CFFF 1.5 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Use google earth and find likes around your area. Go first without the boat and scope out a spot to launch the boat. Bring a pole to fish from shore for a few minutes. The next morning take the boat out and just go for it. You will have a whole lot more fun fishing from the boat. Quote
Tom Bass Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Hey, Congrats on gettin your boat. Very Cool 8-) I don't know anything about fishing in your area but I do have some recommendations about boating. Wear some type of personal floatation device. You are not bullet proof and regardless of your body and the shape that you are in having a PFD could save your life should you fall in the water somehow. I recommend a self inflating life vest. They are light and are comfortable to wear. Next, I would check on boating regulations in your area and see about boater safety classes and I would sign up for one. After that, I would go out fishing and have a good time. Be safe. Tom Quote

bassbanger Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I hope to seal a deal on a 90 fisher SV-18GT 115 merc. with f finder, trolling motr, gps, new apoulstry, etc... 2900.00 I just hope he doesnt sell it out from under me ! WISH ME LUCk Quote
gar-tracker Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 If you go onto Alligator Alley and travel east towards the first ramp those canals are loaded with bass, just cast towards the bank as you ease down the middle. Worms topwater etc.. Quote
btcprince Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 yes...the canals. i went through your area last summer and was impressed by the places i could fish......but i was there for baseball, not fishing Quote
gar-tracker Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Its a bit of a ride for you, but mile marker 41 has a ramp, and right now the bite is very good. Theres a ramp on east and west bound(called south and north I75 but its really not). Throw watermelon Trick Worms to the bank let them sink un weighted and hold on. This would work all along the Alley. Quote
