The fjs were also discounted in many stores as well. The plantation store had some 5ks but are out now, maybe WPB will follow suit soon.

Snakehead Roundup
One of my friends fishes the tournaments and I didn't realize there was another one that just past until another member posted about it. I asked my friend how it went and he said people are complaining that there aren't many big snakeheads around. The tournaments are monthly and for "population control" but now "I have heard" that they may cut the schedule of them down a bit to help with the numbers and fish size for the tournament. I'm just stating what was told to me. It seems counterproductive to the original purpose of "population control" if true, but I guess when enough people start to complain, stop paying to play, things may have to be adjusted from a financial and enjoyment standpoint. People have been complaining about the normal winners that seem to be always winning. The guys catching giants because they know all the good spots from fishing everyday. I wonder what was expected if you have that many numbers of anglers coming out to the tournaments killing 100s at a time when plentiful, the daily anglers out there killing them all year alongside the FWC's normal sweeps. Usually the spawn is easy pickins but the fry get clobbered by bass once the adults are gone, Ive witnessed this 1st hand. Ive seen less spawning pairs than I normally do in the normal places, maybe they have relocated to a private resort. Now with the popularity of catching them it seems more people are fishing for them, many catch and release but it seems many more still kill them. You have to go into gated communities and less traveled/ accessible areas many times to catch a few. Some days we may get lucky and catch a bunch but the normal spots have become over fished. Has anyone else noticed the same trend or is it just me? I may start my own no kill tournament one day if allowed which would need volunteers to be with teams to officially weigh, measure each fish and also take pics. Everything can be tallied up at the end of the day....If I were President yessir

Bps Carbonlite Rods, Would Like Some Feedback
I have both, the carbonlite grip is more comfortable to me. The *** has a longer warranty and looks stunning Both great rods tho cant go wrong either way and having both would be even better

Bps Carbonlite Rods, Would Like Some Feedback
The 7ft6 Heavy action rod is so light weight in feel, its crazy. I plan to get one of these eventually, I wish I got one instead of the 7 mh carbonlite since I have so many of that type of rod.

I have a Koppers with over 50+ bass and snakehead on it combined. Its been glued numerous times and it had to be retired after I broke off a big snakehead at the bank. I got the frog back but the snakehead took the hooks. Your opening pic actually looks way more worn that my frog looks. edit here it is

Thinking About Florida
Its crazy, a friend of mine told me they tried to rob him at the pier, it was late but there were tons of other people there. Trouble will sometimes find you when you arent even looking for it, Ive been in a few incidents myself unfortunately. Gators seem to be the least of the problems we have these days.

Which Cranking Rod: Powell Diesel Or Daiwa Ballistic?
I havent fished either but if the price is the same and both have good actions, Id pick the daiwa based on a 5yr warranty vs no warranty....Im not sure what the replacement cost is if any but that would be a factor for me

Is South Florida Really This Bad In The Summer?
Its hot, slow, water levels keep fluctuating from rain n drain.....oh yeah its hot. My bank fishing areas have been a chore to fish. Hopefully Ill have a boat soon. Ive been watching more fishing clips on youtube that actually attempting to fish the past few weeks. I've switched over to wading salt water a bit, even if its slow Im actually swimming somewhat so its not that bad.

Ever Gotten Sea Sick?
We went on a drift boat before my friend got married. It was horrible. We were anchored and the seas were so rough. 95% of us were sick on the boat including other fishermen. The boat that came back earlier was full of HS kids and everyone got sick. Supposedly it was 14 foot seas in the morning. I was also on a cruise ship with a broken stabilizer, that wasn't fun.
