flobassin Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I need your opinion on this one. State tournemnt coming up June 20th on Lake Kissimme, I will be fishing the 15-18 division and I plan on throwing spinnerbait,big worm and frog. Those happen to be my confidence baits as well. I know what your thinking "punch and flip mats" well here's the deal I'm not that comfortable punching mats and I know it produces big bags but this is a jr state tournement and the bags really aren't that big. Anyway need Feed back on what you would do. Thanks Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 6, 2014 Super User Posted June 6, 2014 Lake Kissimmee is just minutes from my home, but my advice to you would be, stick with the lures you know best, the lures you feel most comfortable working. Needless to say, you've got to keep your lure in the slop, but it doesn't have to be a Punch Craw. If you find yourself marking time most of the day, then you have less to lose by trying your hand at mat-punching. With regard to emergent vegetation, you'll be spending most your time in spatterdock, maidencane & water lilies, where the punching rig can be useful but is not mandatory. Roger 1 Quote

Roger Thank you roger this really helps a ton do you mind giving me your email, having a locals in site on the lake would be a huge advantage, I just a have a few more questions about the lake because it's quite different than lake talquin and lake Seminole Quote
