Thanks for all the great replys everyone. It's awesome to see the different opinions

Not sure, I know florida doesn't really have seasons actually like the rest of the country lol. But we where doin pretty good on yum dingerz this weekend here and in the morning the temp was high 40s

Most of our ponds and lakes here are in the 3-7 foot range im guessing. Anything deeper I've been trying to throw a rooster tail. A lot of our ponds are grassy and mucky hard to throw spinnng baits in

That's what I'm stuck doing today she says if I wana play I gotta pay

I didn't know the weather would be so cold yesterdY morning when we made plans to pond hop. When I walked outside I didn't have high hopes but I guess they where still hungry lol. My co worker wanted to thro the towel in pretty early said we wouldn't get anything

I've done very well on dingerz and zoom trick worms. I've thrown super flukes a lil but not with any luck yet

Haha they look like fairly decent fish to me man. What where ya using a bait?

Awesome. I keep them in original bags, but saw some folks in other posts say they have dedicated boxes for plastics. So thought I'd ask

Do you guys keep your soft plastic ribbon tails and trick worms and such in the bags they came in in your tackl bag or boxes?

Thanks, had a great time. I honestly didn't think we'd do well with the weather so cold this morning

Best day yet bass fishing. Started the morning here on the gulf coast of fl at 48 degrees hooked 9 bass caught 7. All on trick worms, and yum dingerz. 4 of them at one pond on a rooster tail. Co worker caught 2 nice ones also. Caught some real small bass at another local pond on a beetle spin.

I'm using a black military style back pack I had since I had it and it has all the different pockets. I also don't own a boat so I'm on the bank but the area I live I. Has tons of ponds and lakes so I'm mobile this way. I carry all my soft plastics and a Plano box for the other stuff like rattle traps, rooster tails, beetle spins and such. I don't have a ton of baits yet

Chrome dont getcha home!

Yes fresh water spinning gear. I just got a new daiwa procyop 3000 combo. 7 foot medium power extra fast rod. And 15 pound braid no leader.

Awesome! Thankyou so much that's a great idea

Very nice! Glad to see fish still being caught down south

So when I fished salt water growing up we just pulled the line near the reel of we could do it with index finger and ring finger and thumb we where good lol. How are you guys setting drag on spinning combos with braid?

I'm in central fl on the gulf coast. But we are still fishing the ponds and small lakes through the lil cold fronts. Been awesome on trick worms, dingerz. Just gotta work everything deep and alow like stats. And enjoy the fishing. You may not haul in a ton of fiah but you'll get something

Oh man awesome to see some other pinellas guys. I'd love to fish with one of y'all. Or anyone for tht fact. I just started bass fishing crossed over from salt. I've got a couple decent lil spots but in suck to the bank lol

Culprit ribon tail, has done well for me here in Florida, even in the cooler months im stil getting hits on it

I've had good success lately with a pop and retrieve let it sink an pop again. Most of our ponds and lakes are heavy grassy debris bottoms. I fish trick worms, yum dingerz, and culprit ribbon tails the same

Just looked up the beetle spin im gonna grab a few colors and give it a try and see what I get. I really do need to explore more of the pond. I've always caught fish in the one area and stuck to it lol.

Well that's a possibility also. I've never really pan fished much except as a kid with worms lol

Yeah I can see the bite marks on the worm tail. It's deffinatly tail biters, and since I switched to braid I can feel every lil thing now. Now whether they are bass or not idk but I know that pond produces some small bass along with a few large ones. I find myself fishing that one area of the pond due to the hits. I probably need to venture around a lil to try for some bigger guys in the deep water

It's a public pond at a local community center. The fish there are hungry lol I've had them hit on watermelon seed, black and white trick worms, and red shad culprit ribbon tail worms. They won't hit rattle traps, spoons, or flukes or swim baits lol. It's a fun pond to fish I've had a few bigger ones 1-2 pounds all on trick worms yum dingerz where a no go also lol. Just casting out and a twitch and retrieve and pause for a few seconds I've fished it slow and fast. Just thought it was odd. Thanks for the help guys
