actually its a 10 mile canal system that runs through parts of boca and deerfield beach. great body of water... tarpon, bass, peacocks, snook and channel cats. if you learn the fish patterns you can catch a ton of monsters in a very short period of time...most of those peacocks were caught within a 30 minute period of time.

so me and my buddy j went to a "secret" location on the g-08. we fished jumbo shiners on gamakatsu nautilus circle hooks. heres a few we pulled out: ME MY BUDDY J he yanked the fish of the day 5 pound peacock another bowfin he also pulled out a pregnant largemouth but I got a hit and j had to jump on the landing net so we didnt get a pic. we landed some other small bass and i got another bowfin that clamped down on my thumb when i was getting the hook out. sliced my thumb pretty nice lol. besides stepping over a huge water moccasin and nearly getting my finger bitten off by a bowfin it was a great day. later, Dan

live jumbo shiners

its not dead i live on a lake and thats my back patio he swam away just fine lakes to the right (notice the bbq grill right behind me)

awesome...thanks again.

So im hearing everywhere that crank baits are where its at right now. im down in south florida temperature averaging about 60s early mornings to around 70-75 at the peak of heat midday. visibility in the pond i fish is prob 2-3 feet what do you suggest? how do i fish it? where? please be detailed THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

anytime you have a qusetion remember one word: shoot! welcome and happy lip yankin'

im down in the coral springs area. me and a buddy were planning to go fish,clean, and eat some bluegill and blue and spotted tilapia. l heard the water out west by me have mercury levels too high to eat the fish. anybody know how true that is? if so anybody know of any near lakes clean enough to eat out of?

Lake Okeechobee? Lake Osbourne? Lake Ida? Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge? Thousands of suburban neighborhood lakes? mmhmm

yanked this guy today on a crawler. thought it might go well with the article.

honestly i would weigh out the situation. are they troublemakers? do they leave their trash behind? do they practice catch and release?are they loud? blocking peoples driveways? if theyre serious fisherman as you say they prob want to keep that pond as nice as you do. and lets be honest youre going to tell me that youve never found a "secret hot spot" ? the only thing i would be ticked about is them bringing all kinds of other people with them and parking their big ol trucks anywhere they pleased. thats my opinion.

stick them in a cooler with your beers...

You fish for cats more then you do for bass don't you. Why would you sign up on a bass forum ? what are you talking about? are you saying that nightcrawlers arent an effective way to catch bass? i live in south florida and I catch huge bass, cats, tilapia, peackocks, mayan cichlids, and bluegill on crawlers all the time. read this: http://www.trophybassonly.com/id132.htm If you fish for food there is nothing wrong with worms but a true bass fisherman uses artificals. This is the point you are missing. what kind of statement is that? who says so? why? explain the point im missing. i thought the point of fishing is to catch fish?

off subject but i have the word steez tatooed above my left elbow...nickname

im glad to here from all you guys anybody fished the c-14 lately and if so let me know about some hotspots?(relative to nearest street intersection)

i think too many anglers overlook the good ol'natural way...buy yourself 4 dozen crawlers...I GUARANTEE youll hook something

yeah, took me 12 minutes(buddy timed it) lol

caught this guy on 4'8'' ultralight set up (4lb test) on a nightcrawler

actually i think youre right about that tilapia ...i catch them on ultra light set up with nightcrawlers

23 inch channel catfish yesterday on ultra lite set up (micro lite with 4lb test) battled that guy for about 10 minutes...literally

actually it is a spotted tilapia but we do have those blue ones around here too...i catch them on ultra light set up with nightcrawlers
