Florida Bragging Rights, Take 3, July 1St - 31St

[DynoMyte]

Im not sure. I think I made it just over 100". I havent really had much time to get into it very well this month. Pretty sure you got it again lol. Im getting into a bass club to do some tourney fishing too soon, so that might pressure more big fish up comming months >:-)

not to thread jack but what club are you joining?  i have been looking at some of the clubs around south florida and thought it might be cool to sign on so i could be a co-angler and maybe get some experience. getting out on a boat would be a plus too.

Dynomyte, welcome aboard. I am curious how many thread stalkers are out there following this thread. It will be cool if we had more people get on board. It's fun with the people who are currently participating but I am sure there are many more out there who want to "play" sort of speak. For everyone else reading, are we having an August competition?? If so, I do not want any ninjas to appear. Meaning people just come out of nowhere and want to play. Play is open to anyone in Florida, however I feel, and the rest of you please chime in, that you have to announce your intention to play. Also, keep in mind this is a sharing and learning competition. Participants have to share general region, (not your "spot" unless you want to) and time of day. I find the sharing of baits and techniques are helpful too. Current participants, share your input and let us know if what I mentioned makes sense. Lastly, I gotta say. I had a blast this month. Yes, it was extremely hot, tough, frustrating, challenging, but finally fun. You guys made me get out of my comfort zone and try new locations. I got kicked out of the best spot  but either way I picked up new ideas. Thanks for helping me grow as a fisherman. I still have a lot to learn and share. Looking forward to next month. 

 

..... and AK you have a bullseye on your back...... lol. Great job this month. Congrats if you win.

Yeah Lou that sounds good. I am in for August tho 32" this month pretty might as well stayed home.

[AK-Jax86]

I agree with everything you said Lou 100%! Thanks for the early congrats but anything could happen in the next couple days.

This friendly competition makes fishing much more fun for me and when you miss those big ones it stays with you much longer lol. I like seeing what people are catching and how they caught them. This thread brings us all together like our own bass club. That's what we should call it Florida Bass Club part 4.

I will post my 5 fish at some point tomorrow, I got some nice ones my pics don't do em justice

[AK-Jax86]

One morning when you have some time you should come out to the golf course with me and do some fishing it's right off the 95s exit so it's 5 or 10 mins from you

[AK-Jax86]

Czar has a head camera he is gonna start bringing out so now all these big fish and hooking alligator stories I post will be documented with proof lol

well since i started the last two, i might as well start a 3rd one

 

i think the rules will be the same, top 5 lengths win. i have no problem with ninjas jumping half way through with 5 fish that make us all roll into fetal position and suck thumbs LOL maybe a newcomer will keep us on our toes! the more people the better! sharing time of day, general location, lure is all fine with me, but not a necessity of course; some keep their cards closer to their chest and that's fine with me

 

in 3 days i'll fire up the August tournament...

 

until then, i have 3 days left to show AK-NJ1986 who boss is

I like the name of the club, what about Florida Bragging Club? I looked it up, Alex_bassman came up with the idea originally, I have not seen him post for a while but look how long his idea has been running for.

[BassinLou]

I tell you what August is going to be interesting. It's going to be HOT and water levels down here in the South are HIGH. Not the best of combo's.

Yea I like that Florida Bragging Club (round 4)

It would be cool if more people participated. I bet they secretly have the intention too but just haven't caught anything worth posting. I guarantee by spawn this competition will look like a mini bassmasters tournament ha.

Like you said Lou August is going to be rough!!! It was already too hot in July, and August is going to be hotter and the fishing tougher. But as usual it will make for a fun competition

u talking about off 210 or next exit down at world of golf?

[AK-Jax86]

210 that's the exit right after yours

[AK-Jax86]

And that one pond I told you about with the gate in a PM on old saiNT Augustine road is next to this little ghetto gas station.

But the gate has been locked ever since that one day I fished there and missed all of those big fish. Whenever I am by there I always check to see if the gate is locked or not.

Figures I find a nice spot that's close and that's ideal for how I like to fish and I can't regularly access it.

I was looking at some houses that way, I know that area pretty well. There are 3 there about 12-14 yrs old according to google earth. I know the two on the left(coming from 95) pretty good.

Yeah I only fished a few spots out that way. I fished this one pond that is on the road the Waffle House is on. There are two ponds one in the front by the road and one all the way in the back that you can not get too. It has an abandoned dock probably was someone's personal honey hole but it's impossible to get to. I never caught anything out there first time I took Czar there he pulled out 2 or 3 small ones. Then I fished the golf course ponds with tremendous success. And the publix complex on 210 there a community back there that I fished the one pond by the clubhouse. I caught a few biggest being 3. But I have seen some nice sized fish swimming around in there in the range of 7lbs

Where are these other ponds that you know, you can PM me if you want

[BP10]

[AK-Jax86]

I never fished them, just been in the area of them couple golf courses, they r opposite direction from work so I don't really have a chance to check them out.

[BP10]

not sure what u mean by hollow body but i doubt these are its all soft plastic. these the only frogs i have ever used. i use a 2 or 3 size worm hook for them  the bigger ones i have i would use a 4 or 5 size .   you will love these im pretty sure of it 

[BassinLou]

AK, those are not hollow body frogs, the frogs that  BP10 is offering are like the zoom horny toads or rage toads. They are designed to be buzzed on top of the water. You will like them. The strikes are as vicious because the bass has to chase the frog down. If you don't like them, I will take them off your hands.
