Scales
thinking of picking up one of those cheapo econoscales(or the BPS brand) just so i could know the weight of some of the fish i catch. i thought about the ones with with hook that goes threw the fishes lip , but i dont want to be putting any more holes in their mouth than necessary. and the way some of the peacocks thrash around when you lip em , i dont see that going too well. what do you guys use?

Anyone Know About This Popper?
i was organizing tackle the other day and found this guy. someone have given this to me years ago. i kinda threw it in the box and forgot about it. apparently its hand crafted out of wood with a wire through the lure. it weighs about 1/2 oz and is 3 1/8 inches long. its from ahabs marine products out of miami , fl.

Scent In Plastics Bag
i was thinking about picking up a thing of scent like megastrike but i would rather be able to put it in a bag of plastics than smearing it on each bait. does anyone put scents in their plastics bag to let them soak? what do you use?

Leader Material
I guess its a confidence thing but I prefer as thin a line as I can get away with. The lakes I fish in my area are pretty clear and heavily fished also.

Leader Material
Been using cxx as leader material for a while now but I'm thinking of changing up to something else. What I like most about it is the abrasion resistance since I fish lakes full of coral rock with steeeeep drop offs from shore. I've thought about floro but I remember reading something about floor breaking easy once its knicked. So I'm thinking a different copoly would be best for me. I'll be using it in 6 ,10 and maybe 12# test. Excellent abrasion resistance is number one priority with low visibility beig a close second. What do you guys suggest?

First Decent Outing In A While

First Decent Outing In A While
ive been dying to get out fishing for more than an hour for a couple months now...and i finally did before work today lol. went to the usual spot and cast my fluke jr to a pair of peacock bass for a bit untill they had enough and swam off. so i decided to try for the LM. i rigged up a roboworm straight tail on a 1/0 ewg with a 1/16oz weight and cast it just past the drop off. i missed a bite on the fall so i recast. something hit it again , but i did a he-man hook set and broke the line at the hook (bad knot). so , of course i quickly retied and rigged up the same thing i was throwing....i got a bite and set the hook. as im bringing up this fish form the deep , i was expecting a smaller fish the way it was lazily fighting... that is until he realized what was going on. then he took off! we went back and fourth for 20 seconds or so with a few very nice jumps. i ended up getting my feet wet cause the water was so low i didnt want to drag him across the shallow water thats riddled with rock. i lipped him and snaped this pic.. 3-4 lbs i think but a great way to start the day. i need to find more time to get out there now that these guys are out again..

where to fish in miami from the shore
what part of miami will you be at? flukes , stick baits , brush hogs , finesse worms and lizards are always with me when i head out to the water. floating rapalas , shad raps and spooks are great hard baits also. shiners are always a good choice too if youre just out to catch fish.
