As Pz3 said try the islands in the middle of the lake, but watch the wind direction. If it's out of the south or west start in the area between them. Good Luck Mike

Because of the hard bottom near the entrance to the creek on both points, and near the poles, that area has been a hot spawning area for the last few years. I haven't been there yet this year but it may be a good area to start at. Mike

Reminder I have cabin reserved at the lodge and have a bedroom available with 2 twin beds in it. My wife and I, Macmichael and his bride would love the company. Post or pm me if you need a place. Thanks Mike

Thanks Brian..We can't wait to go and meet you guy's. Mike

Skinny Dipper, or Big EZ for casting with varying retrieves, Super Fluke [only on spinning gear] or Sluggo for twitching Mike

The lowest I go on a baitcaster is 30#. Tried 20# one time and didn't like it, 20# on spinning Mike

I'm with this guy! Mike

"Where Ya going Papa, can I go"? "Gonna go rip some lip's baby" "Ok then see ya when you get back" Mike

Howdy If anyone else decides to go and wants to stay at the resort, I have a cabin reserved and have a room with 2 double beds available. I don't snore unless my wife wants to talk all night Can't say about Macmichael tho Post or pm me and let me know.. Thanks Mike

I know how you feel, been there. Just work at it. If you ever get bit while in the process of switching, you'll know what I mean. Mike

Im right handed but for the life of me I just cant get comfortable reeling left handed. Don't know why. I feel fine reeling a spinning reel left but not baitcasting...weird I tried pitching right and reeling left, and I can barely tolerate that, but Im working through it.. Mike

Nah Only when she wants to talk all night!!!! ;) Mike

15# Invisex, its got just the right amount of stretch to it that I think is just right. Mike

The best BPS branded anything imho are thier senko style soft stick bait in the 2 tone Okeechobee color. Ive had the best luck by far down here useing those for t rig or skimming across the grass on almost every lake in Central and So Florida. Mike

If any of you folks deciede to come along and are looking for a place to stay, I have a cabin reserved for my wife an I. There is plenty of room and would welcome the company. Please post or pm me and let me know. Thanks Mike

If anyone has space to share for us please PM me and let me know. Thanks Mike

Great!! Spuds and I are in... I'll send the form and make reservations in the morning. Really looking forward to this Mike

Chris The dates on the first page says Wed Apr 30 to Monday May 5th. But abov Chris Spuds [wife Jean] and I are thinking about going if that's possible but the dates on the first page says Wed Apr 30 to Monday May 5. But above you wrote Monday to Monday Can please confirm... Mike

Agree... It seem like the Sweet Beaver is the only type of flipping bait in heavy cover that I've been useing. I don't even bring any other type with me now. Mike

Other than the Carbonlight and crank rods, BPS rods don't get much love here but believe me when I tell you the JM Sig Series rod is a very good stick. A little heavier than a CL but strong as heck. For what you're looking for, and with the spring sale and trade in special starting up, take a look. I think you'll be surprised. Mike

Wacky....20# Power Pro with 10# Floro leader (spinning reel) Spinner bait....12# Yo Zuri (Baitcasting reel) Cranks....15# Floro, but soon to be 12# Yo Zuri also (Baitcasting reel) Mike

Yep^^ Mike

Dont mess around with something that can save your life. There are different styles with different features, but as Jay said its worthless if you dont have it on, regardless what kind of water you're on.... Ok rant over, I have a Auto inflatable Mustang. Mike

Felix Well, then with a good set of eyeballs keeping the line in sight and a heavier weight to get it down to the depth you need to be, you should be good. Good Luck Mike
