times before you get bored of repetition... I know I did. I just stick to threads related to what I own now and give input if asked. This thread is full o life and jokes. I dont think Ive caught 20 fish in the last 2 months but this weekend is my weekend. I went outside today the neighborhood pond and there is so much crap on the water, they just cut the grass. I used to be able to go outside and catch 3-10 fish a night, now not so much,


fishing user avatar---=Martin=--- reply : 

In case some of you new guys missed the previous videos posted earlier, below is the trilogy. If you read this month's and previous months' competition threads you'll know LgMouthGambler and I are friends and we have a healthy riverly (spelling?) going on about who's a better fisherman... now the truth is that he is so much better at this than me, that it's not even funny. So I compensate by making fun of him and our friendship and how little I feel when fishing next to him :)

 

Enjoy!

Went fishing for about an hour after work again and seen the biggest school of big bass ive ever seen in person. Must have been like 12-15 together between 2-4lbs. I tossed a worm out before they came by schooled like 6 feet in front of me, so I reeled in real quick to see if I could get my worm near them in time and got a 19" of the rear of the pack to drop off and dive for it... and if that wasnt cool enough a snakehead about equal weight was following the school or hiding below and was about to tear up my bass as I was fighting it! Would have been mad if the s.h. got it, but was enough excitement for a fishernerd for the day!

I saw someone mention on here about their neighborhood pond getting the grass cut around it and their fishing has dropped off.  Well this is the same situation at my frogging spot.  Used to be knee high grass on shore and into the water a bit, crews came by and hacked EVERYTHING.  I mean not a single blade of tall grass left on the shore or in the water and since then ive pulled 1 fish out of there in 2 weeks.  Previously i was getting 3-5 hits a night.

No it was ranked like 12 in the country for craft beers. We got some good ones....Martin ever give you zubrowka or wyborova? Now that is what it is about! And don't get me wrong either I like my whisky and whiskey just fine but I find the old no 8 is bit too much $$ for what it is.

Yeah, I finally had a productive morning and get to cull some of my small fish.  Caught one very nice LMB (21) then a few smaller ones, but at least they were bigger than before.... albeit not by much. 

1 @ 21

1 @ 15

1 @ 12.5

I will call this 13.5" sorry for the tapes zero not being clearly shown, I have a good 2" before the tapes numbers start. 10" Gambler Ribbontail in kissimmee blue with a 3/16 bullet and 5/0 EWG

 

I think this puts me at a whopping 28.5" LOL watch out Lou I am sneeking up on you. :respect-059:

That little sucker would not stop jumping around, and the bite was on so I didn't stop for too long. Thanks though.

Oh, and all those were caught on a weightless green pumpkin stik-o worm (BPS version of senko)

Good to know, I'll keep a look out for that color. The green pumpkin seems to be the only thing I consistantly catch anything on. I also picked up the same stick-o in watermelon magic. Only used it once with no luck, but maybe I should give it more than a few casts next time.

I like the watermelons in really clear water.. or watermelon red. Or slightly dirty water in bright sun, otherwise the pumpkins seem to do it better.

Had some decent luck on my first day off my week hiatus.  Caught a little guy on a lizard, missed one on the frog and caught this guy on the frog.  Was at my spot that had all the grass hacked down and the only spots i got a hit were on 2 left over patches of weeds.  So i think my diagnosis of hacking weeds=no fish is correct.  Im gonna call this one 16", it was pretty dang dark out when i got this one so i was just trying to get the tape measure close.  With my week off ive totally lost track of where im at, but i believe this is my 3rd fish my guess is 51"?? Lou you may have to confirm/change this.

Rodman resivior has a campground. You would be right by the Ocala national forrest, there are a ton of ponds/lakes and then you can probably rent a boat for the main lake. IMO I would find somewhere near Ocala in the national forest or go to the west like Crystal River, Homasassa Springs. The rviers there are beautiful, you can rent a house boat and camp on that. But check out the map below....Up here in Jax fort Clinch is cool but it is more salt water and no fresh water fishing really I can think of and for the most part Jax and St. Augustine are more history and beachy type parks if that is your thing.

Depends on where you are at but it isn't bad. Last 2 weeks of Dec. last year hear in Jax I caught some nice fish almost every trip(2-3 times a week). They were were feeding and getting ready for the spawn. They almost stay in a fall patern and go straight to prespawn pattern so you will get fish. A light texas rigs worked sweeping or slow rolling(not dragging - a bit faster than dragging). Ribbon tails, lizards, rattlesnakes on the Trig....Senkos, flukes, lipless, jerk baits and spinnerbaits were ok too as far as I can recall. Even if the nights are in the 40's or 50's water still stays up in the 60's or higher. A deeper pond(since that is what I am used to) stays active better than some of the shallow retention ponds.

Thanks, it was a grind......SLOW and low was the deal...

 

Did you guys happen to notice the extended forecast for S. Florida....next week it looks like our first cool front will be upon us.  High of mid 70's and lows of upper 50's at night.  Generally this will trigger the fish into a good prespawn pattern and unofficially end the summer dog days!!!!!  Next Friday whether on boat or bank I'll be out for sure.

 

two weeks ago on lake O, water temps were still 80-82.  Hopefully after the front the temps will drop to the low to mid seventies????

LGM is just mad I'm not taking him fishing... 


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Oh it's gonna be a rough couple of weeks. Moving to a new place on the 1st, so fishing is gonna be tough to accomplish. Good thing is I will have a 2 car garage to store the boat, and there is a huge lake that is part of the C-13 canal system. Icant wait, but am not looking forward to the moving part itself. Gonna have to squeeze loading the truck on Friday night, and getting everything unloaded by Saturday afternoon. Looks like this weekend might be my last horah, unless. I can convince her to let me go next Sunday.

OMG what an exciting and disappointing evening all in one!  I ran by a couple new places on the way to a regular spot.  Of course they were no trespassing and since I was by myself in the Nissan I skipped them.  I got to a regular spot and jump out of the car with two set ups - my usual wacky rigged senko and a frog.  I march right up to the bank, not paying attention which is not like me, and there is a huge splash!  I surprised this ornery gator that hangs out in the area.  He was not pleased.  He came up mid canal looking irritated.  I started throwing my frog and then he started bothering me.  I literally had to get aggressive to get him to go away.  He came back one more time and I just let him have it and he left for the night.  Still alone, I was fishing my frog and I kid you not I must have had 15 hits on my frog!!!  Mind you, I still don't know how to use it lol.  The first one scared the crap out of me because I was still wigged out about the gator.  I was blown away!  I finally calmed down to try to use it properly.  I cast out across the canal and instantly got a hit.  I let him take it before "setting the hook" which apparently I still didn't do because about mid canal he spit the frog :/.  My SO, his daughter and a friend of ours showed up.  Our friend was fishing a t-rigged watermelon worm and caught a 12" and a 13".  I got a few bites on a t-rigged watermelon and red worm but somehow missed those too.  The exciting part was I really got into my frog!  I would fish a worm for a bit but I really wanted to catch one on my frog and I was using it instead of bailing on it.  The bad part was I didn't catch a d**n thing lol.  Sorry for the story but it was a fun evening and I learned a lot!

Hi girl! Here's what I can offer regarding frogging:

 

1) Drag tight as it can go!

2) 50lbs braid.

3) Make that fish see twice when setting the hook.

4) Give him 1-2 seconds after the hit.

 

Good luck! Maybe I'll put you in my next video as well if you're frogging get's better :P

 

EDIT TO ADD: Booyah Pod Crasher Junior is the only frog you should be using :D

I went out today after work and got 2 on a senko. Then as I was bringing the senko back, I got a massive top water strike (that's my top water swim senko technique I've perfected with Gambler the other weekend... hey, at least I wasn't jigging with a spinner bait like he was :P) but he cut the senko in half and no fish. Then I switched to a popper, got on hit, but no fish. Finally I tried a spook as well as frog but nothing. Quiet evening.

 

This little guys is from last Sunday with Gambler LOL:

I just had it set up on a 7' Penn Rod that I picked up a while back on sale at Dick's lol.  It's the only one I have that has a decent backbone to it. I have 50lb braid on it annnnnd it is a spinning rod.  I don't know how to fish with a bait caster yet.  I was using a black and yellow spro frog. 

 

Any suggestions are appreciated!  I am still learning a lot.  I am hoping to get a new set up for Christmas but I am going to probably make a separate thread for that just to get opinions.  That is if we don't get one next week when bps opens hahaha.

Thank you!  I could guess my drag probably needed to be tighter.  I def have good braid on.  I for SURE waited on the one.  He pulled it down into the canal but I may not have set as hard as I should.  I appreciate it!!!  I was using a spro frog but I have my eye on the one you mentioned lol.

Yea, real cool video, lol. Lotsa action. Last week was a much better bite but it was a bit cooler and we have warmed up some this week. Cold front next weekend. I know the bite last week was after a cool down contrary to what all the authors say about cold front bass being tough. They were hunkered in the shoreline that day.

 

It was dead out there and I was having a heck of a time with things. I also fell out of the boat at one point but I deleted the footage on accident. I wish I could get a better angle. I know I love watching vids of fishing when I'm not out there and I'de love to contribute.

fishing user avatarCutlerJay reply : 

Caught my personal best today.  Once again the green pumpkin stik-o did the trick.  21 inches in length and fat....I think I finally get to call this one a pig.  I do not have a scale, but I think this was definitely in the 5.5 -6 lbs range,  Pics are of same fish one for length, the other for fun.  Very exciting pulling this thing in.  Also, used a nice trick I learned from the YouTubes (think it was a KVD video).  The fish pulled me and stuck me to a rock ledge, then I gave it just a tiny bit of slack and I felt it loosen just enough to pull its head up and out.  Lost two other fish the other day at same spot by giving it to much slack and it just jammed even farther in the undercut.  Will keep that bit of knowledge for later.  After the worms slowed I threw a spook and got 10 or so hits but not one hook-up.  Would yall keep throwing the spook or switch to something else on the topwater?  I just chalked it up to small fish, but I am not really sure.  What do you think.  Well, here is my fish......I am a happy camper today.

Often times the smaller bass don't inhale the whole frog right away and only grab it by the skirted legs. You can try waiting longer before the hook set, but then you risk him spitting it out. But if you get a large one to strike, follow my instructions :) btw, my hookup ratio was 1 to 10, after switching to Booyah Junior frogs it went up to 9 in 10, those Booyah Jr. are really the best in my opinion.

 

Good luck!

Caught my personal best today.  Once again the green pumpkin stik-o did the trick.  21 inches in length and fat....I think I finally get to call this one a pig.  I do not have a scale, but I think this was definitely in the 5.5 -6 lbs range,  Pics are of same fish one for length, the other for fun.  Very exciting pulling this thing in.  Also, used a nice trick I learned from the YouTubes (think it was a KVD video).  The fish pulled me and stuck me to a rock ledge, then I gave it just a tiny bit of slack and I felt it loosen just enough to pull its head up and out.  Lost two other fish the other day at same spot by giving it to much slack and it just jammed even farther in the undercut.  Will keep that bit of knowledge for later.  After the worms slowed I threw a spook and got 10 or so hits but not one hook-up.  Would yall keep throwing the spook or switch to something else on the topwater?  I just chalked it up to small fish, but I am not really sure.  What do you think.  Well, here is my fish......I am a happy camper today.

 

 

has anyone here fished a jitter bug yet?!? it's THE BEST top water lure for early morning or late evening when the sun is setting...

simple. you throw it. once it lands you wait few seconds, often times you will get a strike within the first 4 seconds after it lands. if no strike, start bringing it slowly in so that it makes the bubbling sound. don't stop. run it slow and steady. works great on a calm flat surface with no wind, early morning or late evening, around sun setting or coming up. i've caught more bass on that thing when I was bass fishing back in NY when in highschool than I did here in FL... yes, there was a time when i was a great bass fisher man, then i took a break for 15 years and am at it again since last year. FL bass is tough... or it might be the spell Gambler cast upon me! that cheating wretched!!!

 

EDIT TO ADD: i only use the small one peace jitter bugs. even nailed a snakehead one one few weeks ago :)


fishing user avatarJellyMan reply : 

I have one. It acts like a buzz bait but you can work it much slower, which I think is much more beneficial... AND you can stop it!

fishing user avatar---=Martin=--- reply : 

Well, the curse of the Gambler was definately upon me today! The first 2 fish I caught were gut hooked, and even though I managed to remove the hook and not hold them out of the water for very long, they both DIED!!! First one I unhooked in under a minute, and when I put him back in he was dead, the second one was out for a minute, then back in the water for a swim, then back out again, and he also... kaput! The one in the pic below is the largest one I got today, and he's one of the two that dies! d**n you Gambler!!!!

 

Otherwise it was a great day. Fstr385 and I met up at 6:55am, dropped his itsy-bitsy-tiny boat and worked my entire honey hole canal in 5 hours that followed. We must have boated 30+ fish (this is where I hear NOT ONE word from Lou nor Gambler!) and had a great time!

 

P.S. Lou I believe I should be in the 90+ inch territory :)

i know you'll post the top 10 tomorrow, but could you also PM me or post my 5 fish, since you started keeping score, I forgot what I caught :)

 

Also, not sure how you're doing it, but do you want an Excel spredsheet (I can share it with you as google doc) that will automatically calculate top 5 based on the numbers you plug in (I promise to not hack the programming in my favor :P)?

Sounds like everyone had a good weekend but is :(. I have frog-itis and now I can't put it down despite not catching. Lovely. We went to a new sweet place. We didn't even cover the whole area. I did catch a small guy on a lizard and missed a few on lizard and frog. Hoping for a miracle next weekend!

I love frogging. Some areas are too good to pass up, but unfortunately, no matter how pretty it looks, frogs are not always on the menu. Today for example, bait fish was on the menu. The place we were at was full of bait. So we had to adjust and target the schooling bass.

I noticed that today too all the way up here. They didn't want the frog in the AM had few misses. But in the afternoon they were locked in on anything resembling bait fish

fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Here are a few pics from todays adventure with Lou. Nothing big, but there were plenty of fish caught. Started the day with spooks and topwater. The Bass were chasing the baitfish like crazy, so we had switched it up a bit. I started throwing a trap for a bit, then switched it up to a EZ. The fish were hammering the baits like crazy, even all the way out to the middle of the lake. It seemed like almost every cast the fish were on. They were striking the bait with such force, almost coming out in flight to attack it. Started to slow down a bit around 11, so we switched up to worms, lizards, and creature baits. The rest of the day wasnt too bad, and ended up around 50-60 fish, and off the water around 3. It was a good time, and great to be able to BS with Lou for the day on the water.

They went after my frog, I just suck at it. I even let one take it but I still couldn't hook it. My SO got one on his frog too and lost it. I definitely did better with my lizard hit wise. It's tough to actually fish when we take the kids. It was a new spot too so idk...just bummed.

Here are this past weeks standings:

 

1 . Rovingmutt     102"

2.  Fstr                 101"

3.  Tightlines        98"

4.  AK                   95"

5.  LMG                94"

6.  Jaxbasser       91.75"

7.  Martin             89.50"

8.  Cutlerjay         83.50"

9.   Fishingator     70"

10. Dynomyte       57" 

 

As you can all see, it's still anyone's competition. Everyone in the top 5 still have smaller fish to cull, which can be a game changer. Great job, for everyone participating. Even if you did not make the top 10, there was movement in the bottom 10 category. We have officially 10 more days of competition, to see if there is a new "King/Queen of the hill, or if the defending champ can pull off a come from behind victory. Stay tuned.....

The individual I am starting to feel concerned for is FSTR. I don't think he really knows how possessive Martin can be..... LOL.

This brings me to another topic. Tourney on the Lake. We should get a Sunday where we could all drop in Lake Coral Springs and have a day slaying those Bass. Since Fastr has a boat that is good for that area, it would be a good place to do it.

I am sorry lunkmaster, welcome to the forums. As you can see we can have a little bit to much fun on here. We have this competition every month for the last 5 months already. My goal is to keep this thing running for an entire year. That would be cool. We start in the beginning of each new month, and the first 5 days of each month entry is available to new and returning participants. After that, you can still follow and hang with us, but your numbers will not count for the competition. Looking forward to seeing you on board next month.

Lou, I warned you about me and LMG when we fished together, didn't I? Believe me, I'm dialing it waaaaaaay back! Perhaps one day I'll record what goes on when LMG and I are fishing together, if you think I need to dial it back here, well, you should see us on the water ;)

 

But in all seriousness, this is nothing more than a good fun with good friends here! I know I push the envelope sometimes, but I hope you all realize this is 100% humor from my end, and I love you all guys! After all I portray myself as the world's most evil man and laugh at myself more than at anything or anyone else :) This is a great forum and I've already made few friends here (shout out to LMG, fstr385, and you Lou!, wish more of you were more local!)

 

And as far as the competition lasting for a year or more... why not?!?! It's not like we're going to stop reading this forum, nor stop fishing right? I know some months will be slower than others, but why not keep doing this until we all drop dead or move out of FL :) For me, this competition is a great motivator to go out even when I don't feel like it and to step up my game! So let's keep rocking on as long as we can!!!

got this one, we will call him 13", this morning. Think that puts me at 3 for 41.5. It was dead, no activity....Only strike. Throwing a Zoom utlra vibe speed craw on a keel weighted hook. Tried a black worm also with no luck. It was pretty humid, hear tell that cooler weather is around the corner. But I will believe it when I see it. Might try the swimming fluke next time out.

Swim baits have the ability to raise the titanic, happened to me but when I had the titanic close to shore she sunk again!

Zach you are at 70" with 5 fish.

 

To rotate your pic, when your uploading the picture, when you hit review and publish, there on the bottom left hand side there are options that tell you rotate left or rotate right. Click on the direction you want to rotate, give it few seconds to do so, then click save and your done.

Martin I know both you and LMG are knuckleheads. I am sure if we all hung out we wouldn't be able to fish with all the laughing. LMG and I had few good laughs, this dude cracks me up. I also agree that this forum has been great for me as well. I have made several new friends by just interacting here. It's too bad that several of you do live farther away, but this place brings us together. As far as the competition, if last's forever, great. If it doesn't we will some how figure out a way to stay connected.

What did you all catch your fish on? Details, we got to know the details LOL


fishing user avatar1234567 reply : 

Good point MCS,

Last week I caught five that I forgot to bring my tape measure.  All those fish were caught on the bottom with a Netbait B-bug in Toledo Special color.  All these fish were caught working the bottom SLOW, and they were all located near chunk rock. 

 

This one was caught on a buzzbait, She was sitting next to a clump of grass that was growing out of the water on a shallow hump between two dropoffs.  She hit it as soon as I popped it off the grass clump onto the other side.  Later I caught a nice snook on the same buzzbait.  Buzzbaits not the same now.

 

This weekend hopefully its better for us deep south Florida guys as this cool front finally pushes south towards us!!!!

I found the spot you texted me on google earth. Are there pads and grass there or is it pretty much open?

That 21" is way fatter than mine the other night. There's definitely bigger ones in there. Like I was sayin you need to wake up and get to your spots in the AM whenever you can. Naps are made for us fishermen lol

Sorry about this but I have a fish question for ya'll.  We can get back to who's seeing who on who's boat with who's video camera soon, but for now....

 

I was at my neighborhood pond last night 6:30.  Did not catch anything.  I did see, however, small schools of bass aggressively chasing bait all the up to the pond edge in about 1ft of water.  It was crazy, I could see the bait scattering all around then three or four larger wakes shooting through; and lots of splashing.  This pond is small and I know I could walk around it and find the bait just like the bass are and I have tried throwing stuff through it, but with no luck - not even hits.

 

So my question....What would ya'll throw at this situation?

It is like that at most spots around here. Personally my best luck in these cases were a 2-4" curly tail grubt on a light 1/16 or 1/8 jig head. salt/pepper, black, smoke, black with chart tail, white.....But your not gonna win the comp like that though. The big gals don't chase bait, they let it come to them....But it is a blast with my son or on light gear.....Sometimes throwing something through them(I mean vertically falling through - top to bottom) like a fluke, senko or creature, with persistence you can get a strike. The stragglers on the bottom under usually are bigger fish too.

Anything that resembles baitfish. Try Zoom UV Speed Worms, Gambler Flappin Shad or EZ, Flukes, Spooks, etc.

Lol love you opening statement this will make the fishing related post count to 101 lol

I would throw some sort of swim bait. A lot of spots around me are like that and I'm always throwing frogs in the shallows and when they are chasing bait fish they sometimes key in on my frog. But I usually go the swim bait rout (hard/soft) or an ultra vibe worm or rage craw fished on top.

Ok, I usually have 30 minutes after dinner/before kids bedtime to wet a line.  And of all your suggestions I only currently have one spook and a few colors of flukes in my tackle box.  Gonna tie a spook on one rod, a fluke on another and see what happens.  Thanks fellas

Did a little fishing while on my lunch break behind the offices off Jim Moran Blvd. Missed two in the 20 mins I had to burn.  One only had the tail of the worm the other broke off.  Funny you guys mention wearing business clothes while out fishing, that's everyday for me when I stop on the way home from work.  On the flip side my wife loves when I come home with stickers/hitch hikers (little green square things) stuck all over the bottom of my trousers. Probably a good idea to buy some knee high rubber boots, for her sake anyways lol.

That is funny! Was he upset? So did he give the go ahead to keep fishing it? Give you any tips? LOL

No we laughed about it. He said he didn't care. If signs pop up then I will know better ;). He doesn't fish :/. He only asked if I saw gators in the area.


fishing user avatarfishingator reply : 

The truly surprising thing is I work an hour and a half from where I live so I never would have expected him to say he had property up there lol.

Wow that is a haul...Living up in Northern Va during college and then moving back a couple years ago I had to do commutes like that IT SUCKs...I got spoiled living in cities like Las Vegas, St. Pete and Jax LOL anything over 30 is a no go.

For the record, Martin told me that he might not be able to fish this Sunday. You guys are my witness, so he cant ***** at me that I took someone else in the boat. I don't want him to give me the "guilt trip" again, lol. You never know Lou, you could be up for round 2. (If Martin reads that, he may just change his mind, lol) Otherwise, I might be swimming around in Margate by myself unless someone else wants to join me.

Round 2 would definitely be fun, however, I am going to scout the glades on Saturday, based on some reports that I came across. Martin you can relax..... for now.... ;)

This weather up here has the fish going nuts. Just fished the pond by my house and got 10 fish in about 15 minutes of fishing. Massive schools of bass just crushing everything in the water. Gonna go to my big fish spot tomorrow and hopefully have similar luck. I need to get back in the top 5.

fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

Jax I noticed the same thing today. Went out an hour before dark and they were on fire! The spot I was fishing has a lot of oads but the are dying which caused the water to be really murky. Got into some nice ones all on a white frog.

Going out Saturday morning hopefully I can cull some but it's gonna be hard :)

Same here as you guys. Went out from about 5 till dark. It was windy and just as the sun started to set behind the trees, they lit up. No culls, but got alot of nice 16-19"ers. Figured this weather would fire them up. One more day and its off the the glades :D

fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

I stopped at this spot this morning for only 20mins around 7:20 with a white frog. I got 7 STRIKES but the weird thing is they were all bumps. I'd be moving my frog along the bank and then I'd see the fish's wake come at the from and then it would bump it or grab the legs and let go. It was weird to see this I have never had that happen, let alone 7 strikes in 20 mins. 2 big ones I could clearly see she grabbed the legs, while frog was sitting there, and then let go.

If I had those live target frogs with the treble hooks or a spook I most likely would have caught all those bumpers and nibblers lol

I use the frogs with the paddle tails so that could be why anyone else notice something like this before?


fishing user avatarfishingator reply : 

Well...I fished from 7-10 this morning. Caught two right away on a weightless 12" culprit ribbon tail black. They were still small at 15" and 14" but I still think I can use those sadly lol. I think the front shut them down because it was quiet out there. I found a new spot and caught a dink on a wacky rigged worm watermelon magic but the area looks promising. Being in a new area and fairly new to bass fishing has proven to be a challenging.

Haha. Leno. I will be spooling that thing up with 10lb YoZuri and using it as much as I can around town for sure to get a good feel of it. By the time it gets to me I will be in my new place that is on a lake that is part of the C-13 canal. The extra casting distance will help to launch lures further out while I walk the banks there. Also, with an 8.1 retrieve, I can burn the bait back to me for the next cast if needed. This all reminds me that I now have to start some "re-arranging" of my rods and reels. Looks like the Super Duty is gonna get spooled with braid and mounted on a Dobyns rod for pitching purposes.

They just didn't want to commit to eating it. I've had that happen a lot. Could be because of the really cool weather the last couple of nights, they aren't as aggressive.

 

When that happens I'll usually follow up with a slow worm and get the fish.

Yes. A nice ribbon tail to entice them. The lighter the line and weight, the better it will be. A nice slow flowing fall will usually get them in a trance. They just have to eat it because its just too easy.

I guess the weater would make sense because I went to the same spot few days ago during this weather change and they were on but that was the evening so water was most likely a lot cooler than it was this morning

Way to go forum.  I followed your advice and now I get to cull another one.  Pulled this from my little pond.  Threw a rapala x-rap white around the bait schools and got this 18.5 inch-er.  Missed another probably in the same size range.

hehe Lou, i'm heading into a busy weekend. my mother is flying in from Poland on tuesday (want some Zubrowka MCS, or some other liquor? no joke, i can ask her to bring some. maybe Sliwowica?) and i have a lot of work around the house, plus my friend (13sn13) is turning 30 tomorrow so it's a party!

 

i did manage to go out today after work though, this time i fished behind my house in the small canal and it was on fire. i pulled 3 snakeheads and about 10 bass, all in about an hour, though the bass were TINY! from 6 to maybe 13-14 inches, on a good day.

 

speaking of snakeheads, i saw a pair guarding young, and the young ones were HUGE! i've never seen a school of 5" snakeheads! there were hundreds of them! this whole canal is infested with the devil fish and i'm beginning to wonder if i should thin them out a bit. i normally let them back in the water, unless i'm going to eat one which doesn't happen often, because i have an ethical problem with killing things for no reason, but it has really gotten bad in my canal. i must have seen a snakehead every 20-30 yards!!! this is insane!!! there was a lot of small bass and other fish, but the snakeheads were all decent size. i'm seriously starting to wonder if this little canal can sustain the eco system with so many apex predators of one specie in it :(

 

what do you guys think? should i go on a "kill snakeheads" campaign for few weeks? my mom will be here and i'll be taking some time off so i can find time to walk up and down that canals and do some serious damage...

and the fry was guarded by two adults one maybe 2 feet, but the other one was HUGE, probably 36-38 inches, and fat too! i tried catching them but once they saw me they were no game.

 

so, what's the quickest and most humane way to kill a snakehead (I can't believe i'm asking this question :( )? whacking them on the head does little because their skulls are so hard! i once tried to decapitate the one i caught for dinner and it took good 10 minutes with knifes and scissors :-/

Can't help you there buddy. However watching video's of the snakehead round ups, they use little aluminum clubbing bats. Two good hits on their heads and I don't see them moving after that.

Did someone say zubrowka??? Is the liquior the plum stuff? If you can get me one or the other I would be happy to pay u plus shipping and a little extra for your time. I haven't had zubrowka since I brought a bottle back from England in 2001....never had the liquior, and my dad would love to sample some as well. Na Zdrowie!

You gotta get a good knife buddy...a kabar or esee.... quickest way inst a bat or decapitating. It is one good poke right through the head. But bat is the lease gruesome, knock them out and the suffocate.

Sliwowica is the plum moonshine. I don't know what Wisniak is, but by the name of it it's cherry vodka. it's disgusting (sliwowica) but some like it. Zubrowka is the vodka with grass leaf. I can get you both if you want. PM me your email, we'll work out the details :)

and the fry was guarded by two adults one maybe 2 feet, but the other one was HUGE, probably 36-38 inches, and fat too! i tried catching them but once they saw me they were no game.

 

so, what's the quickest and most humane way to kill a snakehead (I can't believe i'm asking this question :( )? whacking them on the head does little because their skulls are so hard! i once tried to decapitate the one i caught for dinner and it took good 10 minutes with knifes and scissors :-/

 

so, HOW DO I KILL IT! I've seen people cut them open UNDER the head on the soft side, but that sounds gruesome...

.45 ACp right to the head. Execution style!

fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

Went out this evening, not the ideal times to fish but I was bored. Didn't catch anything! Maybe a cold cuz it was windy and I was in a wife beater but other than that nothing. I EVEN RESORTED TO WORMS! I threw a 10.5" ribbon tail, 6" senko, u vibe worms, and rage craws and DB craws. It was a waste of 2 hours. I met this nice little girl named Amy, at one spot, asking if I can catch a fish so she could take it home and put it in her bath tub lol. I told her I would try but it was up to the fish if they were hungry or not and I guess they weren't hungry for anything I put on the menu.

I may try to go tomorrow morning but that depends on how much sleep I get tonight

Ak been like that for me all week. My buddy has only been catching from 7-8 am on shim-e-stick green pumpkin red flake.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

I just got back in from my trip and I am exhausted. Don't worry I am no where close to being a threat in the contest. LOL. We did have a lot of fun. We boated 60 fish. No big ones to brag about. Yes, it was windy, but the day was beautiful. Low 80's partly cloudy.  The glades looked normal for this time of year. Water was a little higher than normal but better than what I was expecting. We went through a lot of plastics, but the frog fishing was non-existent. There is a healthy population of fish that's for sure. My casting arm is dead, so I probably will not fish for a couple days and rest up.


fishing user avatarfstr385 reply : 

Went out to lox this am. From about 730-9 little fish were avg every other cast.. which is entertaining, sept when it kills about $15 worth of worms lol. After that got a bunch of hit and miss flips and a few decent catches but other than the bowfin, biggest was 19". Didnt realize the punch baits were almost gone so ran out early. Goin to bps to now to stock up for a re do tomorrow.

That's funny I picked up a pack of them on Friday lol.

But I was going to try to go out early but I figured the water temps would be too cold. The other morning like I said I got 7 strikes in 20mins all I the frog but they were all bumps no commits so I chalked that up to the cold temps but idk.

If I'm up early I will definitely try since your buddy had luck

We went out for a bit back to the new area I fished Friday. I had a worm rigged weightless in redbug and I was getting topwater hits so I told my SO to get his new booyah pad crasher. He did and on the third cast he got a nice one. He is now in love with his frog lol. It was 19.5" and read 3# on the crappy lipper scale. I just got a dink. He also caught the smallest fish of the day lol.

As soon as we switched to wacky it was almost a hit per cast.

Nothing too big(biggest was a lil over a lb.)

But def. More activity than ive seen in awhile.

I caught a nice amount of fish but no measurements. Tarpon were jumping and rolling in the Griffin canal. One looked like it was near 40lbs, huge. Would have been a fight.

I did catch 2peas in sunrise and the male of the pair was my hardest peacock bass fight ever. Thing was a bull and it was probably 5lbs at the most. I took some pics. We used shiners trying to catch shook, tarpon and peas. The life span of them might have been the most pitiful thing ever. I'll catch some mayans next time. I caught the peas on a Walmart hair jig.

Matter of fact I did catch a tarpon this morning in the inlet, guessing upwards of 40# on a DOA jerk shad on a jig head, mh spinning rod.   My friend threw his cast net maybe 7 or 8 times, couldn't get it into the net.  Finally slipped the hook which is really the way it should be, yeh they do put up a bit of a tussle.  With the exception of tossing a lure now and then in my ponds and canal I have done next to no bass fishing, considering giving it up altogether.

I tell my SO to keep going down the road bc I would like to see where this water goes and we did this SWEET spot. It's noon and fish are jumping.

Mainebass has put some very impressive numbers. If we include our top 5 fish of our top 10 group it will compare very closely to his top 5.  He is fishing in a great fishery that's for sure. BTW those fish are not from Maine, they were caught in Vermont.. LOL. Do not jump ship yet AK, our fishing down here has not remotely started to warm up yet.

Yea I think that's the one where tey were throwing back 4-5lbers that was crazy! They were flipping and pitching if I remember correctly that technique produces some monster fish.

Have you ever flip/pitched from your boat? That's how a lot of the pros I see on TV do it in tournaments, being a bank guy I don't think it's an effective technique for me. I remember seeing a thread about bank flipping and pitching so it can be done I guess

fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Had a good day today. Went out with the intentions of finding some Bass, but then decided to go for some Snakeheads instead. Havent fished for them in a while, and wanted some fight. Did a little rearranging last night with some of my rods and reels in anticipation of the Tatula Type-R. I actually put the Super Duty on the Dobyns Savvy 705 for pitching baits, and took the CuradoE7 off the 705, and I put it on the 704 for frogging. I actually like the 704 better for my frogging. The softer action helps to launch those Pad Crusher Jrs even further than before with less effort. Also, I am able to feel the fish easier on the end of the line to know that the fish has it, and then to set the hook. My hookups were easier and more solid. The ChronarchE7 is now on my Compre MH/XF for Jigs, and the Curado50E is now on the Carbonlite MH/F for soft plastics. I will end up getting a new rod for the Tatula when it gets here. Still undetermined of which one it will be though. Anyway, back to the day at hand. Went out with Papa(wifes Grandfather), and we launched at Rock Island and Southgate ramp on the C-14. Went swimming around in the Margate canals. We got them pretty good, about 50 fish. A 50/50 split of Bass and Snakeheads. Floated from around 0700-1400. I kept throwing my Pad Crusher Jr because the fish were non-stop on it, and Papa was killing them on the Brush Hog. We were going slow and covering just about every inch of water that we could, and it paid off bigtime. Here are some pics.

Fishing has been tough for some, and pretty good for others. I am on the tough side. Although, this past week I have caught personally over 50 bass, that number does not mean much when from those 50, 0 would help in this contest lol. It sure was fun though. At the end of the day, that's what its all about. Fun.

Got you down Zach, you are at 74.50. Still competing to the end, I like that.


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Alright, here is another thing I want to do for next month. This will not affect the number systems at all, and I will do this so Lou doesn't have to. For every catch I would like to record what lure and color you were using, and maybe how you were fishing it (weight size, line, and the way you presented it) if possible. I would like to take a survey for myself and for you guys that are maybe new to fishing a little, and maybe it will help to see some patterns. I follow the Farmers Almanac, and its also built into my watch. It will also help to see what baits were the most productive for the month, and maybe help others to try out a bait they may have otherwise not usually go for. If you would be interested, let me know. I would also take that info into what bait caught your biggest fish for that month.

Next question is how many Poles(no not fishing rods - LMG wins that) does it take to win the comp? Lol


fishing user avatar---=Martin=--- reply : 

scientists decided to create a new species of gamefish.
so they crossed a koho salmon with a walleye, and came up with a fish called a ko-wal.
well, it got real big and had nice markings, but it didnt fight worth a chit.
so they crossed the ko-wal with a musky, and came up with a fish called a ko-wal-ski, and it was so f-ing stupid they had to teach it how to swim!!! :D

Seems like the littler ones put up a hell of a fight. Few weeks ago I casted out really far had a huge explosion on my frog. I'm reeling in an the fish is fighting like crazy and stayed deep so u thought she was HUGE. I had some slop on her so couldn't see her when I cleared it the fish wasn't what I expected at all it was 16" had a gut but I thought I had a 24" Goliath lol

fishing user avatardsidle61 reply : 

d**n im about 10 min to late bc i think this puts me in the top 10. The frogs were absolutely on FIRE tonight.  Had 8 hits in just about an hour, unfortunately i was not on fire as i only pulled in one of them.  17" though so not bad (for some of us!)  Also noticed thatevery single one of my hits was no more than 2 or 3 feet off the shoreline.  I was literally casting on the shore parallel to me and holding my rod way out in front of me and dragging it off the same bank i was standing on.  To get a head start on LMGs idea, caught this on a ribbit bullfrog colored, no weight, and using 30# braid. post-42573-0-43124100-1383005246_thumb.j

Dsidle you were about 15 min behind.... LOL. No worries. You are correct, that fish you caught makes it your 5th and it moves you to 9th with 88" WTG!!

LOL.. Dsidle I am still reading what you said over again. However, in the last 5 months that we all have been doing this we have never had a tie. Tie breaker for 10th place? For me, not a big deal. If it happens to be me and Zach, I will give it to him. Now if you're telling me tie breaker for 1st, that's a different story. We will have to come up with something if and when that ever happens.

Some us have been there, I don't miss it, that's for sure. Are you doing graduate or undergraduate work right now? Either way. 4-5 times a month of fishing is better than no times a month. Think it over and let us know on Fri if your in. If not, that's cool, keep on posting and following us.

I didn't fish while I was in college at all but if I was here in FL I might not have graduated with my Bachelors in Finance with all these fishing spots there is no way lol. In NJ I went to college in a city so there was no freshwater fishing. I lost track of my passion during those years and gained it back when I moved here.

So you go to school up north?

it sounds so easy in my head lol basically you take the two people tied and list their individual fish from longest to shortest.  then you compare person As longest to person Bs longest.  if As longest fish is longer than Bs then he wins.  If they both have the same length longest individual fish then you go to fish number 2 for each person.  if these are the same then you go to their 3rd fish and so on.  the chances of 2 people catching the same exact lenght of all 5 fish have to be so extremely slim.  maybe this helps lol i just figured its something really quick that we can do to handle ties.

I think I'm just fascinated by his catches cuz he uses frogs and that's my new obsession lol I dream of fish like that on the end of my line lol.

I'll hit him up. What's his name? I have never caught a fish on a frog. I haven't spent enough time on it though.

Russe048 he throws other things too but the frogs is what has my attention. I saw a video he made on his YouTube and he had bags of live crawfish and poured em around the lake in his boat. Then he tied on a craw colored crank bait and was slaying monster fish it was pretty cool


fishing user avatarJellyMan reply : 

Yeah after my career tanked and I realized that I hated it, I decided to make a change. I was an idiot for not using my pre-paid college when I was younger. Now I have student loans to contend with when I graduate. So stupid. Going to school at 30 for my Bachelors in Marketing and then my MBA. Life has been crazy to say the least. Going to school here in the swamp until the end of the spring semester and then transferring over to UCF. Go KNIGHTS! When I graduate, I am going to try to focus some of my efforts in the fishing industry. Sunglasses, boats, rods, reels, anything. After all, they are companies and they need people with education and passion to help run it and make it grow. 

 

I do have quite an entrepreneurial bone in my body... who knows, maybe I will start my own company.

So when out in the morning, missed a hit on a crank. Lost it...ticked it was becoming my new favorite. It was a bass colored xcalibur fat free fry....Yes I know bomber makes them this was old, got it for 2 bucks at dick with its 1999 packaging. lol but it was awesome, it was a holo bass color, like the bill dance bombers of today...green top white holo side, orange belly

like this but with a shallow square lip 3-6 feet

...SO MAD :computer-17:  :computer-17:

Nothing much doing on the TX rig....tried couple different things, finally landed two small ones on 6.5" culprit fire&ice with a 3/16 weight....Me thinks the wieght was a bit too heavy but I didn't feel like re-tying. I am beging to dislike braid, it's becoming more confidence thing than a pain. 

Here is the 12 inch....that is 4 for me.

Gonna give it one my try tomorrow or thursday morning before calling it a month.

Trust me, I have 2 kids of my own and I get it. I did not say purchase a boat tomorrow, next week, or next month. What I meant to say, is allocating a little $ and  over time of 1 yr or 2, you might have enough stashed away to get an old aluminum boat and a used electric motor. It was just a thought.

Alright, here is another thing I want to do for next month. This will not affect the number systems at all, and I will do this so Lou doesn't have to. For every catch I would like to record what lure and color you were using, and maybe how you were fishing it (weight size, line, and the way you presented it) if possible. I would like to take a survey for myself and for you guys that are maybe new to fishing a little, and maybe it will help to see some patterns. I follow the Farmers Almanac, and its also built into my watch. It will also help to see what baits were the most productive for the month, and maybe help others to try out a bait they may have otherwise not usually go for. If you would be interested, let me know. I would also take that info into what bait caught your biggest fish for that month.

If i could join in on this i would.... i keep a log of everything and would be cool to see your guys experience..

I was keeping a log in excel, but once life got busy and fishing slow about july I slacked and could never get it back on track. Hopfully this helps me get back into keeping up with my log. I like the "stats" of it, kinda like baseball and football box scores you know what I mean. LOL

Trust me, I have 2 kids of my own and I get it. I did not say purchase a boat tomorrow, next week, or next month. What I meant to say, is allocating a little $ and  over time of 1 yr or 2, you might have enough stashed away to get an old aluminum boat and a used electric motor. It was just a thought.

 

Yea when he's a little older I will definitely invest in a boat so we can all go out fishing, my girl likes to fish so it will be easy to convince her.  She is excited for the BPS because we use to rent john boats at this reservoir in NJ and fish. 

 

will have to invest in a truck or SUV too because I'd imagine it'd be hard to tug and load a boat into the water with a dodge charger lol maybe it could be done

Them Kayaks are rediculously priced. I got my boat and trailer for $500.

 

Yea I have seen some great deals on Craig's List for john boats and kayaks are basically the same price, I'd rather get the boat for a little more money and have more room.

What you mean they treated the water? You ain't trying to keep me off your spot LOL....I haven't fished there since the summer and I got skunked two times and had one fish the other. But what did they do? There was a big gator in there last time I was there in July.

 

No I'm not trying to keep you off my spot you know me man I share my spots to all who ask, sometimes to a fault... CZAR!

 

Nah but they treated the water all the pads are dying, and I heard that means the bass don't hangout by them because of lack of oxygen any truth to that?  All of the vegetation that use to be in the front pond and back is gone and the water in the first pond has a aqua blue tint so I was chalking that up to them treating the lake. 

 

I have been skunked the last few times I went there. 2 weeks ago I pulled out a 22.5" (before the treatment) and I have been back few times since then and I was skunked every time not even a bite. I usually see them jumping or chasing baitfish and NOTHING.

 

I have seen that gator a few times not in the last few months though. FIrst time I saw it was night and I could see his glowing eyes, with my head lamp, and I just remember the space between them!  Then I saw him in the light and was like d**n! There is this spot on Old Saint that has one that will give that one a run for his money

Your right LMG the kayaks go for probably the same $$ or more but I was saying that more for launching they are lighter and easiey, no ramps around these ponds, easy in and easy out. you know what I mean.

Well I fish a spot with a few pads, it is getting cold and they die in the winter. The weeds will die too, if surface temps start getting cooler like I know algea and stuff needs to be greater than 75 or 80 is prefered for it to bloom.

They might just be deep? or if it is shallow, cold and shut down. I found that spot after spawn, by that guy at the office here, so I am waiting to see spawn if we can see beds from shore there or not.

Yea but lately I have been frustrated. I'd take a day like you guys have ANY day pulling in 40-80 fish even if they aren't big.  Being a bank guy most I will get is like 10 and that's throughout the whole day and NUMEROUS different spots.  But lately I haven't been getting much I will get one big one and that's it. Its frustrating going out for 4-6 hours, especially now that its getting colder, and only getting 1 or 2 fish but then again I throw the same thing no matter the conditions so its my fault lol. I just got another rod for my reel so I will have my frog on one (braid on that), worm on other (mono on that), and swim bait or crank on the other (fluro on that).

 

I think I need to find another lure to obsess over, soon I will have to throw on a jig when the water gets colder.

That's funny that's EXACTLY what my buddy said. The gators bother you more so when you are on land oppose to in a floating object which makes sense because they don't know what it is they just see the size and a majority of floating objects are bigger than gators

You saw a big one there? We only ever see small ones. But one of the lawn guys said there is a pond in the deep part of the woods that is packed with them and there are big ones back there. They said they rarely see the big ones come out but I guess that one got sick of the crowded space and decided to make a different spot his home.

 

The biggest I have seen outside of Ponte Vedra was at Gate or Old Saint.

LMAO wanna hear something pathetic. I casted and got hung up in a tree so I go to try to get it out and right where I was stuck there was a big banana spider sitting on its web, I think that's what they are called I call em devil creatures. So instead of trying to get my frog and hook out the tree for fear that the spider would drop on my I cut my line and left lol.

 

Man if me and you go out together and we see a spider we are screwed 2 grown men going to be acting like little girls lol

Since you are in Bama you need to check out the Lunker Frog.  Those are the ones Russ uses to catch those monster fish, I ordered a few online waiting for my package to arrive. Check them out they have great action and apparently Big Bama bass love em

lol I would have crashed seriously.

 

Funny story, kind of, from when I was in High School in NJ. Me and my friend frank's birthdays are a day apart mine is Nov 7th his is the 8th.  He just turned 17 and his dad got him a brand new pick up truck. We went to a party that Friday night. Next morning I wake up and I have a text message from frank and its a picture of him at the hospital.  So I called him and he tells me that he was driving home and out of the corner of his eye he saw something scurry across the top of his dash. He looked didn't notice anything and kept driving. All of a sudden he felt something on his hand and it was a massive spider, turned out to be a wolf spider. He's scared of them too so he told me he crashed his car on purpose in an attempt to kill the spider lol. Obviously that wasn't true but it was funny to hear him say that. It was the running joke for our senior year.

Yea if you watch the video the dog actually gets knocked out of the boat and the guy must have it by the leash because he drags it back in.

That makes no sense to me why would he bring his dog along fishing with him in a Kayak there's not that much room. I'd imagine it was his SO dog and he brought it along just in case a situation such as the one that he caught on video arises lol

 

But I don't think a dog should be on a yak a boat would be much better more room for the pup

November is going to be very limited because of day light savings time, won't be able to get out in the evenings on weekdays any more. I am going to have to be on MCS schedule and hit the ponds early morning with that extra sunlight we will be getting, I'm a wuss though I don't like the cold being in FL spoiled me don't have that NJ skin anymore lol


fishing user avatar1234567 reply : 

Done, me too!  Sieberts shakey head with a netbait t-mac 6.5 in sun perch.  I saw this fish bust on the surface and cast to it.  Before I could engage the reel  I saw the line moving off and set the hook.  Unofficially I had a couple 16 and 17's early in the month but did not document as I thought I'd get on em better with the weather cooling.  Next month should get better for us in the deep south.  This one was just a bit over 18.

Mine will be boring though since everything comes on the same frog just different color BORING

     It's amazing to me how big this simple tournament has become. It has spread to several states in the NE, here in FL of course, and now Caylub is working hard to start in Alabama. I volunteered 3 months ago to spearhead, or become a tournament director of sorts of this competition. The responsibility that I took on was to bring better structure and create an existing platform so that everyday anglers like ourselves could have a stage and proudly show off our catches in a friendly/competitive environment. What many do not know is that on a weekly and sometimes daily basis, I intentionally go and speak with new and existing BR members and build up our competition. Many of the existing participants that we have here today know this first hand because I personally reached out to you. You know who you are.

      Yes AK, there is a reason why I have your quotes up there. You and I had a significant disagreement very early in the month of the tact you were going use. You find it amusing to catch nice fish and purposely not report them to the very end. Here is why I disagree with your tact. All of us know the rules, and what our roles are. All of us catch fish and I will report to everyone on a daily and weekly basis everyone's  catches and results so that we have a bearing on how the competition is going. The top 10 have been battling for position for several weeks now. You, being one of them. You posted 20.5" 18.5" 20" 18" 18" all on Oct 11. Now on Oct 31, with hours of the competition being over, you post pics of a 22.5" 21" 20".  The 22.5" you claimed yesterday you caught 2 weeks ago!!  You have known all along what the standings have been, and today for the sake of fun you post these catches that place you at 104". Don't you think all of us would have liked to have known that?? What was the purpose of taking down everyone's data, so that a veteran player who knows better, comes in and screws it up in the sake of "fun". I call it unsportsmanlike, and dishonest.

     So I ask the top 9 who have been playing intently these last 4 weeks, is this fair? Withholding information and having us all believe one thing and so that AK has a "gotcha" moment?  My rule change is a simple one. Next month if you choose to play, you have 5 days to submit your pics. To avoid any "misunderstandings"

     As promised I will post the final numbers tomorrow.

I just posted my 5 and worked on trying to culling the rest. As you might be able to tell I am pretty active on this site but I use my iphone. When I upload pics I connect my phone to my laptop put pics in my file and then go to tinypic to change the size and then post... Just figured out that I can simply load my pics to my gallery and click that my media box and it will automatically insert the pics, I think haven't tried it.  May do that for now on.

 

Next month I will post one time at the end so it doesn't affect anything

It's all good dude but look at it like this, Lou is trying to get people on board and return, give aways etc. so keeping it a high standard is his goal and for us vets of the comp should be our goal too. I mean we still have fun, way more fun than the NE guys I don't even thing they say hi to eachother LOL, but still keep the integrity of the competition intact. You know what I mean.

 

And you know Lou probably spent as much time keeping track, helping the other comps out etc. as he did on the water this month. Hats off to him. :respect-051:

Yea us north guys have to deal with frost this time of year... I thought I left that back in NJ moved to the wrong part of FL.

 

But I can tell the fishing is picking up down south I follow a few people on YouTube from South FL and they are producing some amazing fish down there. Next few months us north guys will just be commenting and liking posts oppose to posting pictures.

 

With the new system that LGM wants to implement that will only improve things so everyone can have an idea of what is working and presentation. I will be sitting back jotting down baits making my Christmas list getting ready for the spawn.

I like the sound of that!  Same here with watching the vids, although alot of times youre just watching them winch in fish which is cool, but if more were explained on why they were fishing a certain spot, weather conditions, baits, etc....it would really help to get a better idea of what's going on.  

 

One excellent video is Mikeybalzzfishing called "Matted".  Mike goes super in depth of the spots he is fishing on Kissimmee and what he's doing when picking apart matts, ie. spot within a spot, depth baits, technique.  Most vids aren't even close to this informative but this one has it all.  Another one where he talks about what he's doing but not nearly as in depth as the last one is called, "Punching Extravaganza", where he explains he believes fish in Okeechobee are moving up to spawning staging areas and he's looking for big mama.  He also explains how's he working the bait, how the fish are biting it.  There needs to be more vids like these.

Its funny some videos I have watch of 10lb plus fish being caught people have the camera running and always "claim" they release it but there is no footage of that just the catch lol smh

I do like 90% of my fishing in the afternoons after work from around 4-8. The time change always sucks for me.

fishing user avatar1234567 reply : 

In the colder months down here, I've found the afternoon bite is better when the water temp has warmed a little all day.  A couple years ago I was out and the bite was horrible all morning, air temps started in the upper 30's.  By mid afternoon the fish were getting active on moving baits.

fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Alright, Im gonna have to pry into this little disagreement we have here. Honestly, if you want to just throw your catches out there in the end of the month instead of going along with the weekly thing, Im calling BS. I know that we are not here for money or prizes, but at that game, you have just taken all the fun out of this little comp. Now, Im not saying that its impossible that you don't catch fish all month, but then you do the last week or so, but really? You think all of us are that dumb to not catch that? Since I am going to try and implement the lures into the equation to help maybe get some kind of help to some that don't have the experience in fishing that some of us veterans have, you may want to be fair about your catches. If need be we could just implement a proof of date in the picture of the catch to keep that from happening as well. I mean come on, you got a whole week to load pics and whatnot. I really only get to go out on Sunday, and Lou was nice enough to extend to Monday night for the previous week. Don't tell me you don't have the time, because some of you fish like you don't even have jobs, lol. Lets be adults and fair about this friendly game we have going on, we don't need a bad seed, or this Southern Boy is gonna come and ring some necks :punch-2: , lol. We don't need to be worried about ninjas, or if you were even honest enough that you caught those yourself in the given time.

Well i got what i needed tonight!  got this 18" on a ribbit frog louisana craw color.  I think i needed 1.5" to jump a spot or two and this should cull one of my 16"s.  Only was out for about 30 min bc kids walking through the neighborhood near my pond kept asking me what  my costume was lol.

 Good for you Dsidle, you are a true competitor, your efforts paid off. I look forward to seeing you on board next month.


fishing user avatardsidle61 reply : 

yep ill be there. I think 90 is my highest total since i started a few months back, maybe i had 92 last month i dunno.  Lou maybe the first post on the next month you can post the top 10 in there as well as here.  That way if we get a new guy he can see what hes up against.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

Well, I couldn't wait. I am home alone with candy duty and the house is quiet. I was waiting for last second competitors and it paid off, Dsidle came in a little while ago and jumped up two spots. That's awesome.

 

This month has been one of the most exciting months we have had. We had 20 competitors where 16 posted catches. 7 individuals in our top 10 posted 90" or greater. That's unbelievable. We posted over 1300 conversations and had over 12,700 views from the last time I checked. We motivated another BR member, to spearhead another Bragging Rights thread to start in the state of Alabama. We are all part of something special here. I have been busy today introducing new members to our forum and a few have shown interest on coming on board with us.  Great job everybody!!

 

So enough talk. Here are the numbers. Please note, if you happen to post tonight, it's ok. I will correct the list and you will be recognized for your efforts.

 

1. AK: 22.5" 21" 20.5" 20" 20" = 104"

2. Rovingmutt: 22" 21" 20.5" 20" 18.5" = 102"

3. FSTR: 22" 21.5" 19.5" 19.5" 19" = 101.5"

4. Tightlines Jax: 20" 20" 20" 19.5" 18.5" = 98"

5. LMG: 23" 18" 18" 17.5" 17.5" = 94"

6. JaxBasser: 20.5" 18" 18" 17.75" 17.5" = 91.75"

7. Dsidle: 21" 18" 18" 17" 16" = 90"

8. Martin: 18.5" 18.5" 18" 17.5" 17" = 89.50"

9. CutlerJay: 21" 21" 18.5" 15" 13.5" = 89"

10. ZachD.: 16" 15" 15" 15" 14.5" = 75.50"

10. Bassinlou: 17.5" 16" 14.5" 14" 13.5" = 75.50"

Nice job guys. It was an interesting month. Looking forward to keeping up with you guys next month.


fishing user avatarSirSnookalot reply : 

Congratulations !!

 

Yesterday was my first day bass fishing with INTENT.  A young chap drying my car at the car wash sees my rods and tells me he was catching 10# bass right and left at canal near my home.  Knowing that it was an embellishment to say at the very least I was on trek to find this place.  First cast I nail one about 22 inches, a few added dinks and I go to another spot, catch a couple around 15", got tired and went home a took a nap, lol.  I thought I had shot of getting 100" in one day, I fell short but things are looking up.  Need to get back to the car wash to get better directions, don't think I had his spot.


fishing user avatarfishingator reply : 

Sweet! I never had much luck when I lived in boca :/. I was considering fishing down around work since daylight savings is going to give me limited time.


fishing user avatarDynoMyte reply : 

Aww bumped from the top ten, oh well there is always next month!
