Majority of the anglers on this site don't fish out in the Jacksonville Beach area. But there are tons of spots that I have seen on my way out there. Anything is fair game as long as you do not see any no fishing/trespassing signs (just make sure you get your fishing license in case you run into a d-bag) Even if it says resident fishing only most people will just assume that you live there as long as you are catch and release and aren't there with a bucket loaded with bass. As far as the Big-O goes there are mixed reviews, there are a few threads on here about recent trips. What I am taking from it is that the fish are biting but the big ones are rare/hard to dial in eventhough a few people have had their fair share of luck. Either way your trip there will definitely be worth it. Quote
Super User MCS Posted February 13, 2014 Super User Posted February 13, 2014 Because following laws and up holding laws like fishing liscense are D-baggy this to do. How do you think these ponds get stocked AK? The fees, people come from out of state the should pay the fees especially. The lunker program guess where they get their money, yep the fees. Just saying man. Kinda gets old hearing stuff like that. Quote
Super User MCS Posted February 13, 2014 Super User Posted February 13, 2014 Nothing personal ak. Post was in general many people have that attitude. Quote

Ive been run off the few times ive fished ponds over by my moms house by residents and even a maitence guy because there was no sign on the way I came in. I guess I will just try to act like i belong at a few new spots this trip and see what happens. Â Thanks I will for sure get a license. It's the one thing I don't mind spending money on. Quote

Yea that happens at some places people running you off but more often than not you won't run into those people that are "having a bad day" and want to take it out on you. But what I do if I am fishing in a community I will park at their clubhouse instead of pulling my car on the side of the road, a lot of people have a problem with that especially if your tires are "on the grass" lol I had an old man bug out on my cuz half my tire was on the grass over in Ponte Vedra. Was funny he was flipping out I told him I lived there and said a street name and he was like my apologies I'm part of the HOA could you just move it so the tires aren't on the grass, it was funny. But if I get run off I make it a point to say that I didn't see any signs but then I leave just to avoid any further problems, only has happened a few times though. Man I can't wait to take my trip to Okeechobee maybe sometime this summer. when are you going there? Quote

Lol Nah man I was warned by a cop about what they could do if I don't have one, mine was expired at the time, and I plan on being in that LUNKER catch program multiple times so I know I need one to qualify lol Quote
SFL BassHunter Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Guys I'm meeting a buddy half way in broward area to do some bass fishing this sunday. I live in dade so I don't go up there often. Any tips on decent spots? I know a lot of people don't like to give out where they fish. But since I'll be out there I would rather not start driving around to find places and waste time. I fish off the bank cause I have no boat. If anyone can post or even message me a few spots to go to it would be great. I was looking at TY Park, I know they have boat rentals there and are pretty cheap. On the map the lake doesn't seem all that big so I don't know if it merits a boat or not. Like I said I've never been to that area to do bass fishing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  FYI I am currently in NY for a business trip and I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO MIAMI! It's freaking cold up here folks. Snow and Ice all over the place. Glad I live in Miami. Quote
MS Fisherman Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Nice Boat I caught a few yesterday in the 3-7lbs range, I was using both the Rapala Husky Jerk and the Live target Bait Ball. 1 Quote

Â So the baitball does work! Â Husky Jerk is my go to lure. Consistantly land bigger fish with it then anything else I've used. Quote

Before I called you I threw the whole tackle box at her for about two hours, I was texting dsidle about it lol. Then I'm like wait you were fishing with shiners with your buddy lets see if you are in the area, then you show up and she finally bites lol. I'm gonna go back in a few days see if she returns to the bed I doubt it now. Still can't believe how big she was but how little she weighed!! Funny we though my scale was off at 5.7 so u ran and got yours lol. Quote

Guessing the roe don't weigh as much as actual fat on them. Quote

Guessing the roe don't weigh as much as actual fat on them. I guess not I meant to say you not I he caught her. But thing was massive but when I picked her out the water I could tell it was light and after we weighed it on both scales we were dumbfounded. I pushed my finger on her belly and it was squishy the bigger ones I have caught their bellies are solid. Idk if that means she just spawned or she hasn't eaten yet in preparation for spawn? Not sure but the fact that she kept to the bed and wasn't taking anything was kind of weird. Any insight on that, seems pretty odd when you consider all factors? When he got her on the shiner it looked more of and angry/p***ed off strike. Over all very weird the only strike I got out of her was on a weighted frog bouncing it on her spot and she just took the legs and spit it. Quote
