Super User AK-Jax86 Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 in  how do you expect to fish? I can't cast, set hook, and reel it in for you lol  But when you are good we are hitting up Ponte Vedra one weekend I haven't been there in months and I found 3 new spots around Bartram that we need to hit up, I only fished one of them though for a little bit with Sarah.

Let me know I might be able to give you a pointer or two if I have fished them Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 Grizzn, go back to your thread... LOL. NE Jigger, just opened up the last competition of the year for the NE guys.  Revisit us in December... yes I just read that! ok well I'll stop by and see how the catching is going for you guys.  Id like to see the stats for how you guys are catching them so ill probably floating around Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 Just got back was out for little under a hour. Had 3 strikes on a white frog, 30# braid, covering Lilly pads. Funny story I cast out to a patch of pads and let the frog sit until the ripples are gone, little technique I use with the hollow bodies. I texted Dsidle61 to see if he wanted to do some fishing this weekend and 3 minutes after that on the retrieve I caught this 19". Got her as I was reeling the frog in to recast she probably hit it about 5 yards from shore. I will let DS tell the second part of the story lol it's crazy how things work out. Jacksonville is starting off right between MCS, DS, and myself. As Jaxbasser said its most likely due to the cold front coming in. You S FL guys will probably have a good weekend too! Not sure if I provided all the info LGM wanted, if I am missing anything let me know 1 Quote
dsidle61 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 haha as AK said ive got a bit of a story for you guys. I was up in georgia this afternoon for work and im heading back home around 5pm and i decided to stop at my spot on my way home bc i knew as soon as i got home i was gonna crash. So i stopped by the pond, was working the banks w frogs (pad crasher jr and ribbit) for about 30 min with no luck. I got a text from AK asking if i was heading out this weekend, 3 minutes later another text telling me he caught a nice 19" on a frog. I was just about to the end of the pond so i figured id finish out the 10 min and text back. Sure 2 minutes after i get his text BOOM my frog gets annihilated. I saw it from the hit and knew it was a pig. she was a jumper too so im burying my rod trying to keep it down and praying it doesnt spit me. I get the head out of the water on shore and snap! there goes my rod tip i quickly snatched my line and drug it on shore. Ill call this 21" bc my tape was a bit off and weighed in at 6lbs (like a true fisherman im doubting the accuracy of my scale lol ive held 6 pounds before and i thought for sure this one was 7-8). but with 6 pounds thats my personal best! and second time in 2 weeks ive caught my PB at this pace ill have a 10# by the end of the month hahahaha. Ill put this in the big fish category just to give you southies something to beat by 3-4 pounds here soon lol. For LMG this was caught at 530pm on a ribbit frog louisana craw color, 30#braid, ultra light rod (which is now broken lol) caught it over open water about 20 feet off shore. nothing special just a straight retrieve. and by the way IM IN!!  2 Quote
Phil_M Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Welcome!....See that is a nice bass on a fly rod in your avatar. My buddy fly fishes the ponds up here in Jax, back cast area willing.   Thanks and congrats!  Went out tonight, only small ones. Boy did I read this front wrong. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 1, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2013 I documented Dsidle and AK's catch. Way to get on the board quick. Dsidle nice pig. Best part, you caught it on the frog!!! Quote
CayMar Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Awesome fish Dsidle. Congrats on the PB. Catching a hawg makes breaking a rod feel worth it doesn't it? 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 1, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2013 Here are my catches for the day. I went to the park and caught a 14" swimming a stick worm Okeechobee color on the surface. I was using 10lb yozuri, with 1/16 weight, and a 2/0 gami hook. The second fish went for 17" I caught this one, on the same outfit, weight, and hook. The lure however was a wm seed centipede. Â Â 3 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 1, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2013 FYI everyone today has been a record day. Our first day of the month and we have 18 people and counting participating so far. We still have some former participants that have not come back yet, and I sent out some more additional invites . Let see if these individuals are interested to come on board. Just remember, I will let everyone know who all the participants are on WED. Good job everybody, and Welcome back. Quote
dsidle61 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Awesome fish Dsidle. Congrats on the PB. Catching a hawg makes breaking a rod feel worth it doesn't it? Yes absolutely. Especially since it was a 5 foot ultra light rod lol i knew it was gonna go at some point but thats been the only rod ive owned since i was about 12 years old so its like losing a friend lol. It worked fine up in pennsylvania catching 1-2 pounders but just wasnt gonna hang down here. Now im gonna be in search of a new rod, im accepting suggestions from anyone lol. im a spinning reel guy so thats what im after. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 1, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2013 I will continue to post top 10 standings on Monday's, first one will be this Mon. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 Awesome fish Dsidle. Congrats on the PB. Catching a hawg makes breaking a rod feel worth it doesn't it? It definitely is! Caylub I had a similar experience to DS few months back I caught my PB, length wise 24" but my reel broke lol, had to do the same thing grab the line and bring her in. It is definitely worth it and Academy gave me the $80 my reel cost in store credit so I used that towards a new reel. Quote
CayMar Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Yall should make a YouTube channel "Hand fishing with Dsidle and Ak". I have had to bring one in by hand before but to my disappointment it was a catfish. My rods get broken in transport more than by fish but if I break it fishing then going shopping is justifiable to my wife. Lol. 1 Quote
Super User MCS Posted November 2, 2013 Super User Posted November 2, 2013 Nice fish everyone. Congrats Dsidle on that PB. It depends on what u wanna spend for a rod. If you want to spend around $100 then options open up and I would recommend a bass pro Carbonlite. Best for the money, I think 4 of us in this comp own them. Quote

They are great rods and for the $$ even better. Quote
CountBassula Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Well I went out today from 5pm to 7pm. Got 6 or 7 bass, the largest on was 16" so nothing worth posting  Did however hook into a NICE snakehead, must have been 6-7 lbs and put up a very nice fight!  Oh yea, I was using Lizards and Space Monkey, Senko didn't catch any fish today, weird...    1 Quote

Priorities man...... priorities....... LOL. BTW you posted 2 16" fish last month. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 2, 2013 Author Super User Posted November 2, 2013 Good luck to whomever goes out tomorrow. I am signing off for the day. Great job today everybody. Quote
JaxBasser Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I was right, the fish were on FIRE today. Caught 12 fish in about 2 hours of fishing. Â All of these fish were caught on a Redbug U-Vibe Speedworm, 30# Suffix 832, 7'1 MF *** Black, Lews SS Tournament. I was pulling the speedworm across the surface near pads, grasslines, and submerged vegetation. Â 17" Â 16.5"Â Â 16.5" Â 15.5" Â 19" Â Â I needed a fast start. After time rolls back I'll only be able to fish like twice a week instead of the 3-5 I do now. 2 Quote
CayMar Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 What did you do with the snakehead Martin? Nice job Jaxbasser you have thrown down the gauntlet. Glad to see you were able to get out as well BassinLou. I'm gonna wet a hook tomorrow for the first time in over a month. Quote
shanksmare Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I'll be sort of limited timewise this month to 4 or 5 days fishing. Hopefully last month's curse has worn off ... I'm in. Quote
fishingator Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Wow amazing! I'm going to take my future stepson with me in the morning. His dad is stuck taking his sister to cheerleading Quote
