Try line conditioner

They all end up like the last one....tossed in the bushes. After wrangling these lavish puppies all day, catching bass is a snoozefest. Ill drop more gas tomorrow and head back south.

We went out today, pops and I. I caught 4 and lost one and he caught his 1st which is the 1st one pictured. It was 3lbs 8oz. Had a blast. I also caught a nice sized bass which fought well in the weeds.

I workout to improve my muscularity and make women swoon. Fishing for bass doesnt equate to cardiovascular endurance or challenges. Maybe saltwater would be a different case.

Taking my pops out this weekend, hopefully we get something on the line

LR will last you a long time. I have a 7ft older model casting and it is still kicking

That April 29th venture sounds good. What size reel would you think is needed(2000 or 3000). I gave my dad my calico jack and president reel combo that I had before.

Which cranks are you using? Ive had great luck with kvd 1.5 and 2.5 in sexy shad color. Ive caught them on all types of line also and we're both in the same area. Have had good luck in development lakes catching bass and turtles unfortunately

I know a few people with them that love them, there also a few reviews on tw.com. Id try out the new JM Carbonlite with that discount as the dude above said

We'll take anything as long as we can get to it. I think we may buy some kayaks shortly, this may help some of the problems we run into. A kid at the park told me he hooked up with a 20lb snook at a park on indiantown road I believe and it pulled his kayak a small distance while trolling

I posted a video in other fish species, you can probably hit them up on youtube

When it gets too windy to cast into it Ill make sure the wind is to my back...but Im a shore fisherman

I used both zoom and stanley this weekend. The zoom are a bit light and not as noisy as the stanley. I prefer the gander, yum and rage toads for weight and noise. If I used the stanley hooks I would have jooked up with the fish that ripped the back legs off clean due to the positioning of them. I bought the zoom 5/0 frog hooks I may try this weekend also if weather and time permits

I need to hit up some of your spots with my pops, who is your age exactly, retired and looking to fish more.

reviews look good so far

One of my friends had to go #2 in the woods once, he wiped with leaves....poison ivy

try near the sawgrass xpwy off sample road in Coral Springs, thats where we caught the one in the pic...I can give you specifics if needed

Sunburn

I took my boy to the place where I catch and he ended up getting his first. 6lbs 1oz I struck out, I missed about 5 fish, one bit the frog in half...Ill try tomorrow possibly

I havent had any mishaps since falling into a lake trying to catch shiners when I was a small child, but my friends have gotten my tackle stuck in trees 14-20 feet high. Loaning them the tackle seems to be my stupidity...they are restricted to old unused rusty rattle traps and soft plastics. Ive also lost multiple lures trying to retrieve lures that broke off.....lost 3 additional lures trying to snag and recover 2 frogs that snapped off a bad spool of PP. I then went to walmart to buy boots thinking I could walk out to get them all only to find out it drops down to like 10 feet. I then paid a kid on a kayak 10 dollars to get my frogs back.....he got one and the other sunk...expensive day there. 4 lost lures (20 bucks) 10 dollars paid to kayaker New line needed after pulling the old line off in a rage 15 bucks Boots 25 bucks, but returned them

no love for zebco omniflex braid for 7 dollars a box =P

Try Boca canals since its not too far south of you, man its the closest thing to a salt water fight.Need a break from bass fishing. I caught one that was 3 ft long, I've only caught 3 and it was my biggest. I had to use my thumb to stop the spool from time to time. Once I got it out of the muck I wondered how I was going to take the hook out. The hooks barb was flattened so it hopped off and flopped back in. Caught one the next day and dragged it way back from the water. I missed a few and ended up catching more bass which isn't what I wanted. Fishing these on a medium rod is fun. My veritas would probably make it way easier. I have some cheap Walmart spinner baits i may use also, they are a buck each so if they last a few fish they may work out better than the frogs. I may go this evening and again tomorrow in the coral springs area near the sawgrass and west sample road.

x2 for the carbonlite combo, unless you need hella drag. I love mine (older gold reel/micro guide rod-$179) and plan to buy the newer soon($199 @ 5.9oz). Its soooooooo light, smooth and cast lures a long way.

going after some on the weekend

I tried fishing one with the m/h setup in my avatar on 65# braid...it was far from graceful....the yum rig will sit in my bag for a while
