Super User BassinLou Posted March 2, 2014 Super User Posted March 2, 2014 No fishing for me this weekend unfortunately. Work stuff. Let's see what happens this week. PitBoss, I am glad the new outfit and tips I gave you at the park is working out for you. Quote
Pz3 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Decided to switch it up a little bit today! I tossed in around 4pm and managed to land a 3-4lb bass using a Rapala Husky Jerk. Was pretty happy about it and got several hits on softbaits but the bite died down as the sun went down. This little kid was watching me fish the whole time telling me about how he loves fishing and uses a bait caster etc. Told him he should go grab a pole and meet me at the dock. Im fairly confident in bottom fishing with bait at night. He never showed up but the night fishing was exactly what I needed. I got my 3 poles together. Rigged two up with an egg weight sinker, swivel, leader, and hook. My bass rod I put my widegap hook on it with no weights. Caught 4 brim using hook, extra line and bread. Tossed them in a bucket to die except one. I sent the one out on my bass rod to go swim free. Cut another one up and tossed the peices on the other two rods. This is when it gets fun...... First Catch of the night was on my bass rod! No it wasn't a bass, a 5-6ft Alligator Gar got him! That was one hell of a fight. 2. Channel Cat around 6lbs 3. Gar around 3ft 4. Bullhead Catfish around 3lbs 5. Gar around 4ft 6. Bullhead Catfish around 4lbs Then these two guys which were absolutely fun to catch as well. Not sure how much they weighed but gosh dang it felt as much as the big alligator gar. 7. Bowfin (around 3ft) 8. Bowfin (around 3ft) I kept and cleaned the cats up and will be chowing down later. Last but not least the little story about the little bass I caught yesterday. Reeling the ultravibe in top water no weight. I see a huge wave coming up behind it.... got so excited thought this wave had to be a huge fish! Set the hook hard! BAM!........ >1lb Bass comes flying by my head. I never sent a bass flying like that before lol. 2 Quote
SFL BassHunter Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I didn't do any bass fishing yesterday but I did go out to do some salt water fishing and caught a few mangrove snappers. Only one was a keeper. My friend caught 2 keepers. Good eating!!!!!!! 1 Quote
fishingator Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Hey all! We are back at it after our wedding. We went out yesterday and today for about an hour or so each. I caught 8 total but two were sweet...It feels good to be back! 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 3, 2014 Super User Posted March 3, 2014 Look at that.... you get married, and you start catching bigger fish. WTG!! 1 Quote
fishingator Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Look at that.... you get married, and you start catching bigger fish. WTG!! Haha I guess! Idk...I couldn't catch fish like that when we were having contests to save my life!!! The big one I caught yesterday was on a weighted zoom speed worm black and blue. None of us have ever pulled one that size out of that area so that was unexpected. Today was slow for me and I caught two smalls but we moved spots and I was using a weighted zoom speed worm watermelon red and green when I hit some lilly pads and I caught the second one. 1 Quote
MrPerfect Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Anyone else experiencing a late spawn? I have been to my favorite fishing hole almost every weekend since the start of February and today was the first day I saw a bed even being started. Product of this pond or the extended cold weather this season? I just want to make sure I haven't missed the spawn somehow. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 3, 2014 Super User Posted March 3, 2014 Remember bass will spawn at different times through out their spawning season. I have caught big bass spawning in June still. If the conditions are favorable. Quote
Super User MCS Posted March 3, 2014 Super User Posted March 3, 2014 Just hit a spot today that was spawned out. Empty beds, small bucks, yearlings and a ton of short strikes and small fish. Quote
Wachati Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Heading down tomorrow to stuart area. Trying to conserve tackle space in my luggage. Looks like spinnerbaits and worms are hot. My plan is zoom tricks, t-macs, and beaver style baits, some cranks, and jigs. If anybody has anything to add it would be greatly appreciated. I never have had time to bass fish when I'm in Florida, so I'm coming in blind. Got a lot of good info on here and pitbossrick, the pit boss is my go to bait, I recommend lime purple passion, perfection blue fleck, and the trusty blk/blue. Also, I might try and catch my first peacock, so any must have baits or areas around west palm/Davie/port st Lucie would be great. Idk how far north you can find them, but if I have to go further south to Miami, I will. Also I will be a non boater. Thanks guys 1 Quote
Pz3 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Got out on the water again. Well, landed one today 2-3lbs on the Bitters Vibe (native shiner) and hooked into a pig, est from the jump 7+ lbs. That piggy went after the Bitters Muskrat (green Pumpkin). Shook it out after diving into somethick grass. Will be out on a boat again thursday trying to find biggins again. 1 Quote
JaxBasser Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Been catching a lot of numbers lately, no pigs yet though. April-June last year is when I caught most of my bigger fish so maybe it'll be that way this year also. Had to fight off the bait monkey saturday though, almost bought a Chronarch 200e7 and a Curado that I really don't need lol. 1 Quote
Super User MCS Posted March 4, 2014 Super User Posted March 4, 2014 X2 Jax been same going of late and I had similar results as last year too. Quote
CentralFloridaBass Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Woke up this morning early before school and went out to a golf course pond. I hooked into a big fish texas rigging the Yum F2 Wooly bug in bream color. I would have gotten pictures and video but my dad is on a fishing trip in Nicaragua and he wanted to bring my GoPro :/ anyways after landing the fish it was a fat bass that looked like it hadn't spawned yet. It weighed 8 pounds flat on the scale. Just 6 ounces off my PB! Caught at about 7 this morning. If anyone is curious I will attach the video of my PB bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ-2Tl2UaiY&list=UUNk6ZoNaY79k9hyGaQHb5jw&feature=c4-overview 1 Quote
Jacob044 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Great pig central. Hoping for one that big this year. Quote

CentralFloridaBass Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I don't have a phone :/, I just went out for 45 minutes and caught 3 bass on a lipless crankbait with the biggest being a 4.5-5 pounder. Its been a good day so far and i'm going to go back out later. Will post if I catch anymore and what I caught them on. Quote
