The Hawg Blog Is Online 2024


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply : 

The Hawg Blog is now online. Rob and I will be posting content frequently to the site. Check it often for South/Mid Florida bass fishing reports, product tutorials, tips/tricks, on-the-water videos, maybe even a salt water fishing or hunting video or two.

Rob and I have a trip coming up with Captain Steve Daniel on Okeechobee. There will be a lot of video from that one...you won't want to miss it.

Also check us out on you tube...

What does the Hawg handle do for you while fishing? Being a little longer surely helps reeling in.. looks nice.


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply : 

The longer length is especially nice for crankin applications...frogs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, etc. The extra length really adds a lot of power. We've got an elite series guy using the handle (not going to use his name because I don't want it construed as a sponsrship) and he uses it for flippin, as do many of the guys here. That extra power is nice for winching fish out of the nasty stuff.

Carbon fiber lets you go longer while reducing weight. I liken the comparison to steel shafts versus graphite shafts on a golf club. Hardly any steel shafted drivers anymore.

Mike looks like Luke is a fishing machine. Nice bass, keep them coming.


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply : 

Thanks Dwight! Luke turned seven on Saturday...for his birthday, he wanted to go fishing at Loxahatchee in the morning and on the golf course in the afternoon. I thought HE was supposed to get the present on his birthday...

Blog update (9-16-2012).

Loxahatchee tournament. 1st place: bocabasser!

Very cool site.....


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

I'll be out chasing salmonoids with mine tonight.....


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Gonna be using my Hawg Handles Oct 2, and 3rd for the FireFighter Classic on Lake O out of Clewiston to pull some Pigs out of the slop. These handles havent failed me yet, and have made my Shimano reels more of a dream to fish with ever since they were added. GET SOME!


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

I'am digging mine as well. My clients and You Tube subscribers are liking them too.


fishing user avatarSirSnookalot reply : 

Good fishing reports.......maybe some members don't read the Southeast reports, think this thread may get more looks elsewhere, like fishing reports or the general section. Better exposure for the advertisers too, a positive for their products.


fishing user avatarSam reply : 

If I caught bass that size in Virginia I would probably have a coronary!

We have Florida strain bass in the Chickahominy and James River but they don't look like the ones you catch.

It is great seeing pics of the big girls and thanks for creating your blog. One day I hope to fish the Disney ponds and canals plus the Okie.

Thanks for creating a very interesting site.


fishing user avatarSouth FLA reply : 

If you haven't seen my post on other fishing species I hawged this beauty in last weekend. The extra length give more leverage and is more comfortable to fish with, the knobs are the best part, not little slippery paddles.

Glad you enjoy it, Sam.

There's a young guy who posts here who catches some awesome sized bass out of Virginia. 12-13lbs...much bigger than any bass I've seen come from South Florida. We are certainly blessed though...we have some tremendous fisheries in South/Mid Florida that pump out big numbers of 5-8lb bass....with an occasional 9 or 10. Being able to fish in T-shirt/shorts in January is a nice bonus.

Hooked up on the radio....on the water, not so much!

fishing user avatarSoFlaBassAddict reply : 

Very cool, guys. Glad to see things keep going well for you. I had a feeling it would when Mike showed me that initial prototype a while back. Congrats you two. Looking forward to seeing what's coming in the future.


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply :

fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

WTG Mike. Great pb for you both.


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Way to go Mike! Alot of guys got shut out in the cold snap.


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply : 

Lox Rox!

Very tough conditions yesterday at Loxahatchee...cold, sunny, high pressure, very windy.

Put together a little something though. Caught about 30fish, including one about 5lb. Pitching a Rage Tail Space Monkey to thicker cover was the ticket for the bigger fish. Details on the blog.

Took a break from the bass today, and went after some hard fighting saltwater fish.

Now you're talkin, Mike! Bet he had an absolute blast catching that one! One of the harder fighting fish swimming down here.

East Side massacre

 

Fishing is lights out right now on Okeechobee's east side.


fishing user avatarGotfishyfingers? reply : 

Nice Report!!!


fishing user avatarJayD reply : 

Fished their the same day right outside of the hole and did pretty good. It was like a parade of boats coming and going out of the hole.


fishing user avatarpiscicidal reply : 

Yeah, very popular spot now.  Supposedly there were thirty boats in there on Saturday.  Surprised they didn't have a ticket machine there with a "Now Serving:" sign!


fishing user avatarCaptain Shane Procell reply : 

Thats a sick report!


fishing user avatartopwaterrob reply : 

As usual great write up.....

Catching bass bigger than your kids' birth weight on Father's Day...priceless.
