Bass bite is definately down in north Florida. But i've benn hitting the Intra-Coastal waterway in jax and doin ok ive caught a few flounder specks red and hooked a few good lady fish... but live shrimp will definately work too. i saw about 100 reds feeding in low tide on shrimp but didnt have any live shrimp to fish with.. The freshwater bite is down but the salt is still looking good for you guys up in jax that wanna try it give it a go! My main bait of choice for salt and fresh is the tsunami blue shad swim bait! Ive caught alot of bass on it (not lately tho) and lately the red, tout and flounder have been lovin em. I call it my fish slayer check it out!

Yea the bite hasnt been very good lately. i wanna say it was the july 3rd was when i went out to a pond last and i caught 6 small ones less than 12 inches but the big boys are hidin! I also made a trip down to rodman reservoir in palatka on sunday with a buddy in his boat and didnt get one bight all day.. and rodman is known for its giant bass and good fishing but the water was way up since last time i went... I hit it back in april and caught about 14 in two days and got in a nice 6 lber. Guess since the waters way up and its so hot its gonna be some rough fishin for awhile!

Congrats Man!

I wont be back till monday but def gonna do some fishin as soon as i pull in! Where"s the publix pond i have a small kayak i might go hit it up if thats cool! hopefully its not to far from the house. And about those senk style worms your usin could you send me tha name also. I just bout some yum senkos but def would like to try some cheaper ones? Hopefully the bite is good when i get back!

there are no fishing signs on one side of the pond but thats because an apt complex put the signs up for liability purposes im guessin, they say somethin about no fishing or feeding wildlife snakes gators... blah blah blah,,, but there is a turn right before bco and right after bonos bbq and i trail that everyone drives theyre vehicles back in on the back side and there are no signs on that side ! good luck... I've always had my best luck on plastic worms in there but that guy that caught the 8 was usin a white spinner bait!

Yea there are alot of off Gate and JTB There is a good one behind black creek outfitters across from BJ's where you ate and i saw a guy catch an 8 out of there about 2 months ago and ive caught a few 4's.. there is a small wooden dock back there but you cant fish from it during BCO's working hrs because they use the pond to demo kayaks... Overall good place thought... Also there is a good looking one right by the town center called big island swamp you can clearly see it on google maps but unfortunately it has posted signs all around it.... but I talked to a guy that has lived here his whole life and he said the majority of these ponds have been here almost 20 yrs. The BCO pond is actually there because of a natural spring that feeds it... Anyways hope that helps yall out a lil if you come over this way!

Ive been trying from about 4 till dark in my ponds and still nothing... I'm baffled ..... everything that used to work doesnt now... i leave on wednesday and will be gone to monday but if you want when i get back i can show you a few ponds.... One of my favorites is on western lake road its a really big pond and has produced alot of fish for me until recently i went a few days ago any hooked one but my personal best was 14 catches out of about 20 i hooked in about 3 hr time and all around 2 lbs but that was when the water was real low and i didnt see alot of small fish but now i see alot of baby bass and bream so im guessin there isnt a shortage of food now... idk but i gotta figure something out.. ive talked to some ppl that said 10 and 12 lbers have been caught out of there and i believe it the pond has been there 20 or so yrs...

Ive been here a lil over a yr but i was gone on deployment for six months so ive only been fishin freshwater around here since about february.

whats up guys im new to the forums. My original ? i was gonna ask was if yall have been catchin any since all the rain but this forum answered that lol. Before the rains i was tearin em up in my ponds i fish but now my ponds have stopped biting.... my ponds gained alot of water and are really clear and im seein alot of baby bass and bream now... i was also thinking that since its getting hotter now maybe theyve gon deeper? maybe thats why im not gettin the amount of catches i was... i have a couple ponds around baymeadows that ive caught between 10 and 20 a trip in but now im lucky to get one or two... Any insight to my problem would be much appreciated. And good catches btw AK Ive only found one pond aroun that consistently produced nice fish then i got told i couldnt fish there anymore... I caught the two hogs in my profile pic there plus another 6. im workin on gettin written permission to fish there again, well hope to here from yall soon!
