Jacob I documented your catch, your top 5 is up to 78" Joe, RovingMutt's son is still in the lead with 5 fish at 88" Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 6, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 6, 2013 Bummer my new outfit will not be delivered til next week. You know what that means.... I will be heading out to the glades again in December. LOL. 1 Quote
dsidle61 Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 ok got out this afternoon about 4-530. Hit up a pond w creek inlet near me that AK was kind enough to show me. Didn't get anything of much size but this month im just trying to get my 5 fish before im shut down for holiday travel! So here they are. First fish: 14" caught on a pop-r bass color. Caught it right in the middle of the creek just popping 3 times and letting it sit. AK had told me that the fish in this area have great color and patterns on them, that's really the only reason I wanted to take this picture. Second fish" 16" caught on a top toad. Also caught this one in the middle of the creek on a straight retrieve. I worked half of the large pond w the crank and pop-r with no luck. Thats 5 fish for me should put me at 80.5" ive got some serious culling to do starting with those two stupid 14"s. Heading out with AK tomorrow afternoon, we have put each other on fish the past two days so hopefully we can do it together. 1 Quote

Rovingmutt Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Very quite here today, everyone must be out fishing, good luck, I am stuck working this weekend Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted December 7, 2013 Super User Posted December 7, 2013 Looks like I am floating solo tomorrow. Peace and quiet. Maybe I will take some beers and relax a bit too. Good chance to throw the Type-R around. Quote
CountBassula Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Been so busy lately with xmass preparations and all that stuff hopefully I'll put in some rod time this month... I do have the last week of Dec. off Quote
dsidle61 Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 last day before my wife gets back to town and my fishing time gets slashed lol. went out around 1230pm to my pond right up the street. threw the top toad and crank for about an hour w no action at all. switched up to the senko which has been hot at this place. caught this 18" on the first cast got another smaller on the second cast but didn't bother w the measurement. senko was wacky rigged and watermelon red flake. headed over to the other side of town with AK to work some of his spots and we both got skunked, he did miss a nice one but that was our only action over there. This culls one of my 14s and puts me at 84.5". Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 7, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 7, 2013 Just got back in from the glades. Whew!! I am pooped. 3 of us went out. Me, my son, and brother in law. We got out there by 830, and fished til 430. My son was a trooper. We caught 48 fish, and the best part 40 of them were caught by son. Dinks, but, to a 7 year old he is on cloud nine. I only caught one contest worthy and it went for 14". The promising things I did see, was that the big ones are starting to stage. I saw some really nice bass, but they were not interested today. The water levels are coming down. So this Spring its going to be unbelievable. On a funny note, my new reel came in while we were out. LOL. It's a sweet reel. I will post my little guy later. 2 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted December 8, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 8, 2013 40 wow, i bet you were tired, pulling out hooks as fast as he catches them, good day, good memories Fortunately, my brother in law and I tagged team. My son would fish with me and some with his uncle. We did this through out the day. My son was in charge of the fish counter. We used a variety of soft plastics. Flukes, stick worms and centipedes. I just stuck with the frog to weed out the little guys. It was a beautiful day, with great memories. 1 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted December 8, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 8, 2013 Here is the 14" fish from yesterday. Caught this one with the medium Koppers frog. 1 Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted December 8, 2013 Super User Posted December 8, 2013 What happen to the arsenal? Is this just a "you" time trip, for relaxation? Just forcing myself to throw the Daiwa all day with as many different baits as possible for my review. Quote
bostonsox2904 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 16" and 16.5" Also a big ol' Peacock Bass! 2 Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted December 8, 2013 Super User Posted December 8, 2013 16" and 16.5" Also a big ol' Peacock Bass! d**n that's a nice peacock! Did you measure it, they count too ya know. I can't wait to get down south to target some peas never caught one we don't have them this far north Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted December 8, 2013 Super User Posted December 8, 2013 Saturday I went out with DS and hooked into a nice one but she shook the hook on a semi jump lol. That's was the only bite of the day. Went out today after the Eagles game. There were tons of good games today perhaps the most entertaining was the Ravens Vikings game. They scored 5 TDs between them in the last 2mins of the game with the Ravens pulling out the win (MCS I hope u were able to catch that game while you were on your trip) I was out from like 4:45 til about 5:45 at this spot right by my house, I pass it every day but never fished there before. I hooked into 3 big fish atleast 5lbs got a good look at all three before they have me the shake lol. First one shook the hook after the first jump, 2nd shook me on the first jump, and the third came off when she was hung up in pads right in front of me. May think about switching out the standard KVD treble hooks since the big ones have shook them past two days. I landed 5 fish 2 were dinks and the other three were between 15-20". Still haven't got my trophy fish yet but have a feeling she may come from this new spot. Which is nice since I won't have to travel far and take advantage of the daylight while I can in the evenings. I am going to Ponte Vedra tomorrow morning and I know she's at this one spot, I just hope the cops don't run me off like they did to Me, czar, and DS that one weekend Quote

fishingator Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Ugh that makes me nervous about using my kvd :/. I have very limited time this month. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted December 9, 2013 Super User Posted December 9, 2013 You have been missing some nice bass lately on those crank baits, how are you setting the hook on those fish, and what type of rod are you using? The one on Saturday I messed up and set the hook slinging my rod up, that one wasn't hooked right I could just tell. I usually set the hook to the side cuz when I try to set it by pulling up, like you would a frog, I find it rips the crank out their mouth. The ones today were to the side when I set the hook. The one that came off close to shore was my fault because she was hung up in the pads I let out slack which relieved the pressure on the line and hook. Reeled in my crank with some vegetables on it and watched her tail flap on top and swim off. The other two just shook it after a nice fight on the jump. When you use cranks is that how you set the hook too, down/to the side Quote
