Im probably going to catch some cichlids or buy some shiners and go target peas, tarpon and snook this weekend.

One of my friends fishes the tournaments and I didn't realize there was another one that just past until another member posted about it. I asked my friend how it went and he said people are complaining that there aren't many big snakeheads around. The tournaments are monthly and for "population control" but now "I have heard" that they may cut the schedule of them down a bit to help with the numbers and fish size for the tournament. I'm just stating what was told to me. It seems counterproductive to the original purpose of "population control" if true, but I guess when enough people start to complain, stop paying to play, things may have to be adjusted from a financial and enjoyment standpoint. People have been complaining about the normal winners that seem to be always winning. The guys catching giants because they know all the good spots from fishing everyday. I wonder what was expected if you have that many numbers of anglers coming out to the tournaments killing 100s at a time when plentiful, the daily anglers out there killing them all year alongside the FWC's normal sweeps. Usually the spawn is easy pickins but the fry get clobbered by bass once the adults are gone, Ive witnessed this 1st hand. Ive seen less spawning pairs than I normally do in the normal places, maybe they have relocated to a private resort. Now with the popularity of catching them it seems more people are fishing for them, many catch and release but it seems many more still kill them. You have to go into gated communities and less traveled/ accessible areas many times to catch a few. Some days we may get lucky and catch a bunch but the normal spots have become over fished. Has anyone else noticed the same trend or is it just me? I may start my own no kill tournament one day if allowed which would need volunteers to be with teams to officially weigh, measure each fish and also take pics. Everything can be tallied up at the end of the day....If I were President yessir

sexy shad kvd 1.5 but the 1.0 seems just as or more effective at times

88 degrees at 7:15pm

I have both, the carbonlite grip is more comfortable to me. The *** has a longer warranty and looks stunning Both great rods tho cant go wrong either way and having both would be even better

They were closing out the old ci4 for 79 at DSG to make way for the new one. Thanks for the review, must be good for you to liquidate that

The 7ft6 Heavy action rod is so light weight in feel, its crazy. I plan to get one of these eventually, I wish I got one instead of the 7 mh carbonlite since I have so many of that type of rod.

Send the packages to your girlfriends house, problem solved

trilene knot, almost zero tag end waste most times

I have a Koppers with over 50+ bass and snakehead on it combined. Its been glued numerous times and it had to be retired after I broke off a big snakehead at the bank. I got the frog back but the snakehead took the hooks. Your opening pic actually looks way more worn that my frog looks. edit here it is

Rarely and if I do its battered and fried. Id like to eat it more tho(taste isnt my fav)

I smell like stinkor (He-Man)

Its crazy, a friend of mine told me they tried to rob him at the pier, it was late but there were tons of other people there. Trouble will sometimes find you when you arent even looking for it, Ive been in a few incidents myself unfortunately. Gators seem to be the least of the problems we have these days.

I havent fished either but if the price is the same and both have good actions, Id pick the daiwa based on a 5yr warranty vs no warranty....Im not sure what the replacement cost is if any but that would be a factor for me

Its hot, slow, water levels keep fluctuating from rain n drain.....oh yeah its hot. My bank fishing areas have been a chore to fish. Hopefully Ill have a boat soon. Ive been watching more fishing clips on youtube that actually attempting to fish the past few weeks. I've switched over to wading salt water a bit, even if its slow Im actually swimming somewhat so its not that bad.

I havent used mine in a bit but it did catch many good fish. I used it as is, walking it with slow cadence and pauses.

We went on a drift boat before my friend got married. It was horrible. We were anchored and the seas were so rough. 95% of us were sick on the boat including other fishermen. The boat that came back earlier was full of HS kids and everyone got sick. Supposedly it was 14 foot seas in the morning. I was also on a cruise ship with a broken stabilizer, that wasn't fun.

Bacon grease... hands smell like honey maple rather than fish. I almost ate my fingers.

I believe tackle warehouse may be carrying them soon. Try calling them.

My wallet has plenty of room for $50 dollars tho

Yes, all my spinning reels have braid as well as almost everyone I know that fishes in So Fla. Both fresh and salt although some of the salt guys will use mono on occasion (in salt water).

Someone here had a similar thing happen to their Revo Premier spinning reel but they said they never damaged it. Maybe the foot was knicked. Your president looks worked and seems to have more scratches than a DJ Competition Email pure fishing, they may take care of it even out of warranty. Unlike you, I have nothing to brag about in the bragging rights thread.

I caught a 3.5lb bass and this lady was screaming you're going to kill it, its out of the water. At the same time I was about to release it, a guy drives by yelling, nooooooooooo dont put it back yet, I want to see the fish. It was hilarious, she got mad and slammed her sliding door shut. The guy then showed me some huge bass he caught on bluegills and bream. 7 and 10lbs in weight as well as a huge snook.

I had awesome success on the woolee bullee in black and red flake on jigs. I caught 9 in one day and I've never caught fish in that number on a jig. If I hit 3 I'm dancing.
