GLADES Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 On saturday, I went to the canal east of the ramps where it turns to the north. I caught a 3lb bass and a 20" chain pickerel. Both fish were caught using a deep running black/gold rapala. On sunday, I had only 2 hits. I caught a 1 lb and 5.9lb bass due north of the ramps about 100 yards into the flats. I cut a new trail through about 3 ft of sawgrass and lily pads into a 1 acre pond in the sawgrass that by the looks of it was previously not accessed often. Both fish were caught using a wat/red trick worm. Both days were windy and cloudy, and I was fishing 11AM-3PM. I will post pictures later after I resize them. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted December 30, 2008 Super User Posted December 30, 2008 Cool. I'm glad you didn't get stuck while cutting that path but you do what you gotta do. I would have done it too. Don't forget about this Saturday's open tournament in Osborne. $30 a boat. Pay at the ramp. I'll beout there again beatin the water. Quote
tallydude Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I didn't even know we had chain pickerel down here. Quote
GLADES Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 Here are the pics. I believe that is a chain pickerel. It doesnt have the long snout like the garfish. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted December 30, 2008 Super User Posted December 30, 2008 Yep, that's a chain pickerel. I haven't eaten one but I heard they're pretty good. Quote
