I am indeed logged in, could it be that i'm a newish member?

this is what i'm seeing when i click on the member map feature... i don't have an area to the top right to type in.

I clicked your link and i can't quite grasp how to put a marker on, any advice?

I casted into a pretty thick bush, knowing full well i might get wrapped up and sure enough... as i'm holding my spool, backing up, and verbally kicking myself... wham! it jumped almost immediately, and ditched the hook... i didn't catch it, but my senko and hook were intact, i like to think she could see my pending anguish and decided to help out.

Thanks I've been using the strike king knock off senko to save my poor wallet. I'll give that a shot. We established these fish are bass and the big female was tailing in about eight inches of water, I posted an update rolo.

i apologize for not having a completed profile i'll get right on that, but im in central florida right outside of tampa. WRB gave me the courage to go out again, and these fish were all located at the northwest corner of the lake, there's still old beds from the tilapia so it's hard for me to make out what is theres, i had it in my head they'd be laying on top of them like a hen, not the case. they're swimming back and forth covering about a 5 ft radius. i casted for about an hour and nothing i'd overcast and reel back in to them, drop it on their heads, and finally i was able to get one taker after about an hour. there's this cow that's swimming relatively close to the above pictured fish, that i for the life of me could not cast to without sending it away. are there any techniques that would increase my chances? mind you we're going through a pretty extreme cold front right now(it feels like october outside), how long after the weather returns to normal should i wait to give it another shot?

thanks.

I'm fairly new to the sport, and while fishing a few neighborhood lakes i frequent today i noticed a couple fish on my way out that appeared to be bass rolling around on the shore. they were bass like in profile and had a black lateral line, but there bellies were uncommonly white... at one point the largest of the three was tailing like a redfish while the other two rolled around it i casted to them numerous times and spooked them, but less than five minutes later they were back. i've only been fishing for a few months now and any beds i saw i assumed belonged to the numerous talapia and i was under the impression that this would at the latest be the end of the spawning cycle. could they be spawning this late?
