dsidle61 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 disidle the 29 series will last all day, I have a minn kota 55 and a 29 series and sometimes i troll for 6 hours when needed, only problem for me is the weight, yep that's my only concern and why I wont put both of them on the boat. but like you said I don't see the 29 ever draining. Even in the summer when ill be fishing the mornings I don't see myself going more than 6 hours at a time without a break where I can switch batteries. unless the fishing is just that good! Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 Managed to get out for an hour before dark, and caught one bass and I was hunting a decent peacock but I ran out of light and time. Oh well. Quote
SFL BassHunter Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Well I went out today at 2pm right after a rainshower. Sun came out and I said, time to go fishin'. Well I went down to the canal on 157 ave and about 144st which is like country walk or something. Didn't see any fish, and didnt get any bites. Tried a worm, toad, and a spinner. Then went to the canal behind the falls mall. I actually saw fish there. Several panfish (guy next to me with a kid catching them) and I saw some big ol carp but I didn't see any bass. I tried there till just after dark. Finally got a few bites on a worm but I don't think they were big enough to eat the entire thing, they basically ripped my worms in half. Oh well, lol gotta keep trying! Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 This year has been slow for everyone so far. I'm going out in the morning with my girlfriend hope to break that trend. Czar got into some fish today that he sent me via text. I spent the day at the zoo with Sarah and Adrian for Sarah's birthday. Adrian had a blast his first time ever to the zoo and he loved every second of it. We got a year pass so this might be an every other week trip. Quote
dsidle61 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 I got into some fish today but couldn't find anything consistent. I caught one and missed one on each the popr crank and senko. I got all my hits within the first 10 minutes of each bait then it would go dead. Switch baits 2 hits in 10 minutes then dead again. Nothing special biggest was probably 16-17ish and the one I caught on the senko was maybe 8" long lol. Might try some evening fishing w AK tomorrow in the boat around 7. Well see if that brings us luck after that we are basically shut down until Thursday. Temps supposed to be as low as 11 degrees w the windchill here in Jax on Tuesday and still down in the 30s Wednesday. But a nice warm up Thursday and into the 70s for the weekend so hopefully ill get to put the boat to work this weekend a bunch. Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 Lou cold spell? So you talking upper 60s low 70s lol Up here that's cold man We are in the 30s, 40s, and lower 50s LOL.... Yeah I don't get to experience the cold you guys do up there, so I am real lightweight when it comes to that. Now put me out in the glades in the middle of summer with 90% humidity and temps in the 90's and I can handle that. Crazy!! I know. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 -20 in the North, and 80 down here, lol. Got to love S Fl. Quote
CountBassula Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 -20 in the North, and 80 down here, lol. Got to love S Fl. you just wait till tomorrow AM... there go the peacocks again Quote
lunkmaster24 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Hey Lunk, where you get them Snook at? There is a canal in Davie that i use to fish a long time ago when i was a kid it is at nob hill and griffen ive seen some real big ones come out of there so i decided to change it up and go for them. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 you just wait till tomorrow AM... there go the peacocks again The cold spell, will not effect the peacocks. The cold is only for a couple days, the water can't cool off that fast. You tell me cold temps for month like 2010, then we got problems. Quote
Rovingmutt Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 went out today 7:30 to 11:30, saw some fish moving around on surface but no topwater action, used a silver jerkbait and got 2 and lost 2 or 3, 19 1/2 and a 15, no pics today, wicked wind started up at 11:30 so i got outta there, I won't be fishing much over the next month or so, i have alot of chores to do at home and getting ready for spring spawn, well just spring, too many honey do to do. 1 Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 They are spawning now! Quote
Super User MCS Posted January 6, 2014 Super User Posted January 6, 2014 They are spawning now! Not up here any more lol they are shivering trying to keep from hybernating Quote
Chief 2 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Myself and a friend fished Rodman hard yesterday for 7 hours and only got a couple of hits. My buddy tried shiners and nothing. Even the guys Speck fishing were doing poorly. Looks like they are lowering the water. There were way more stumps exposed than when I was there a month ago. Lots of big wood floating in the channel also. Hard freeze warning here tonite. Quote

Thinking about tossing a jig or jerk bait just for a little while I mean what is the worst that could happen I catch a fish or a cold right? Lol or is it a dumb idea Quote
SFL BassHunter Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Back at work so my weekday fishing is going to slow down drastically. Heck MCS if you can go, then go for it! You never know they might be hungry. Throw some worms at em lol. 1 Quote
Chief 2 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I'll be headed to Daytona Beach in the morning. but I still wouldn't go with it being in the low 20's. Quote
Rovingmutt Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 MCS you crazy man, go for it, don't forget your long johns good luck!!! 1 Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 7, 2014 Super User Posted January 7, 2014 I'm gonna hook the boat to the truck tomorrow to bring to work since the transmission is fixed. I need to check the bearings and mount the new spare since I'm taking the boat to central FL this weekend. I may stop at the fishing hole before work depending on how nipply it is outside tomorrow morning. Might tie a jig to the T3 and see what bites. Saying its gonna be in the 40's. Brrrrrr. Quote
