Bring them on Monday/Tuesday this is the place I had the best success with them

Welcome to the site! When I lived in Winchester redwing black birds were always close to the reeds around the ponds

It varies. Strike zone on beaches has more high end or pro stuff but limited selection. They also sell bitters bait. Academy has grande bass and big bite bait stuff. Dicks is good well rounded has some good sales. That is where I got the incredi craws. Gander is ok, I usually on get sale stuff there. But everything on sale I bought has produced and they are more funky of colors than usual lol Walmart for hard baits sometimes you can get spooks, rebel minnows for $3 and mirrolure are a couple bucks cheaper.

I will check that website out.

I like the incredi craws for that. They have been a good bait.

Yeah the one in Orlando has limited styles of what they stock, EZ otter and flappin shad are all I seen. Gambler has their own site look there to see all the colors and baits. their swim jigs are nice too. or the typical TW type sites carry the popular items.

Online or bps

Try the paddle tail worms and flappin shad too

Auto correct and web filters has ways of putting a positive spin on even snow! Lol

I like gamblers stuff, haven't tried the EZ yet though. Just isn't really my style of fishing. I was talking to Lou about picking some up. But their ribbon tails and other products are just as good too!

It may be a fox even though is says donkey.....

Then I would look around on articles/youtube or in the lure section of this site on different ways to work them(meaning retrieve ie hops, sweeps dragging etc.) See if you pick up any new ideas you haven't tried yet. And remember if you think your going slow and don't get bit...slow down even more! Something I forget all the time and pay with the ol skunker.

Trick worms either Texas rigged or weightless Weightless can be on top with more of a jerk retrieve or slow roll it....centipede I do Texas with a super light weight or split shot/mojo rig or wacky rigged. And the lizard always Texas rigged for me.

Yeah I didn't have much luck at first with ribbon tails but then I read a little and tried harder now they are a staple....also when the going gets slower or in the summer try smaller stuff like a centipede or trick worm. Brushhogs and craws texas rigged are a good change of pace too. And you cannot forget a lizard. Sometimes it helps to do the opposite of what guys are throwing and not catching and to do the same thing if they are catching. LOL

AK is opposite me LOL he is a power fisher while I use more slow plastics. Trick worms, brush hogs, craws, ribbontails, lizards, rattlesnakes all texas rigged with light weight, 1/16 up to 1/4...then some weightless like senkos, rattlesnakes and trick worms. flukes too. Vibe worms, horny toads or buzzbaits on top. I will use lipless cranks, pop-rs and walk the dog baits in spring and early summer. Started with the frog cuz of Lou and LMG...booyah padcrasher. just started with jigs, my buddy has done well on them so I figured I would joing the party. Just started with spinnerbaits too. I throw cranks and jerkbait ocasionally.

Sent you a PM....Yeah I sometimes if not sure I scope it out first. I stay away from anything with a sign no matter what. Some of the residential areas can post small tricky ones. But most places, especially industrial and Business parks are cool.

It depends. Most of the time not. You just move to the area?

Check out the older threads on this subject. There is at least 2....you will find what you need.

Just curious what are you primary baits you are throwing?

No google earth right now that near animal control and the botanical gardens?

How bout walsingham reseviour? Either of u fish that, has a park and ramp.

Lake Seminole parks has like 4 ponds on it you might wanna try that too

While I am panning around recalling the area look at intx of 43rd st and 22 ave couple ponds there that are connected by a box culvert. Looks like access from a few sides without houses. Street parking.

After thinking there is also crescent lake on 22nd ave but that is obvious. One that might be good is the park on 13 ave n right by 275. Google earth it. Been there a couple times the had up signs about fish and the lake. Worth a shot, you can walk the entire thing and it is deep

Have u tried sawgrass park? On 62nd going from 9th just under 275 on the right. I never fished it when I lived there but there are a couple ponds and canals then the huge lake. We used to walk the trails all the time tho. Gators and otters so must be bass. I assume u can't fish from the board walk but the pond adjacent to the parking and walk the canal???
