jamesdkids4 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 In jacksonville till Friday need a good place to fish for bragging rights at work in Maryland and what bait to use I've seen some ideas on here already but want to get advice Quote
Super User MCS Posted January 22, 2014 Super User Posted January 22, 2014 In jacksonville till Friday need a good place to fish for bragging rights at work in Maryland and what bait to use I've seen some ideas on here already but want to get advice Bro it is too cold here! But last couple weeks light Texas rigs for me and my buddy with small worm or ribbon tail 4-7" range. Got a few on spinner baits too. Ifi were you I would throw a lipless (black/blue/green with silver or orange)or spinnerbait(white/chart) see if you get bit on that then break out a t-rig or jig and work slower. Black/blue, purples(junebug or tequilla), gr pumpkin, watermelon, blues and red shad as far as colors work. Ponds around here that are used for storm water retention are basically featureless so work the conc boxes and culverts. Weed lines are important too. I fish mainly morning but am assuming you will be afternoon so they will be a hair more active. Quote
SFL BassHunter Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I tried Holiday Park and 75 recreational areas on Monday and I got NOTHING! It was bad. I tried worms, lizards, creatures, jigs, shallow cranks, top water cranks, deep cranks, All different colors, slow, fast, extra slow...it was horrible. I was out there for 6 hours! Quote

Were you from the bank or from a boat? Geo G, was few miles West of you and caught over 100 on Sunday. Quote
Diggy Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I bought a canoe from a friend, who posts on here also. No longer land locked, well I have nothing to transport the canoe with yet other than the old mans suv, but almost there. Fishing has been really good for me when I do go. Seems I average at least 4-5 in the hour I fish if not more as of recent. The $1 walmart spinner bait has been killing it. Bought 6 more last night. 1 usually lasts me a good while as long as I get the skirt tied up well. 1 Quote

At least you caught one. I got skunked today. Went to canal close to my house and nada. The water was clean and had good clarity, but nobody was home. The ones that I did happen to see, were passing by. They were not interested at all. 1 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 I was fishing from the bank. It's pretty limited out there to effectively bank fish. MM35, the big rest stop, has several sections you can try. Unfortunately, you were not off a boat. Geo G caught another 70-80 fish today. From that area. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 those and keitech swing impacts Dicks sporting goods had a clearance sale so I made it rain on Saturday...bought some lucky crafts and various other baits Yeah, picked up some things last week with the red tags on them. A nice SK crankbait and finesses jig for under $3. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 Came back a little while ago from my neighborhood canal. At first glance you would think it was dead. Upon closer inpection, (thank goodness for Costa's!!) I saw several large bass staging to spawn. I caught one, 2lb buck off a very deep flat. Other than that, they were in that skittish stage. I was trying to go after 6lb+ pig, but she wasn't having it. She would come and go. When they get to the defending their territory phase, then it should be interesting. 3 Quote
CountBassula Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Went out with Gambler yesterday in the afternoon. We were fishing for 5+ hours and it was rather slow. Though my last catch of the day was a nice fat mama! Probably in the 6lbs range; short and fat! M> 3 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted January 30, 2014 Super User Posted January 30, 2014 Had some time to kill, so I went to the park on this gloomy rainy Thursday. Caught 8. They made me work but it was fun. 2 of them went for probably high 2lb's and one went for lower 2lb's. The other 3 went for 1lb's and the last 3 were under 1lb. The rain was on and off, and the wind was light from the North. I used my finesse gear, and was using BPS stick worms on 1/16 weight and primarily 2/0 Gami. One of my bigger ones I caught using 1/0 and was deep hooked. Fortunately, I was able to remove the hook without any fatal damage. I didn't take a pic of that one, I just wanted to return it to the water quickly. Overall, it was fun. Saturday is my monthly glades trip, let's see what happens. Here some pics: 2 Quote
Super User MCS Posted January 30, 2014 Super User Posted January 30, 2014 Nice day Lou 8 fish is pretty good man. Good luck sat. Supposed to be lovely weather if nothing else Quote
