Super User MCS Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah I got one of those lucky craft deals with the little propellers....Kelly j...my most expensive lure lol it got one nice fish don't throw it much. I can't complain my jumpin minnow did me well this morning. I will get me a devil horse to play around with. 1 Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Has anybody tried the Johnny Rat lures? I watched the promo video earlier and it looked awesome. Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The heddon torpedo is a great top water bait also. 1 Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Prop baits rock!!! I can't resist throwing them year round down here. I think they have the ability to "call" fish.1st thing in the morning just at dawn there deadly.This time a year, you can throw it all day and get bites. Those devil horses can take a beating to since there made out of wood. Hey MCS, after the bass spawn the panfish are next. If you see a bunch a beds all together, try throwing that kelly j. around. It's imitates a dying panfish well since it lays sideways and sits a lower at the surface then other prop baits. A couple soft twitches and a long pause in between should get ya some bites. Throw it on mono, since it floats also. 1 Quote

I just have had confidence in it, probably fish it too hard and fast. The time I did get the nice fish was just like you said. Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah man last two yrs from now til it gets dog hot in may/june topwaters good with the jumpin minnow or spook and popr. I did really care for hallow frogs but Lou talked me into one late last season so I am gonna try her out more this yr. Best morning I ever had was with a booyah poppin pad crasher, caught 8 from 4lbs to 6.5 lbs nothing smaller. Nothing like seeing a top water bait being devoured by a bass. 1 Quote
0119 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Has anybody tried the Johnny Rat lures? I watched the promo video earlier and it looked awesome. A Johnny Rattler? Thats a old time Fl. bait killer in saltwater Quote
Super User MCS Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 I just saw them on ***, looks cool in the water and the big fish seemed to like it but for that price I could have a new rod or reel. Quote
Super User MCS Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 Has anybody tried the Johnny Rat lures? I watched the promo video earlier and it looked awesome. They didnt mention a mortgage payment did they? That freaking thing is $135....a couple pieces of drift wood, old squeaky door hinge and a pink worm some hot glue and screws. Am I missing something lol 1 Quote

Am I missing something lol I never seen the price but at that price it better hunt down the fish and snag it by it self lol Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 $135 for this no thanks we could make our own for $10. Quote
Super User MCS Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 Oh shoot you gonna get the tackle snobs a rioting on that one lol Quote
Super User MCS Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 That's what I like about most folks round here in the fl threads on all sites, keep it simple plastics, traps, topwater. 1 Quote
Pz3 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Today was a good day. I got a digital scale. Caught two fish 1.3 and 1.5 lbs. a 3.5lb pickerel and at a heavily fished area I went wading out from the shoreline to find a concrete burlap bag with a ton of tackle in it. 5 rattle traps 3 almost new, an umbrella rig, a rooster tail, a few worm hooks, and a lot more random hooks which I left down there. 2 Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 How's the fishing been for everybody in Fl the past few days. I was looking through some old pics and found a few I wanted to share. I was lucky to be taught to fish at a very young age. 1 Quote
Super User MCS Posted April 3, 2014 Super User Posted April 3, 2014 Dang that last on is your PB or a recent catch? Quote
tiredbobmarley Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Got a few small ones on a wacky rigged senko. Best catch was a 4-5 lb. largemouth on a rapala "walk the dog" style topwater bait. I have a devil's horse but I dont have much confidence in it. The front prop constantly wraps my line.... Quote

I have a devil's horse but I dont have much confidence in it. The front prop constantly wraps my line.... Spooks used to do that to me on my spinning gear, use heavier/stiffer line (went from 8# elite to 10# seige) or feather the spool(even on spinning) to keep the bait out in front of the line. Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Dang that last on is your PB or a recent catch? Didn't have no scale on me but this was a few years back and it was close to my pb. The one I caught 3 weeks ago was bigger than this but I didn't have my scale or phone on me. Quote
JaxBasser Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It's still been slow for me. April last year is when it really took off for me so hopefully it picks up soon. Quote
Michaelt1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 There's a algal bloom on a few ponds I've been fishing. Not many for me either, I went Tuesday morning and got skunked. Quote
JaxBasser Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ah ok, haven't really done much fishing around that area. I think I'm the westside guy on here lol. Quote
