Well to sum it up! IT was POOPY today. We launched at kenwood fished the canal, fished the stump field, fished everything that looked like it may work , tried c rigged worms, t rigged worms, frogs, cranks etc..... Im lost we didnt even get a bite. I saw a ton of big mullet, and huge Gar, andthats about it.

Any luck in Rodman of late i want to go down there tommorow early.

Hows Rodman been of late im looking for a place to fish monday morning any tips ? -Randy

Last i heard there was a fish kill from all the rain? Anyone been? Everything back to normal?

I dont however i do Rub it under one armpit for luck! JK I saw last weekend on a Bill Dance Fishing show on VS. That kissing the fish can swap Bacteria or something and actually make you or the fish sick? Interesting. I do carry a conversation with the fish all though brief i love it.

Nice! Looks i bet you were struggling to hold that big sucker 1 handed haha.. I long for a fish like that ! I bet it was a battle !

closer to the boat ramp.

yeah mostly... where we got most of the fish. Early on we hit some peppergrass matts little closer in. In about 5 ft of water.

Yeah it was the first time ive caught fish on any kind of crank bait. We were using firetiger mostly but i caught some on a purple silver aruku shad and some on a black and silver x rap. Carolina rigged june bug curly tail worm, i started the morning with 2 on my rage tail toads i love those! I was running them through some pepper grass matts.

YEah its Sampson i guess the subject keeps making my brain want to type rodman! Anyhow its a nice place i cant wait to go back.

Well i had a blast on our trip to Sampson it was a tough day compared to the prior days there.We ended up with about 25 fish quite a bit 3.5 pound range with the biggest caught ringing 4 and a quarter. I had one monster hit that broke my 14 lb fleurocarbon leader in half and lost my repala suspending dive bait i think it was an x rap but it was my favorite!!!! We caught 2 gars one being ggigantic!!! and 1 pickeral also. I was amazed at the fish in there they were beautiful and healthly looking. The water was a little merkier than normal with all the rain. I came out of the trip with confidence in crank baits, and fishing away from the shore. Im ready to go back!! Preston is a hell of a guy and has lots of stories.

Im excited! ive never been to sampson even though im from Starke

looks like we are going to be heading over to Gatr's home lake! And my hometown. Sampson lake. We left it up to Preston after talking about the Tanic acid ordeal, and he picked Sampson. I guess he just fished it yesterday and he said he killed them like 70 fish. 2 -4 lbs and some bigger that the father n son he took didnt set the hook in well enough and they got off. So im looking forward to it i was hopeing for Rodman but stuff happens! And any day fishing is better than a good days work! Although he said he was ripping them up on cranks i guess fire tiger color. They said they had not much luck with rubber worms.

Well, YEah that would defeat my purpose of trying to learn the area if its going to be screwy. Any alternate places near there? -Randy

Well im excited come sunday i will be heading to Rodman with 2 other firends. At the recommendation of a person on here we hired PReston Clark to guide our trip Sunday im very eager !! I'll let you guys know how it went.

Well i guess i should take a trip to stick marsh or something then. Ill just give rodman a go without the guide and see if i can catchsomething.

huh?

Thats the only name i could come up with thanks...Ill shoot him an email.

GATR. How is sampson doing? The one weekend i went to go there it rained andthunderstormed i havnt even been able to stop in yet. Did these rains bring the water level up quite abit?

Rodman or Stick Marsh? Which one would be better?

I am thinking of taking a guided trip to Rodman next month. Does anyone have any recomendations? I am open to surrounding areas as well. But i would prefer rodman because i can fish there more frequently. There will probably be 3 people fishing.
