Weld's Largemouth Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Hey! The time has come to catch big lunkers again. Just landed in Florida today and I will be making my first casts at sunrise.

Super User BassinLou Posted December 20, 2014 Super User Posted December 20, 2014 Enjoy your trip Welds, I am heading out to Glades this morning in a little while, I will give you a heads up on how I did. 1 Quote
BassObsessed Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Good luck down there. You have a nice variety of baits to use. Don't worry about the reel. Iv'e caught bass up to 10lbs on a spinning reel like that throwing big Huddleston Swimbaits. 1 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted December 20, 2014 Super User Posted December 20, 2014 Good luck! 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted December 20, 2014 Super User Posted December 20, 2014 I hope the stradic is just for the shakyhead Why? I use 1000FI models for bass fishing. Caught quite a few bass over 6 pounds on them. They are extremely capable reels. And good luck, Weld! Catch some beasties. 3 Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Good luck on that 7 pounder this time! Nice reel too. 1 Quote

I use a 1000 for bass but not for jigs, chatterbaits, frogs, swimbaits, etc. Not saying that it can't be done, just not what I would do. Hooksets would be my main concern unless it's on a MH or H Quote
riverbasser13 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Nice man looks like your all set, looking forward to seeing the fish! Quote

Here is what I caught today and on what lure: Here are a few photos I took: Excuse my facial expression i don't know why it is that way Stay tuned for those videos! 2 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted December 21, 2014 Super User Posted December 21, 2014 Wow, now that's some detailed fishing logs. Shoot I don't even balance my checkbook with that much detail. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted December 21, 2014 Super User Posted December 21, 2014 Great way to start out your trip. Good thing you set & tested that drag. By the looks of it, you probably used it a few times. Nice work A-Jay 1 Quote

Hooksets would be my main concern unless it's on a MH or H The reel isn't the issue it's the rod. Right now here in South Florida there is a lot of sea lettuce, 2 days ago this canal was wide open and I was using nothing but exposed hooks, not the case yesterday. I normally fish a ml, yesterday I had to fish med spinning, glad I had it with me. This stuff can get pretty thick, yes the bass fishing was quite good yesterday. 1 Quote
