Florida Bass Club September Tournament

[AK-Jax86]

As far as numbers go it is still in the 90s we just have a breeze now which feels great when you are out.

[LgMouthGambler]

LOL, that's good enough for you LGMouth?

 

Heat or not, Im still fishing. Long pants, long sleeves, Buff, and a hat. Heat? Aint nobody got time for that!

It has been below 90 last couple but the real change is less humidity and the lows are 68-72 not 80 like they were a week ago!

[BassinLou]

I hear that. But, the fishing down here would benefit if it cooled off a little bit more than the 90's day in and out.

[BassinLou]

80, I will take the 80's in a heartbeat. 92-93 with high humidity wears on you after a several months properly clothed or not.

I think Martin has honed a technique far superior, something about strategic location of thumb  ......I will let him explain, he has a nice little how to video

Lou, LMG is sitting there on a boat dressed like he's going skiing, mm'kay! When we fish all I want to do is jump in the water, and he's just like, whatever... weird! That man does not feel any heat nor pain

[BassinLou]

Good for LMG. The rest of us and fish do however. LOL

[BassinLou]

Martin great clip. I miss Steve Irwin. Martin you should be our resident Audio/Visual guy. You always come up with the best clips for any situation. Pretty Cool!

Its called being "ninja". You cant let them see you coming. I have now upgraded status with Fishouflage longsleeve moisture wicking shirt, and hat. So I am virtually invisible to the fish, lol.

i know right!!!! you see his avatar pic? that's what he's wearing in 95*F full sun out at noon on a boat!!!

I don't know, I guess Im just used to it. Even in the Fire Academy I was the only one not keeling over in full bunker gear in the hot sun. Just make sure you drink water. I guess I would rather sweat than end up with burnt skin. I will say that the moisture wicking fabric does help to keep me cool.

[BassinLou]

I have to agree with LGMouth. Proper clothing; long sleeve shirts and pants with moisture wicking material makes a very big difference. Add on to that a good hat and good pair of sunglasses and you and be outside for a while. I wear the same type of clothing when I go to the glades minus the buff.

Lou, you need to get one. The Buff is the best investment I ever made. When in the glades and it gets really muggy, just soak it in the water and put it back on.

Funny thing is I have one. But I use it for the winter on those cold morning runs. I tried using it once in the heat and my glasses kept fogging over. I should have ordered the Columbia buff that has the vented holes by the nose.

[MCS]

My solution is don't fish when it is hot out. I am done by 7, 8 am at the latest most days lol.

I'm usually done around 8:30a whenever I can ge out on weekday mornings and it is so much more enjoyable than later in the day.

fish smarter

 

not harder

[BassinLou]

Fish longer, catch more fish....

[BassinLou]

You see there's a difference to be said about fishing times. 1. You fish 2 hrs because that's the only time you have available to you, or 2. You fish that long because you can only tolerate so much of the outside conditions. I am mostly # 1. However, when its an Everglades fishing day, the clock goes out the window. I will fish 8-9hrs continuous, except thru thunderstorms. Heat or cold. So AK, be warned....

8-9 hours an outing is what it's gon take to dethrone me Lou

but if you out that long I stand no chance.

[BassinLou]

After I wrote that sentence, I knew you were thinking our competition. It was meant to inform you when you come down in the spring. I did not want you to think that the outings was going to be short. Because they are not. When I go fishing and I have a timetable, I just won't go. When I fish out there, I like to fish with no mental restraint.

[AK-Jax86]

I'm going to have to start training and preparing myself for this outing we are going to set up. Ill know what weekend I will be coming down based on the competition. Hopefully the transition from bank fishing to a boat won't be too different.

[AK-Jax86]

My goal is to go down there one month when peacocks are on fire and post all 5 peas for that month.

You said baitcaster is better fighting the fish and I agree but I still have to get use to that. I gave up on the BC I need to try to get the birds nest out and keep at it.

[MCS]

I think spinning rod and reel is better fighting a fish. You can control the fish better with the rod, there usually is more line on the spinning reel letting it rip out drag if needed. There is a reason people run spinning gear with snook and bones IMHO Now that 6er was fun on casting but it felt way more hairy. It is more like a winch, good for heavy cover and moving a fish I suppose.
