Santa Fe lake in North central Florida…
Pads and eel grass are slim pickings around Drayton now. that’s why I go to Bear creek or the Ocklawaha and the little connections in between. Culprits still work here

Santa Fe lake in North central Florida…
I fished the Ocklawaha 1/2/2022 which is close. 7 1/2 curly tail June bug color. All my bites were very close to shore and around the trees. Hope it helps on a side note, I didn’t know of George’s lake, I live near the north end of Lake George thought you were taking about that until I googled it.

Christmas fishing goodies.
I got a small travel tackle bag and some new braid cutters. We want to go out west this spring and spend a couple months running around. I’ll get some fishing in too.

Flake color
Depends…. For the blueish color of plastics I like black and green. For the greenish color I like black and blue.

New Bait Infatuation
The whooper plopper for me, and I still haven’t caught one fish on them. But I’ll still keep one tied on and laying on deck.

The never ending quest to improve
I try to keep what physical skills I do have, ( casting, pitching ,etc) honed. By fishing more or just casting from the dock. As far as new stuff, I pick it up here on Bass Resource. Some of it works for me, some don’t. This site and the internet have helped a lot of people keep learning and improving their fishing skills.

Are You Fast or Sloooowwwww?
I’m slow…. I like to systematically work the bank or area. Short burst with the trolling motor and drift. I am really just slow poking along, I don’t get in hurry at all. Fishing is really relaxing to me, I bet the paramedics would want to put the paddles on me and yell “CLEAR” if they ever check my pulse while I’m fishing.

If You Could Live Anywhere to Fish for Bass, Where Would it Be?
I pretty happy where I’m at, I live on Lake George, which is St Johns River. Fishing’s pretty good here. Largemouth and strippers are here. The bream and specks are here too, if you want to fish for them. Shrimp come up the river in the fall and that brings reds and flounder.

Using reels the "wrong way"
I have always casted right handed and reeled with my left. I can cast right hand and switch and reel right handed, but it feels awkward. Can I cast left handed?…… ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn , even if I was inside with all the doors and windows shut…..I’m a danger to myself and everything around me.

Buzzbaits
I buy the Walmart ones, you know the dollar apiece ones in the box on the bottom shelf. Sometimes you might have to tweak them here or there, but no big deal. I like to put about 1/3-1/2 a curly tailed worm as a trailer on it sometimes. I save my old plastics and reuse those too if I can for trailers. I saw a guy on Utube reworking buzz baits and spinner baits from Walmart. It was pretty interesting.
