I have used these guys for trolling motor repair, very good!

Congrats, and thanks for sharing. Have caught a lot of big bass around the control gates when there is slight current flowing. Always found peacock scare out there. A lot more peacock on the Alley. Usually a quite peaceful fishing trip out there.

I have a good one that comes to the house.

Thanks again Glen, love your vids!

My personal favorite was the old Hank Parker shows. He was interesting and informative. Always included Angie, and watching the kids growing up. The kids were so polite and so respectful. My kids would sit on my lap watching and learning. Just perfect entertainment! ❤️

RIP RoLo, you were loved and respected by many brothers here and in the fishing community. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and our deep wishes go out to your family during this difficult time.🙏😌

If you fish long enough it happens to everyone. If I’m just out for a day of fun, it doesn’t bother me a bit. I was going to release her quickly, and that is as quick as it gets. I know where she lives and what she likes so I will be back. Now a tournament and I’m broken hearted.

So much depends on season, water levels, weather conditions, time of day, and water quality. In spring I search early with a HB frog, and Zara Spook. As the sun comes up high, I go with a zoom u-vibe, fluke, Senko type bait, or a swim jig. In the afternoon I reverse the bait selection.

To all our members a happy, joyous Easter with family and friends!

I would keep that lake very quiet and use a number of techniques at various time of the day.@. I would go back and tell the owner how much you appreciate his generosity! Then I would get a gift certificate to a nice restaurant in the area for him and his wife. Enjoy the serenity of the situation.

At Campbell I will tell you there is a j bump stop at the bottom of the ramp, if water levels are low make sure your motor is trimmed up or you could slam into it. From the dock you can see it sticking up. Also watch the ramp they get real slippery especially in low conditions. We had someone break a leg slipping on the ramp. good luck and let us know how you do. Look for current from m any flood gates. The fish will position around current.

They all wear gloves!!!!!!

Went to the Everglades reclamation area S1 on US 27 about 4 years ago. Got there just as the sun began to come up. Ran the levee dirt road for about 5 miles west. There are no motors allowed since canoes and kayaks are the only boats. I was bank fishing so I started with a frog. As soon as the frog landed there was an explosion. Pulled in a 8 pounder. Next cast another 7 pounder, then another. This continued for the next hour without a break. Finally as the sun got high the bite slowed. Went to a big worm and then got a few off the bottom. All of these fish were caught without moving my feet. Just fan casting as far back in the flats as I could get the bait. Caught about 40 bass in 3 hours with the best 5 just over 42 pounds, and never moved from the original spot! Over 60 years of fishing it was by far the best day for me for quality fish in one location!

No shortage in some south Florida waters. We kill everyone we catch they are apex fish, and recommended to kill on catch by the state.

I have a very simple low cost solution to any problems. Unless fish are visually out chasing baits, or it is low light conditions, early morning or late afternoon, SLOW down, then SLOW down even more. During tough times, bright skies, high sun, not much moving. Find high impact target. Drop offs, green grass close bye, shade, docks, overhanging trees, lay downs. Let the bait settle then Make two or three small jerks and then let it sit, then a slow drag and then let it sit, then snap off the bottom and let it sit. When fish are hard to catch, most bites come on the long pause after the movement. Works great with flukes, trickworms, Senko, creaturebaits, centipedes, wackyrigged worms, and tubes. The key on tough days is slow down, let them see the bait, get curious, and move into strike range. A dying bait is an easy meal! Has worked for me thousands of times. A lot of people fish way too fast especially during tough times. It’s tough to pass on a burger if it’s sitting in front on your nose.

Has happened to me many times over the years. If infected lance it, then squeeze out any puss, then antibiotic ointment, and bandaid, gone in a day or two. Simple fix, don’t ignore! Keep sanitizer in the truck!

Congrats my friend, the fish Gods are looking out for you! That is one heck of a week of fishing. I would have bet on a California lake.

Welcome to the club, I have been a member since Boy Scout Camp in 1963! It gets addictive!

Regarding lake size. The only factor that will change my decision on lake size is the wind. The windier it is, the smaller the body of water I will choose. They all have bass and other fish, but the wind can be a hazard especially on big waters like Okeechobee and Poga. I would much rather be on a small lake with lots of vegetation because it helps keep waters cleaner and wave action down. Our Florida bass like cleaner water.

As always a great video Glen. You certainly have a wide range of vids out there. Thanks for sharing your tips, some simple solutions to a nasty problem.

There are lots of good people out there, but it only takes one A/H to get all the headlines!

New Zealand in on my bucket list! One of the most beautiful counties in the world.

Sunday 2/23/25 7:00-10:30 AM sunny water stained wind 10-15 NE Went to the Everglades Restoration Area along US 27 in Palm Beach County. This is an area I had one of the best trips of my life, with many big bass. Then three other trips where I caught few fish at all. It all depends on conditions and the pumping cycles Big fish live here in good numbers, but 90% are unreachable for a bank fisherman and no gas motors are allowed. Upon arriving I noticed the water level was above the bank. I would be standing in water the whole trip. Second observation was on a Sunday not another person was fishing along the 7 miles south levee. Very unusual for a Sunday. I wasn’t expecting much! I picked a spot 5 miles out and casted across the canal into the flat. As soon as in landed I saw a bunch of big fish suddenly moving. Second cast same thing. Then a good size 23” bass hit. Things were looking up. 5 casts into the flat and another 23” bass. From that cast on I had constant action as my bait dropped from the flat into the perimeter canal. A big weightless Senko did the trick. No junk fish, all bass, but none as big as the first two caught. The bite stopped as soon as the sun got up around 9:00. The last hour nothing, not even a bite. I did have a water snake cruising the bank, and since I was standing in 3 inches of water along the levee I kept my eye out for him. I could not tell what kind it was. A great time for an hour of crazy fishing.

Doug Hannon and his beautiful clear Florida waters. Just listening to him explain his day. Doesn’t get any better then that!

I often throw plastics because our shallow weedy bodies of water have an abundance of pads, and grasses, that stick up above the surface. I usually use light weight plastics when fan casting, and wind can be a problem when casting these light baits. I use quality reels and rods and once the wind is above 15 a will cast with the wind from my back if possible, or increase breaking and shorten the distance if casting into the wind. Jigs, and heavier swimbaits are never a problem because of the weight. Wind will sometimes dictate what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. Time on the water usually fixes any of these problems. One other thing, after making the cast, I always take a quick look at the spool and make sure the line is tight as it starts starts coming onto the reel. This only takes a second, and not something I think about, it's automatic. This eliminates problems down the road on future casts. Good luck!
