I.rar Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 ...is brought to you by a fluke. white w/ char. tail in color and t-rigged weightless. i finally got a measuring tape. took this ones stats and shes about 19" long and 16" around. our fish weight calculator says 5.66lbs. 8-) she put up a serious fight. even though its a rough estimate , its nice to finally be able to put a weight with these fish. a scale is going on the x-mas list.

brushhoggin Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 thats some clear water. looks awesome. how were you fishing that fluke when she hit it? Quote
I.rar Posted October 7, 2010 Author Posted October 7, 2010 thanks. originally , i was going for peas. imo , they like a fast twitched jerk bait on the surface or right below it. they went for it but missed. so i slowed it down some and let it sink for 5-10 seconds before doing a twitch/pause retrieve. she took it right after a twitch. probably 5ft below the surface of the water right past the drop off.

helms83 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 That's a nice fish, I hope to catch something above a pound some day, lol! Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted October 8, 2010 Super User Posted October 8, 2010 You know, you tell me the Peacocks in my lake have more color. Well I'll tell you, wow that water is clear. One of these days you and I need to hook up and go pound some of the banks. All the lakes that I fish up here are fairly dirty. Thats a fat little fish. Most of the fish I've caught lately have been getting fatter and fatter. Starting to feed with this cooler weather coming in. I had water temps at 79.3-7 earlier today. Only got up to 81.5. Thats a heck of a drop from a couple of months ago where I was seeing water temps in the high 80's and low 90's. Quote

Thats a heck of a drop from a couple of months ago where I was seeing water temps in the high 80's and low 90's. most of the lakes around me are pretty clear. same with the c-1 canal. i think they cleared up more with the rains we had too. the water is also noticeably cooler. i was wading around today and immediately noticed when i stepped in compared to even a month ago. im always down to fish lol. im not sure how often you are down in my area , but i should be up by you this weekend. ill shoot you a PM if im heading that way.
