This may be my chance to catch up to fstr, ak, and czar. Quote
CountBassula Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Yea man I pray I run into that dorky wanna be cop. It's going to be hard taking him serious especially if he tries to take my picture lol. If e gave you the benefit of the doubt then he will prob just call the real police on me ha. I was fishing the other day and someone called the cops since it was private property. The cop approached me and was really cool about it, he even told me about spots that were close that he has seen people fish. It seems like rent a cops take their job WAYYY more seriously than the real ones, who have more important things to deal with than to harass people who are fishing not bothering anyone  man you have no idea how many stink eyes i get fishing my favorite spot near my house. i'm walking along the easement, not on private property, and people still give me trouble Quote

This may be my chance to catch up to fstr, ak, and czar. I generally try to find ponds in residential communities, parks, office complexes, and golf courses that have been there for many years at least 10. MCS put me onto that last year me and czar fish with this guy who has access to Orange Park Country Club and those ponds have been there since the 70's the guy was saying. Only problem is we can only go when he has time since its restricted access. But he has caught tons of fish over 6lbs and 15 that exceed 10lbs all this year!! Orange park has some ponds that are ancient and hold some monster fish. He was showing me pics of fish he caught around Orange Park and it makes the fish I think are big that I caught look like guppies lol. Quote

Â I know who you are talking about. He was on here for a minute, him and Jaxbasser posted up some of their trips. Â You and Czar ever fish that one pond near Argyle I told him about? Hit me in a PM the guy who told me about it lived in jax for 30 yrs and moved to the west coast, I don't fish over there because of time and the drive is too far. He caught and released an 11 # and a couple 8 # and the pond is small, talking about an acre or less. Â Quote
Super User MCS Posted July 17, 2013 Super User Posted July 17, 2013 man you have no idea how many stink eyes i get fishing my favorite spot near my house. i'm walking along the easement, not on private property, and people still give me trouble  Because people have no clue. They don't know what an easement is, their realtor probably told them they own to the water or some cases they think they own the water.LOL Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted July 17, 2013 Super User Posted July 17, 2013 Old ponds are treasure mines. Big fish reside there. MCS good luck tomorrow. Bass Czar you are on a rampage. You guys cannot imagine how bad I want to be fishing. I am on a family vacation and I am reading all these catches. Regardless, I would be stuck anyways. South FL is being pounded by rain. That means unfortunately the Everglades is out of commission for several months. These tourneys may force me to find new waters. THANKS GUYS Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted July 17, 2013 Super User Posted July 17, 2013 Whenever the water rises and it spills over the banks, the water returns into the marshes and flats. Accessibility, becomes very limited to boats. If you have an Airboat you are in business. Martin have you ever questioned why the glades is the hotspot for bass fishing in the Spring? The reason is, because besides bass spawning, the water levels are at there lowest and the fish are contained in the canals. Quote

Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 18, 2013 Super User Posted July 18, 2013 I caught a dink today Nice combo what did u catch it on? Craw type bait Quote
Diggy Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Nice combo what did u catch it on? Craw type bait Thanks, Its zoom lizard but the color changed from mixing with other baits. I think it was supposed to be  junebug. Quote
Super User MCS Posted July 18, 2013 Super User Posted July 18, 2013 New pond, no luck. looks like a future spot, buddy managed one 12 incher. On a brightside my buddy let me throw with a older version of the biatcaster I picked up. Not bad, was getting the thumbing down, he had it tuned just right though. no major backlashes I was nervous about learning. Switching the hands was the hardest part. Quote
CountBassula Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks, Its zoom lizard but the color changed from mixing with other baits. I think it was supposed to be  junebug.  LOL! i have a little go to plastic bag with different baits, and the other day colors from a red worm leaked onto green lizards, made them look freaky awesome! like some super painted custom bait! oh and they did catch fish Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted July 18, 2013 Super User Posted July 18, 2013 Mike, once you get the thumbing part down on the bait caster you will start seeing your arsenal of rods and reels increase. I picked up baitcasting when I was in my late to mid 20's and it has changed the way I fish dramatically. Do not get me wrong, spinners have their place in bass fishing, however several applications are superior in my opinion with a b/c. Trust me, once you get past the learning curve, there's nothing like stickin a pig with a b/c when your froggin. Good Luck. Keep at it. 2 Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 18, 2013 Super User Posted July 18, 2013 Went to the golf course today and got 9 and missed a bunch on the hookset. 19" (3) 17" (2) 16" and the others didn't bother to measure. I was using a black with red flake ribbit frog. I was talking to this golfer who came up to me I had my frog sitting about 2 feet off shore for a good 3 minutes. I turn around frog bounces and I see a huge wave come towards it as I take it out the water then it spun around and swam off I was bigger than what I caught this morning. It probably was watching it the whole time bass are extremely patient when they want to be, the second it moved again it made the decision to eat it. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted July 18, 2013 Super User Posted July 18, 2013 Even while doing nothing your still catching fish!! C'mon!! LOL. Bass hit when you least expect it. Quote

Â Yeah I was a little thumb heavy this morning but better than backlashing. I am looking forward to getting my setup going. I need a rod still, part of the "purchase agreement" was IÂ buy the reel now cuz it was a deal on closeout and get it for Christmas. But I will still have it ready in time for slow rolling some siebert bluegill spinner baits and grass jigs through beds during spawn! Quote
