Lews Speed Spool. Great real for a great price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lews-Speed-Spool-Baitcast-Freshwater-Fishing-Reel-7-1-1-Right-Hand-RH-SS1SH-/270852890423?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f10171f37

I had some luck yesterday. Nothing big but some good numbers. Things should really pick up again in October.

Wow, there are tons of people from Jax on here now.

Finally got my hooks. 2/0 EWGs. I don't really use EWGs but you can't complain about free.

http://www.mattlures.com/U2Gill.htm Haven't used them but have heard nothing but good things about them. I really need to try them out eventually.

Veritas is a great rod. I love mine.

I need to get over there and fish some of these spots with ya'll. And I'll agree with MCS, junebug is pretty much the best color for anything in Florida. I fish others like watermelon and pumpkin colors but junebug is great.

The storm has finally moved away so we can dry out some. We got over 20 inches of rain where I'm at.

Did pretty good even though the pond has flooded into the streets. Caught a lot of small ones plus a couple of nice ones. Even got my first crappie ever. Caught them on a wacky rigged Black/White senko. Just dropped it in where water was flowing in and they were crushing it.

Did well even though the pond has overflowed into the streets. Caught some nice bass and even my first crappie.

As soon as I get another break in the rain I'm gonna head out again. Hopefully I get a big one.

Nice, that's a fat fish! I caught my biggest fish of the year so far right when the last tropical storm came through, it really gets them going. I can't wait to get off work and fish.

I'm also a bank fisherman and I recently bought the Tackle Warehouse backpack and it is awesome. It can hold 3 3700 size boxes, a smaller 3600, has a built in worm binder, and has tons of pockets for other stuff like glasses, pliers, water bottles, phone, etc...

I stayed out until it started raining so hard I could barely see lol. The fish were very very active and were literally right up on the edge, caught some in less than a foot of water. Make sure to look for any flowing water into the pond like drain pipes etc.. Caught a few hanging around those as well.

Congrats man, that's awesome! I went out fishing in the rain and the fish were on. Jigs, cranks, worms, they were smashing everything. The pond is well over the banks though and it might flood.

Doctors Lake? I've never fished it before but it's a pretty popular spot, I always see a lot of nice bass boats in their. There are lots of docks to fish around. Swimming Pen creek which runs into Doctors Lake and Black Creek just south of their are good spots also. Man I need a boat lol

Look up 30°22'33.18"N , 81°47'34.56"W with Google Earth. All of those ponds in that area hold huge fish, most of them are old farm ponds that have been around 20+ years. It gets a good amount of pressure though so fishing can be tough sometimes. I've caught some 8s out of there and have seen some 10+ caught.

I have a couple spots with some monsters in them on my side of town. 9+ lbers.

All of this rain has been killing the fishing for me. I caught one around 7 right after that last tropical storm came through and really nothing since then. It probably doesn't help that I don't really have a way around and I have to fish the same pond all the time lol. Hopefully I can get something soon and try out some of these other ponds ya'll talk about. Has anyone ever fished the pond beside Gander Mountain? It looks really nice with lots of pads but I've never fished it before. I also saw some really nice spots in the Argyle area the other day that I want to try.

Owner and Trokar offsets for 90% of my fishing. I very very rarely will use EWGs anymore because of hookup problems.

I ALWAYS use it when I'm using mono or floro. Helps with memory and casting.

6.4 is the most versatile. 7.1 is good for fishing plastics and jigs because it lets you take up slack in your line quicker and it's nice to have for those fish that run right at you. If you're going to use it for plastics, spinners, and cranks I'd go with the 6.4. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lews-Speed-Spool-Tournament-Baitcaster-Fishing-Reel-Lews-TS1H-6-4-1-/360466626602?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ed7c382a#ht_861wt_905 Can't beat that deal.

I bought the same reel from the same seller and I love it. It's a lot of reel for only $118.

Zoom or Rage Tail Lizard texas rigged with a 3/16oz weight. I've caught more big fish on those than everything else I have combined.

I recently purchased the Speed Spool Tournament and I love it.
