Dark, good to see you got fish today. I documented your catch.

Pferox · March 18, 2015, 05:46:29 PM

Nice fish guys.

SFL BassHunter · March 18, 2015, 10:08:23 PM

Nice fish Bassindude, and Dark!

I went and did a little night fishing after my softball game. I caught a 10 inch and I got a big ol bite, and with it went my hook and worm. I got lazy and did a uni knot on my hook and I'm sure the fish just yanked hard enough to make the line slip unless my line was frayed somewhere. But I didnt feel or hear a snap. My black and blue worms finally worked.

I am geared up for Saturday. Hopefully I can pick up where I left off from my last trip out in the glades. So far the reports have been favorable.

SFL BassHunter · March 19, 2015, 05:55:04 PM

Im gearing up for the trail on sunday cause i gotta work saturday.

Headed to Toho in the morning.

Deadeye · March 19, 2015, 07:13:11 PM

Out today for a bit and got 4. Two to add to my Limit, a 15 & a 18.5. Most came on Speedworms.

That gives me 13.5 + 14.5 + 15 + 15.5 + 18.5 = 77

Documented your catches Fred. You are currently in 6th, 1" behind FishinDaddy. The comp is going to heat up as we begin our approach to the final 12 days. Awesome!!

Took · March 19, 2015, 07:33:09 PM

Nice day today. Caught a good number and have 2 to upgrade with (14.75 & 17.7)
Gives me 14.5+14.75+16.5+16.75+17.75 = 80.25. Had a big one destroy a wake bait but somehow threw the hook when I was trying to land.

14.75

17.75 and she was SOLID

Capt. BassinLou · March 19, 2015, 07:42:32 PM

So now that the end of the month race is picking up, who's fishing this weekend? Care to share what strategies you feel are going to get you on them pigs??

I will. Since its mentioned that I do not share too much info. I will be focusing on 2 strategies actually, and no it doesn't involve the frog!! Gasp!! ...... I know.... I know......

I will be continuing where I left off last time which was jigging. I am going to fish a different trailer to see if entices the same or bigger fish. I used a stickworm trailer last time, this time I am going to use a bb cricket. 2nd strategy. I really enjoyed punching through the thick stuff over at Kissimmee earlier this month, so I am going to carry some of that over. The reports around my area is that the hyacinth mats have begun to break up and some some nice piggies can be had in the 8lb variety around those smaller thick mats of hyacinth.

I also have my punching outfit ready and several baits I will like to try. Went to DSG, and picked up some Havoc Pit Boss's. They look interesting let's see how they do. Lastly, I might give the frog some face time. Those top water explosions are too hard to pass up. Anyways that's the plan, it can completely change once I get out there. My 8yr old son is coming with me so I want to make sure he does well. If there are any fish worth posting i will check in from time to time. Good luck to whomever is heading out this weekend.

Hmmm...punching mats? Where did you learn this??

Took · March 20, 2015, 03:13:02 PM

With the increased pressure on the lake I'll be punching with a Nasty Habit SuckerPunch Craw. Also, throwing an MS Mini Slammer, and maybe some small swimmers. I really want the frog bite to warm up but I have had no luck last few times. Just registered for KayakWars for the SE Freshwater so hopefully my game stays strong

I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU.... OK..... YOU HAPPY!!

Seriously though, from what you taught me, the application can/will apply to my neck of the woods. In the past I would bybass a lot of these thick matted areas, now, I am looking to see how many punching spots I can create.

. So IF!!! I catch a pig tomorrow, before some one tells me to suck it!! It's LMG 's fault for teaching me.

Dark3 · March 20, 2015, 03:30:02 PM

Punch...eufala...summer...drool

Dark3 · March 20, 2015, 03:31:24 PM

Random thought: I think I need a blue phat frog

Took · March 20, 2015, 03:35:32 PM

This is my "secret spot" complete with bouncer.

Dark3 · March 20, 2015, 03:46:14 PM

I got to hang out with this big "woops" this week.

Took · March 20, 2015, 03:49:11 PM
