-HAWK-

You plan on having fish for dinner for the next month? Why would you keep so many bass?? I can see keeping a few of the smaller ones, but why the big girl? >

The mosquitoes are bad this year!!! I litterally walked through a wall of mosquitoes on the way down to the lake. Maybe its just Wellington, how are the mosquitoes around the rest of the state?

When i do fish in the afternoons im fishing deep water with jigs, c-rigs and t rig large worms fished painfully slow. The problem is the afternoons are hard to fish when the thunderstorms pop up out of nowhere and hell breaks loose. My main complaint is fishing afternoons has been difficult with all this rain. Also fishing at night is a death wish among the mosquitoes. Lakes i have been fishing are: Lake Wellington Lake Victoria Private community lakes around Royal Palm Beach Lake Ida

Nice ride!! I love the color scheme.

Heres my story. Since the rainy season has kicked into high gear, summer fishing has gone down the drain. Here is my problem, i get out on the lake real early to fish a local lake. I fish top water plugs and jitter bugs, trick sticks, money minnows and come up empty handed. Water temps at 5:00am 84 degrees!!! So i try to fish the late morning and afternoons, not possible lightning storms everyday. So i decided to take the forums advice and fish at night. Before leaving the house i spray my entire body with insect repellent and head out. Upon arriving at the lake i am totally swarmed by mosquitoes. So i start fishing top water jitter bugs in black, black buzz baits, rattle traps everything. After about 45 minutes of being eaten alive i decide i have had enough. Bass Fishing in South Florida during the summer is just not worth it. I guess ill have to try saltwater next weekend.

Those are some really nice bass! That last one looks like a crappie.

Here is a better idea for everyone, Add up the number of movies you go see every year, then multiply that by the average cost per movie. I would say on average most Families spend between $500 and $700 per year on going to the movies. Thats without the cost of gas calculated in either. Now the way i see it, if you drop $3k-$5k on a really nice home entertainment system and just wait till the movie comes out on DVD you actually save money in the long run. But dont really sacrifice the viewing experience.

Welcome, good to see another South Florida member..

Wow...WHAT A HAWG!!! Very nice fish and congrats on a new PB.

Okeeheelee Park is an awesome place to fish. You can also try Lake Osborne, good variety of fish there.

Thats great, im glad to see you finally landed a fish. Thats a really great start, im sure will see alot more pictures to come as your confidence level rises.

Very cool bait, what are your intentions? Personal use or do you plan to sell these on the web?

you can also try: live crawdads live bluegill live nightcrawlers

Thats pretty sweet.

: By no means was my comment to Dangle meant to insult his work. Just stating that his drawing would look cool with some color. Also i never stated that a sketch is not art.

By chance is there a Nuclear power plant close to this lake that you pull these giants from? J/k Awesome catfish, btw!!

Cool, now add some color.

Nice fish, and awesome new spiining outfit. One question though being that you plan on using the setup for jigs, tubes and crankbaits why didnt you go with a flurocarbon line? Personal preference? I am mainly asking because im still trying to figure the differences out between mono, fluro and braid. From what i have heard the FLuro is the way to go on jigs, tubes and cranks.

nice fish and nice boat! The boat looks like it would be very stable, whats the width on that thing?

I doubt either fish is over 4 lbs 1st fish 3.9lbs 2nd fish 3.5lbs

Thats definetly just a sunfish. The sunfish i have in my tank turn a greyish color late at night when the tank light is off.

26 will be 27 July 20th

Because then the molds would need to be redesigned. And that would cost $$ p.s Hooking a wacky rig is simple enough to not need the indication dimple anyway. It doesnt need to be perfect.

RIP, he's probably in heaven cracking everyone up as we speak.

The best thing about it is now you can get back to slaying those giant hogs out there.
