Saying hello from South Florida

[Sp33dSnake]

Hello everybody.  Got on here to learn new stuff and meet new people who love the sport.  I've been fishing for thirty years, I usually fish freshwater with artificial lures.   Typically fish from the Central FL to the South Florida area.  Currently have no boat (working on that), but I have a KLR 650 motorcycle that I will run a backpack and a 2 pc rod and reel and I can get to some pretty off the beaten path spots.

Good to be on here.

Hi, central Fl here too. That KLR  will get you to places you a boat can’t.

Welcome brother, I’ve fished the Osceola forest a lot.. trails run thru it (sand) and I’m betting you’ve been in there. There are probably hundreds of ponds, strip pits, etc and huge, bodacious FLMB in them. 😉

Sounds wicked cool! I also fish the off-the-beaten spots. Cool that we have similar fishing styles even though I'm about as far north (Maine) as one can be in the contiguous U.S. and you're about as far south as one can be. Can you share some pics of where you fish? Here's where I fish:

I have a bit.  I fish around Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River mostly.  Ultimately, I will get a boat one of these days; it's on the list.

There are some dirt road access points to get into the Kissimmee River.  Some official, some not so official.  But an enduro bike doesn't worry so much about that.  Over the years, I really haven't had people tell me to get away from places or anything like that.

Honestly in my car, I've had pretty good luck at places like Lakeport or boat ramps like Scott Driver.  South Bay and Pahokee ain't too bad either.

But again, ultimately, I'm going to end up getting something like a Tracker 175.  Something I can fish the lake with, but also get in some shallow water and boldly go where no big bass boat has gone before.

Welcome from central Florida! My dad had a pair of yamaha xt 550's when I was a kid, I've actually been thinking about getting into dual sport bikes myself when finances allow.
