JaxBasser Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Went out tonight and got nothing. I won't be able to fish tomorrow so I'm done for this month. Still cant believe I forgot my tape measure yesterday when I was actually catching fish. Could have culled that 14.5 and probably a 16". Quote

Managed to get out a little on saturday, skunked again. Quote
DynoMyte Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Lastly, and I am done for the night. Are there any objections for me to spearhead the October contest? I really enjoyed doing it, however if there is someone who wants to take a stab at it let us know. Is there anything you guys would like to see differently as far as format for next month? Let's hear it.....  From a spectator's point of view, you did a good job handling the contests. No objections from myself. Maybe next month I will actually get a fish to post. Thanks for taking your time to post up the running order in a timely manner each day. It made watching the competion from the sidelines enjoyable. 1 Quote
zack d Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Went out this morning for a lil while,missed a pig,but managed to land this 18.5. So my goal of culling at least one fish is done! This is my first time participating,so i cant comment on other months,but i think you did a great job Lou. Thanks for putting this together it really made this month of fishing more exciting. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2013 Zach you and I are tied at 82.5" buddy. We have our own South FL, competition going. LOL. Nice job for your first month with us. You still have hours left to make something happen. I know I do. I will be heading out later this afternoon, this is my last at bat, and I am swinging away.

Super User BassinLou Posted September 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks you guys for the positive comments, in regards to spearheading the competition. In the past we have had fun, but I think the format we have come up with raises the competition a bit, and the involvement is a lot more focused. I am looking forward to next month already, however this day is not over yet!!! 1 Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 30, 2013 Super User Posted September 30, 2013 I am in for Oct. I have already warned the wife that she better not make any plans for Sunday mornings because I will not be home until 2-3 in the afternoon. I also will say that I may be taking a ride to the "Big O" to do some fishing in the boat since I will have my new trolling motor by this weekend. Though I really can only get out on the weekends, I still may be able to pull it off. I really would like to know what you guys do for a living, because there seems to be too much fishing everyday of the week for some of you, lol. Anyway, good job to the top 5 this month, you guys put on a hell of a read for me. I fished vicariously through you all, lol. 2 Quote
Super User MCS Posted September 30, 2013 Super User Posted September 30, 2013 Ok I see LMG and Lou are in and you know I am in for Oct. can't wait the cooler weather is upon us! 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2013 LGMouth aren't you a fireman? If I am not mistaken. Unless you have a second job, you should have a lot of time off. I don't know what city or municipality you work with but you also get those CR or Kelly weeks every 3 weeks no? Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2013 I fish similar to MCS. You see when he can he will fish in the wee hours of the morning. I am the opposite. I have a 1-2hr window to fish at a park that I fish close to my house at the end of the day. Same thing during the weekend. Small pockets of time, that I have to figure out what the fish want and hopefully dial them in before time runs out. Unfortunately, I will not be experiencing any long fishing trips any time soon until the water in the glades comes down, and that's only on Saturdays. 1 Quote

I'm going to have to schedule it so I can meet up with fstr Friday, you Saturday, and LGM Sunday to get my full south fl boating fishing experience (I may even ask captain Shane to let me hop on his boat for a YouTube video lol) Quote

LOL. You are making out like a bandit, if you can get me, Shan, and Lgmouth in one weekend. Quote

Â My brother was in a similar situation as you a few years back. Fortunately, the training he received helps him to be better at his current job. Would you consider fire if the full time job became available, LgMouth? Quote

I was planning on going to a Miami heat game that weekend when I make my trip Quote

Â Right now the way the Govt is going about things, Im better off where I am, lol. I get paid better and don't have all the physical and political hassle. Plus my boss has a nice house in Hawks Cay, and we go there to fish on his boat once in a while. Quote

I owe that back to the realm of things since a guy in SC was nice enough to take me on Lake Murray when I was up there. Quote

Well u see what they did to the pentions of the Fire Fighters up here in Jax. U are right u are better off. Stay far far away from anything that has to due with gov't or politics when a job is concerned. 1 Quote

Stay far far away from anything that has to due with gov't or politics when a job is concerned. There are no pentions any more. They closed 5 firehouses in Miami lately due to budget cuts. There are hirings, but for petty money, and nothing to show for. This Obama care crap is only going to make things worse now. Quote

I owe that back to the realm of things since a guy in SC was nice enough to take me on Lake Murray when I was up there. That would be cool! Never really fished on a boat before. I rented a boat at a local Resivour in NJ but it wasn't the real boating experience lol Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2013 I am officially done for Sept. I left it all on the water. Couldn't catch me a 16"+ if my life depended on it. My arm is dead. But my head is held high. Great job to the Jax group. I will post official numbers tomorrow, tightlines has been too quiet, so I will wait. I have a feeling he is fishing tonight. Remember, to the winner of this contest which by the looks of it its between Deepdish and Tightlines, pls PM Martin to claim your well deserved gift card. Let's see what October brings. Quote

Â Zach, I tried for couple for couple of hours and all I caught was 1 14". That was not going to help. I am glad you came on board and enjoyed yourself. We are looking forward to having you in October. Quote
