in florida, you do not need those big expensive swimbaits. yes they work, and they will catch hogs, but skinny dippers and big ez's are the best swimbaits for florida. all of the others mentioned are good, but the dipper and ez's are inexpensive and highly effective. i have a couple of matt's lures and i have caught fish with them, but it sure does suck when you catch a 3 pounder and it destroys the bait that costs $25. jmo
People have been catching quality fish in large numbers WAY BEFORE Nanu-Nanu-Fil came out. Stop chasing the ellusive "catch all bait/line" and just learn how to use what you got. Has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe it isn't the lines fault you didn't catch any fish.
I have spooned a few times in the summer probing deeper water structure after the spawn. Deeper water is 25-40 feet. I use mostly hopkins & northland buck shot rattle spoons. I do change out the hooks on the hopkins to a larger size & usually use triple grips on the spoons. Spoon jigging is mostly a vertical presentation for me with a mostly stationary boat or slow drifting boat not exceeding 1 mph on the gps. Faster than that you lose the vertical technique even with a heavier spoon. Spoon jigging does work. My biggest problem is keeping the sheephead off . I probably catch two sheepies for every smallie using this technique. I drop the spoon down on semi slack line until I fell bottom contact. Then I jig with one to two foot hops trying to feel for the bite on the descent. I always use 10lb or 20lb braid with a mono leader made from 12lb maxima ultra green. Much better than fc for me. Very abrasive resistant & ties up good knots without having to baby it like floro. Most fish are hooked on the up sweep. I hold my rod by the reel seat but tuck the rear handle under my forearm at all times. This helps distribute the shock of a bigger fish grabbing your spoon while saving your wrist. Any fish over 5lbs gets your attention pretty quick when that weight is suddenly there. Jigging with spoons is a lot of fun when you are over fish. It is boring as h when you are not. With smallies they sometime want a slower jigging speed & sometimes a much faster speed between pumps. When they are aggressive they will hit the spoon on the drop before it hits bottom. Sometimes they will follow the spoon up as your reeling up to start over. Changing speed is the biggest trigger for those curious smallies. Actually changing speed or cadence or rhythm as Catt likes to call it is the best trigger you can use for increasing your quantity & quality of smallies caught.
It could be a training gun, but her gri is horrible.
I don't know if the pic's are of real officers, but it was meant as a joke. I guess yall never seen sloppy, overweight police officers before.
What bothers me are people who complain of silly little typos instead of have the nuts to go straight to the source and let them (me) know they made a mistake.
Jeff Dunham is probably the worst comedian since Carlos Mencia or the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. I mean, I dont get it . Puppets? Really? Not funny. Its so gimmicky it makes me nauseous....
