Spot fat john 50 on heavier copoly or mono. I throw it with 17# and it runs about 12-18 inches. Waddlebats will do the same. I have better success with these.

Been there. If you blink driving through you'll miss it.

Good to hear man! I know you are fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle. These set backs are painful on the mind when we want to be working out but can't!!! I'm in that boat now as well. Blew my shoulder out two and a half months ago and still it's not healthy! I'm actually getting depressed not being able to make it to the gym! Like you my shoulder will heal and all will be right. Glad to hear you're back! Always seems to happen to me when im peaking too!

May have been mentioned already but make some space for some finesse baits. 1/8 or less ball head jigs. 3 Inch flukes or worms. Micro cranks such as the rapala floating balsa baits. Sometimes it saves the day.

Agree. I've caught way more fish jigging it compared to slow rolling it. If you see a follower, kill it and let it sink to the bottom.

Bamafrogs had them in stock a couple days ago edit:gone now

Real prey. Joe will paint it however you like and will last MANY fish. It's molded from a real shiner as well.

Look for differences within the mat such as where two different weeds meet. Look for stumps or cat tails within the mat and punch toward the base. If there is current punch the weed "points" as sometimes they ambush from the outside. Pump your bait slow, faster, let it sit on the bottom even or pump it up and down only a few inches from the top. Eventually you could figure out a pattern. If you feel anything set the hook right away.

Dink striper?? Lol. Am I missing something!

I purposely pi$$ off my wife and eventually tells me to go fishing to get rid of me for awhile.

Signs No fishing/Trespassing. Fort Myers Sucks.

My area looks like that too. 95% of them are off limits though

For Florida grass fishing I'd skip on the hudds. I use what every other guy in Florida is using now and that's a paddle tail type like gambler ez for example. The hudds tear up to quick and they have gone up exponentially in price over the years. I prefer to use weedless shads or six inch versions in clearer water with gravel or Boulder bottoms.

1/16 ounce ball head jig and zoom tiny fluke. Swim it and jig it. Sometimes they will follow and if they don't commit kill it and they eat it off the bottom when it's resting there.
