Trokar TK 130 Size depends on what I'm throwing Mike

It's just a basic reel. Nothing fancy about it inside or out. It's a good reel to learn on them as you get better and your confidence level increases you can move up, which will help you even more to fine tune it Mike

I use baitcaters for everything, with 2 exceptions all spooled with Flouro. Your equipment is fine, I agree with Catt and Frosty you need to adjust the reel for the weight of what you're throwing and concentrate on your casting. Don't try any over the shoulder bomb casts until you're more comfortable and know how your setup works with what plastic you want to throw, in all the weight ranges you'll throw it in. The rod does the work, let it. Mike

If you go to the canal where I said, to the left of the ramp there is a flat that drops off about 6ft to a rocky area all the way to the shore. It's about 30yds out. Also, if you talked to Robert at Franks I know where he sent you. Go there at sunrise and throw a popper of your choice. There are some serious fish in there. Mike

Every tournament I bring a punch rig and a lighter t rig combo. The punch rig has a skirt and start with a pegged 3/4 weight with a june bug beaver type bait. The lighter t rig has a 3/16 free weight and start with a craw, the water will determine what color. If I catch a fish on the punch rig I'm picking that spot apart within say 20ft of where it was caught. My experience is If there's one, there's more... If just t rigging, I'll do the same but no where near as much time. If I catch a fish on either one I won't change a thing...It's not that I gave up on anything else its just I try not to chase fish and try not to force feed them. If I have no luck after awhile I'll move before I change baits, colors or weight Practice can be helpfull, but only if the info you gained is used the right way. You caught a fish...Great! You go back the next day and nothing...why. Only they know. Now you're lost...What do you do/ Where do you go now?? You start talking to youself... Should I leave and go somewhere else? Ok..Where? Should I stay and wait them out? Ok.. How long? Maybe I should use a different bait? Ok what? How long should I use that until I change again? Maybe the weight is too heavy? Maybe it's too light? See my point? Honestly some of my best days are when I didn't get any practice in.. Now all that being said you have to have a plan in a tournament other wise you'll be guessing and junk fishing all day, which is the worst position to be in. Just go fishing and don't over think it, don't give youself the pressure to succeed. If you do that, chances are you won't.. Good Luck Mike

Go to Webb Lake. Take Rt 41 south through Punta Gorda, turn left on Tuckers Grade Blvd the lake will be on your right. There are some small marl ponds you can fish also, but I'd fish the lake Coco Plum canal Rt 41 north through North Port, turn right on North Port Blvd and right after the bridge Mike
