Dominat0r Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Greetings from the scorching heat of South Florida. Haha! I grew up in Coral Springs, FL (Broward County). I have been bass fishing down here on and off for 40 years. It started off shiner fishing in Golf course ponds with my father. I got into worm fishing in my teens and use to travel my neighborhoods canals and a few trips to Loxahatchee, which is not too far. Biggest fish ever for me was about a 7.5lbs largemouth from a pond in Eagle Trace golf club with a live shiner/bobber. I just got back into it after about 5-6 years of just tossing in a line once in a while. I even got my Girl and my stepson into it. Which is a feat to get him off the playstation. I moved into my house a few years ago and I never really fished any of the ponds. I live in a gated community and never saw anyone fishing. Come to find out that the ponds have tons of decent size bass, biggest one I have pulled out is just under 3lbs. I also took this time to learn to use a baitcaster, well, better than I have before. Its been fun to learn how to fish again on top of catching fish. Really nice to have some good info, I find that in this sport, you always have something new to learn. 1 Quote

Dominat0r Posted June 6, 2023 Author Posted June 6, 2023 Thanks guys....always looking for fishing buddies, you anyone is welcome to come into my neighborhood to fish. Can park at my house and we can walk. I am in Coconut Creek, FL and my development is called Coquina. I am right off Lyons just south of Wiles road. Just got back from fishing....finally broke in the new rod....this is the biggest I have got so far in my pond. My neighborhood is gated, so no one else really fishes in here, except for some neighbors. 3 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted June 6, 2023 Super User Posted June 6, 2023 Welcome aboard! Nice bass you got there. Best way to break in a new rod is with a strong bend from a stout bass . 1 Quote

Dominat0r Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 Did a late night walk over to see what saucy swimmer looks like in the water. Ended up with a 6-7lb snakehead. Whoa, this thing can fight. 1 Quote
