I.rar Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 went to a park that another member recommended for an hour or so today. walked around a smaller creek and caught a couple 7" LM on a 5" trick stick. one , i set the hook and it flew right out of the water. both were released successfully. continued to walk around the south east side of the lake and saw some boils on the water. casted to them - nothing. started sprinkling but i stayed out. walked a little further south on this lake and cast out a 8" taper tail in watermelon... twitch , twitch... pause...SLAM! i saw the bass engulf the bait! i sware my heart stopped. i was reeling her in as she was stripping line. once i got her a couple feet from shore , i jumped in there with my socks and sandals (dont ask) and lipped her. i was about to pull an ike and start screaming and breakdancing but saw that there was a family taking pictures and didnt want them to think im a nut-job. she was also released unharmed. i dont know for sure how much she weighed , but i know ive never caught one as big. i would guess 7lbs? not too sure. maybe one of you guys could tell me. wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Quote

I'll let you know if I'm free on Saturday. I'm trying to go out on the boat sat or sun to nail some fish on the reefs. Snapper and kingfish for dinner sounds mighty nice. All depends on what the weather does though. As far as the font being tiny, resize it back up at the bottom right corner of the reply box. It happens to me once in a while also. Quote
pinesangleroff178th Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Nice fish again bro! Got me soo hyped up I had to go out there and try out Tree Tops Park. Didn't expect much company out there but was nice to run into you today man and sorry about that fish that spit the hook but seems like they were kicking both our butts out there today well at least mine. lol! Next on the list is T.Y. Park. ;D Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 10, 2010 Super User Posted April 10, 2010 I was talking to my kids P.E teacher today while I was out on the lake. One spot he highly recommended is Quiet Waters park in Deerfield. He said they sink a lot of trees at whatnot out there. He landed a good 40 fish out of there last weekend. Most were small fish, but he said he picked up several larger fish. Apparently electric motors are allowed up there. I'm trying to plan a trip to drive out there one of these days. Quote
