Power pro is garbage, everytime I go to it all I do is break off. Buy Sufix 832 in 50 lb to Sling frogs and 65 for the slop , mats and heavy cover. Izorline is fantastic and stren sonic braid is good too.

Going to Okeechobee on my own for the first time ever, going with a buddy that's got an older nitro. What's the bite been like? Where they biting? Not asking for specific spots, just a good area to start on my own and get a feel of the big lake. I'll pass on my findings and info on Sunday or Monday. Maybe I'll go back out on Sunday

I fished mike lendls flip fest tournament as well last Saturday out of a borrowed early 90s 19 nitro, ended up 7th with 20.67 after a 2 dead fish penalties. (Unfortunately a dink in the well got stuck in the sucker for the recirculator and cut the oxygen levels for at least one cycle. And that was enough to send two fish belly up ) I Fished right out front but top 2 ran down l67 in search or clear water and found it, to the tune of 31plus (forssell/sayler) and 28 plus(deboliac/Sloan). Good guys though and they all worked for their finishes, even thouhj it seems forrsell always bangs out 30 plus lbs

I'm fishing the tourny with a good buddy if mine tmm. Well see how i stack up

Anybody been to holiday lately? I've been too busy with work and school to go.

Fished on Sunday with Ricky deboliac out of holiday park for a KOTG club tourney. Super cool guy and great fisherman, we had 23.56 lbs, which would have been good for second, we were assessed penalties that knocked us down to 5/6 but it was still a great day. We had two 6+ class fish that were on both our lines but stuff happens and they didn't come in the boat. That's part of the game. I also had a 5/6 eat my jig trailer off in front of my face but what can u do. Flipping bite was on in the only major part of the system left to fish. Run around till you find better looking water and flip. You may run across the last of the 30lb canal bags.

Vanish has to be the biggest trash I've ever seen

Hey guys, heading back to the park today for the first time since my last post, apparently the waters come up and the waters muddy from what you guys are writing.. Am I better off fishing the north canal that runs to the alley?

Idk broke a biggun off Friday and backed the drag off a little than a 5 bit and when I went to set the drag slipped on it and....yeah lol

Idk man but I'm goin out tmm, hopefully the sunshine helps out

I'm from Miami and we have peas everywhere so I'm not gonna target them, wouldn't mind to see a clown knife fish though. And Hb osbourne? Looks pretty nice from google earth. My goal is an 18 lb limit

Just would like to hear if the lakes fishing good and even worth the 2 hrs of driving up

Hey guys, thinking of heading up to lake Ida one day this weekend, all I hear is that the lake is alright and the canals are very productive, I would think in the lake that there would be a shallow bite in the morning with chatterbaits, bomber 2As, frogs, big ezs etc, and the fish pull off to the deeper grass beds where I can deep crank or throw a trap and a ten inch worm. Am I far off on that? I also hear that lake becomes a zoo after 11am though

Yesterday was my worst day out there yet.... 2 2lbers and an almost 4 lber, the flipping bite is hard to do when it's slick cause these fish are so wary of the trolling motor they spook upto 20 yds away from the boat. Had to throw chatterbaits, topwaters but only short strikes and rolls, except for (2) 2 lbers. Regardless these fish I think are really pressured but then again I fish the same banks every time, time to was north next time...
