Florida Bass Club September Tournament

[AK-Jax86]

Lou had to do the termite thing a while ago when I was young and I was mad. Didn't have all my toys and games as a kid I was very upset, and I know I wasn't fishing during that time.

We were looking forward to seeing you on the board but it's always better when you catch a nice big one at a spot you have never fished good luck to you man. The leader board will probably be shaken up this weekend can't wait to see what everyone is catching good luck

[BassinLou]

Unfortunately, you will see me on here a lot over the weekend recording the catches that you guys will be posting. With 14 participants, a shake up is bound to happen. Especially, with the guys that are out night fishing, or dawn fishing. I am curious in the big fish category what that number will be like this month.

[AK-Jax86]

I'm saying we will see an 8lber I will say 8.6lbs

[AK-Jax86]

Going to a movie with my girl going to stop by Wells lake before and after the movie and do some night fishing. Hopefully I can pull in a HAWG

[LgMouthGambler]

I don't know if I will be able to go out this weekend. My house is being tented for termites so we had to move out for a couple of days. Don't all of you breathe a sigh a relief though. I brought my rod along with some stuff just in case... LMG, don't you hate it, when you haven't been out for a while you finally get a hit, and the fish becomes unbuttoned. Especially when its really descent fish.

Ya, thanks for reminding me, lol. Hopefully I find something big Sunday.

i hope so, my group grew to 6 people as of 6:48pm today so it looks like we're gonna have plenty of lures in the water till sunrise

 

i will for sure be entering some numbers tomorrow

 

good luck to the rest of you fellers!

[BassinLou]

Best of luck to the night fishing groups. Just a friendly reminder to all of you following this thread and are still on the fence in joining the group. You have until 11:59pm tonight. After that you will have to wait for next month's competition.

[dsidle61]

Had a decent evening tonight.  pulled in 4 and had 3 misses in an hour and a half.  Only 2 competition worthy.  One 18" and one 16".  18 incher was on a wacky senko and the 16 incher was on a wacky trick worm.  Also had my most interesting catch in a while. pulled in a catfish on a wacky trick worm it was a first for me.  I wasnt dragging the bottom either, i was twitching and letting it fall and it hit on the twitch upwards.  Im not much of a catfisherman anyone know what kind this is??  These two fish have me at 34" for the month.  Hoping for MUCH better #s but i just threw the 16" in there to get working towards my 5.

 

18"

 

16"

 

Catfish (help with what kind)

CapitolP I need to get out with you one day. That spot in the third pic you posted of your girls friend or your girl looks like it would be perfect for a frog.

That's all I throw

[dsidle61]

Hey AK any luck at the wells pond today?? I was gonna stop there this evening but with the rain looking threatening i just ran to my close by pond.  Weeds dissappearing any over there??

[juan_LMB]

Chalk me up for 13"...I think it was 13.5 but he kept flopping so I said forget and ran with 13. That was the only catch before it got super windy and dark clouds started rolling in. Caught him on a worm at a golf course pond. Oh yea, the waters levels are insanely low. I can see the bottom about 2ft out from the edge. Ponds and canals.

[CutlerJay]

I guess I am a little bit late getting in on the September tourny. I have been in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on a ship and just now back to the land of cell service. It's probably for the best anyway. Ill get one more month of practice and then might have a good showing next month when the bite picks up. I hope to get out this week, catch some fish and post some pics. Good luck everyone and cheers.

I caught three but one came unhooked on land and flopped back into water and the other two didn't look to be in the 18" or higher range so I didn't bother measuring them, and I didn't have my measurer on me anyway.

But the grass is still heavy there DS. I use braided line and frogs so it's doesn't bother me that much but if you are trying to use a crank or swim baits or even worms I can see it being a big pain in the a$$.

I found this new spot kind of by Wells road that looks pretty promising, I will probably go check it out tomorrow sometime while I make my rounds to my weekend spots.

[AK-Jax86]

O yeah forgot about to tell all about my morning trip. Suppose to go out the the it's but they both ain't wake up, or they were laying in bed with eachother and didn't feel like being interrupted, I thinks it's that lol.

So I stayed local and had an all you can eat fest on my rage craws, u vibe worms, and crank.... I left the frog alone this morning! I must have caught about 20 or so fish nothing big though and surprisingly I didn't miss many strikes it seemed like the dinks were in full force. On top of that I only went through 2 rage craws and 3 u vibe worms which is amazing!!! Seems like everytime I fish the craw one arm gets bit off an with the Uvibe the bite off the tail which ruins the worm after that... Had very good luck today though

[BassinLou]

Dsidle and Juan I got your catches down. CutlerJay did you get my PM? AK, what's up with your hands dude?? You drop fish like crazy.

Nah I didn't have it when I brang it onshore it came unhooked and slid back in

[LgMouthGambler]

Just spooled my Super Duty with some fresh XpS flouro and went and played with a Gambler craw for a bit. d**n near caught me 3 nice fish, however they were all Snakeheads.

[BassinLou]

LGMouth, too bad, wrong tournament.

[JaxBasser]

Had a good day as far as numbers go but nothing of any really good size. They were slamming the Zoom Lizard (watermelon red magic). Had a huge blow up on my buzzbait right before I left but I missed it.

 

Went ahead and took a pic of this 16" fish. I'm gonna need some way bigger ones though. Don't know why the pic turned out so crappy.

[fstr385]

Im not in this month because I think Im done with freshwater till Nov-Dec, but figured Id share this little rugby ball I pulled out of the salad with a 1.5oz/rage craw/ 5/0 trokar flip hook in the glades this weekend. I didn't weigh it, but figure around 4.

 

 

[LgMouthGambler]

Well, went this morning by myself. Caught a bunch of fish, nothing impressive. I got 2 that were 13", 1 that was 12", 1 at 11", and one at 10". I don't know how you guys take the pics with the fish and the ruler due to mine like to flop, and I'm just not that coordinated, lol. Anyway, most of my posts are on my phone, and unless I get something big, I'm not gonna bother with a pic, just a quick measure and toss. As a side note, I seen plenty of 4-6# range Bass, but they just didn't want to play. All my fish were schoolies chasing small shad balls. The award for the lure of the day goes to Gambler for the Flappin Shad.

[BassinLou]

FSTR, what part of the glades did you go out of?? I here the water level is ridiculous and the corp of Engineers are punching holes in the levees around MM41 to help push some water out. Was that the only fish you pulled out? Either way considering the conditions and location nice chunk. I am pretty much sold on bank fishing until probably NOV and Dec due to those water levels.

[BassinLou]

Lgmouth, fortunately you are seeing signs of life. If you are seeing 4-6lbrs around, they have to eat eventually. I have yet to see a bass above 2lbs for a couple of weeks now.

[BassinLou]

Finally, wrapped up and practically moving back stuff into my house after tenting. Looking forward to go out, but the heavens have opened up and its raining again. At this pace I don't know when I will be able to points up.

Off 27 north or 75. at the opening on the west side of 27 from that airboat park. For some reason the current was flowing back toward the west into that opening, so we mashed all the calm areas right outside of the high flow. Prob got 25-30 dinks between the 2 of us from 7-930. Seen later someone launched their escalade down the ramp just south of that one too lol. Bank fishing is definatly better right now. Good choice.
