Diggy

I broke my bass drought today, but snakes ruled again. Caught a 35 inch one and some smaller ones. Saw some with fry but they didn't even mess with my frog, even swimming it through the ball. I left them be. I have pics but am too lazy to upload, wish the site had tapatalk so I could just link from my phone.

You can get the symetre FJ for 59.99 new for 2500 or 3000 with free shipping if interested

If snakehead count Im in, if its bass, Im still scoreless

Just bought a pack in some pearlish color, cant remember. Ill try these out on a few swim jigs that I have.

Maybe I can catch a fish this month!

They finally have the same color back in stock after so long. I had to buy one and two other colors. I had to refer to this thread to check pics and sure enough it was the same pattern. Hopefully I replicate success They were back to 2.99

Many spinning reels have a much higher inches per turn than 7 to 1 ratio baitcasters 34-41 ipt on a stradic FJ in comparison to 30 on a chronarch in its highest speed

I dont mind rain until you cant fish in it

I have been in a fishing slump the past few weeks, they drained the lakes and canals by me also. I might have to resort to bread. Hopefully this weekend is better than last, running from rain.

lol@ the goop dripping of it in the picture, like Slimer hit it Huge fish

Where is this lake you speak of, Id like to make a trip there. I will be in Broward this weekend, shoot me a pm if its accessible

No biggie, I used to put them down initially until I started to see them more and watch them interact with other fish doing no harm. Theres a lot of false info going around with them. Many of my friends have stopped killing them based on myself and the word of others. Its overblown and this is common

Im not sure if you have seen bass attacking the Snakehead Fry, but they get to feast on large amounts of snakehead too I took a pic of snakes guarding the fry, what you didnt see in the pic was the school of bass sitting waiting and at times trying to attack .

http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/14/3286192/broward-canal-yields-dubious-record.html Gestring said the FWC also considers the bullseye snakehead permanently established in Northwest Broward. Scientists expect they will eventually escape into the Everglades but believe the warm-water species probably wouldn’t survive north of Orlando. In the Northwest Broward canal system, they don’t appear to have wreaked ecological havoc, Gestring said. After a decade, there is no sign they’re doing any more damage than 22 other foreign fish that also have settled in Florida’s freshwater canals and lakes. “What we’re seeing is that the native fish population seems to be holding strong,’’ he said. “We’ve not been able to detect any measurable impacts by bullseye snakeheads on any of our individual native species.’’ ------------------------------------- from the Miami Herald Article - Snakehead Posing No Threat Early results from the FWC's most recent electrofishing study in the C-14 (stunning fish with a mild electrical charge so they can be examined) shows that although snakeheads are abundant, they are not destroying populations of largemouth and peacock bass -- the two main gamefish species in South Florida lakes and canals. FWC scientists using the marine version of electric cattle prods caught as many as 1.58 snakeheads per minute weighing up to 9.2 pounds. Examining the stomach contents of 127 dead snakeheads, they found the remains of 13 of their own species plus one bluegill, 11 mosquitofish, seven warmouth, two peacock bass, several lizards, bufo toads, small turtles, a rat and a snake. No remains of largemouth bass were found. Looking at 68 peacock bass' stomachs, the researchers found 16 snakeheads. In 41 largemouth bass, they found one. "They seem to be complementary predators," Shafland said, referring to snakeheads versus peacocks and largemouth. "We don't see one dominating the others. I think they're all pretty much holding their own."

Go to the pump house and catch snook

Whats your price range and typical fishing style (bait, weights) That will help cut down choices

Mine was smooth but the bezel fell out around the line guide so I returned it. The only choice I had was 6.4:1 since I use LH.

If all fails

not here in Fl

At the end of the day they are still using abu gear I guess. Maybe its based on certain levels of sponsorship, possibly what they are comfortable with. I did see the mgx extreme used in the classic and a rod many of us had no idea what it was.
