Nice fish! If you don't mind me asking what park did you go fishing?

That was a pretty cool read. 8-)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really going to give it a shot because I've been losing too many yum money minnows from what seem simple tears to fix and I can't afford to keep buying bag after bag at $10 a pop.

I was investigating how the Wacky Rig works and ran into this product called Mend-It by accident really. I primarily fish soft swim baits like the yum money minnow but as many of you know they tear pretty easily and they aren't cheap. Was wondering if any of you guys tried it because I think it would save money big time if it works like they say. Grabbed this from the Q&A from there site. "First of all, Mend-It! is not a glue! Mend-It! simply re-catalyzes the plastic. Mend-It! does not leave hard spots in your bait like super-glues do, Mend-It! keeps your baits soft and natural as if they were new again. Mend-It! doesn't stick to your fingers, only to your soft plastic baits. Mend-It! leaves no residue at all and most repairs are invisible!" http://www.menditglue.com/

That's awesome man! Congrats to the little guy.

Very nice fish indeed. That lake looks beautiful also!

I went to that lake on the east side where 178th spilts it and fished from the bank in the park on 172nd and Sheridan and didn't have much luck finding any bass but I did pull in two huge oscars which gave me a peacock type of fight. lol! Never caught one on an artificial so I was rather excited. Next on my list is to find out what the heck those carps will bite on because there are some monsters in there. lol!

I will definitely vouch for that statement bro. Peacocks are vicious!!! ;D

I know they have boat rentals there on the weekend which kind of sux since I go on the weekdays they are open. I would give them a call and see if you can bring your jon boat because I can't recall the many times the bass are blowing up on the baitfish and are usually out of reach from casts from the shoreline. Nearly 35 fish in 4 hours!!! Man that is insanity. lol! What were you catching them on?

Me and my best friend went over to Tree Tops Park here in Broward on Monday and had a blast! Here are a couple pics of the biggest bass we pulled in. I pulled in six with the largest weighing in a little over 4lbs and had my gamakatsu 3.0 bait hook simply straightened out on one that got away. Guess that was the 10lber. : lol! My friend pulled in eight with the largest weighing 3.5lbs which brought the total to 14 quality bass for just a half day worth of fishing. Not a bad day indeed! ;D

Would love to try that place out sometime. Can you PM the location pleeeeease. I'm a catch and release fisherman only so no worries.

Very nice catch! I been hunting for that type of peacock but all I seem to catch is LM now. =)

Is this Lake Jackson in Tallahassee, FL?

Pulled in and weighed this 5.5lb beauty at a park (Tree Tops Park) located in Davie, FL for those in my area wanting to try out there luck. Since it is strictly a catch and release lake I'm betting there are plenty more and you can bet I will be back there again and again. ;D

I've been out in the sawgrass flats and definitely agree it is a blast! Do you primarily fish those monster worms on top to mimic a snake moving across the surface? Things are huge!
