Thanks everybody! I just got a goPro so if all goes well I'll have a video to share in about a week. First day is tomorrow, hopefully it doesn't rain to much.

Not sure if it's a great idea to go 4th of July weekend but its the only weekend I could go this month. So what's working and what's not? I'm going to have 3 days to fish all day. I know the southern end can produce some trophy bass. Need your help guys!

It may cost $700 but it's very easy to torrent and install. Not that I've done that before.......

My first time fishing at night I went to a small lake by my house. We were there for about 10 minutes and we kept hearing weird noises. Sounded like "whoosh" lol..... Back n forth back n forth for about 20 seconds. We looked around for cars, didn't sound like one, airplanes, helicopters, nothing. About 5 minutes later I noticed a pale orange light up in the sky it wasn't the size of a light from an airplane. Then I heard the sound again and it got very small about the size of the light from a star and disappeared instantaneously. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. It didn't pop up again after that. I do believe in life outside of earth, make fun if you want, but that ***** was scary!

This wouldn't work for peacock. Peacock are built way different that largemouth. They have a bigger girth but less length.

Nice peacock! I'm gonna guess that it's around 5-6 lbs

I believe they do. When I got mine, fresh and saltwater, she asked if I wanted 1 yr or 5 yr which comes with the hard card. The waterproof receipt for the 1 yr begins to fade and can scratch off easily after only a few months of having it.

"LOL! Yeah we know eachother. I introduced him to the forums a few months ago. We were at a friend's house in a gated community. Our friend has lived there for a few years and always goes fishing in his backyard for pea's. Well Weston caught the largie and some guys in a golf cart passed us a gave us a look. Not more than 5 minutes did the woman come and tell us to leave. I guess he reported us. The community definetly allows fishing because no where around the entire lake are there no fishing signs. She also said do you guys live here and we told here yeah and she kind of hesitated to answer us back and said we still had to leave. Doesn't matter. We'll still go fishing there. You can't stop the pea chasing." I did indicate I was fishing with a homeowner......

How are non property owners supposed to get rule books for that community? WHY DO THEY CARE SO MUCH?? Lol

Thanks for this. Part of the lake we were fishing is part of his community. We were fishing maybe 20 ft from his backyard, not in someone elses yard but on the part that you can enter from the street, from outside his community. No signs what so ever. Even there we can't fish? Also he's been fishing there for about 4 years and no one ever has said anything to him. Except this time. It's a great spot to fish at and holds some trophy bass and peacock in there. But we are allowed to fish from his backyard correct?

Yeah we did laugh in her presence. And yes my buddy did say he lived there, because he does. So it is true. We didn't lie. To add to that, she lied by telling us there was a sign, and I quote "somewhere in there". How do you not laugh at that? She works there, lies to us and says we can't fish there, then lies AGAIN by saying there was a sign saying there was no fishing allowed. We were on public property outside the community. I agree now looking back at it, that we were rude. But just a little. In no way was I immature. Laughing is immature? I can't connect those two. And yes. All for a fish. About the 6'5" 250# man, if I did laugh in his presence, what is he going to do? By analyzing your wording, the only scenario I can put together in my mind is a lawsuit. What being bigger makes you have more authority over someone? If that's how you see it then fine. But I don't think that way, that sounds like a bully to me. No disrespect to you, but I think it would be best if we stop replying to each other. It's probably only going to get worse.

To be honest, and I'm not trying to act like a "macho man" but yeah I probably would have still laughed. Mostly because we weren't laughing AT her, we were laughing at what she was saying. And what would being 6'5 250# do for him exactly? I'm not trying to be rude or anything to you, I'm just curious as how your looking at this scenario.

Try bread and small fly looking lures. Like little jigs.

LOL! Yeah we know eachother. I introduced him to the forums a few months ago. We were at a friend's house in a gated community.

Haha. I was with him there when we got kicked. Some larger, black woman came up to us and told us there was a sign that said no fishing. We asked her where the sign was. She said " It's here somewhere." We just started laughing at her and left. But we stayed at the same lake at another spot where we caught more largemouth. Fun day overall!

I'll say 6.

Nice! Hopefully I can beat my PB this year too! It shouldn't be hard living here in Florida

I fish Pembroke Pines and Miramar when I go fishing for peacock. I never go there for largemouth. But if your willing to fish for peacock go to Pembroke Falls I believe its on Sheridan. It is residential but I fish the two lakes outside of the gate. Also a little north of Pembroke Pines on Sterling and Flamingo there is a shopping center with a Taco Bell/KFC right next to it is a canal that runs a few hundred yards east then turn up north and right behind the shopping center is a little pond. Fish that with live shiners and if you go early a Rapala Skitter Prop will work for topwater. You can also use a Rapala XRap in perch or gold color. If you google earth it you will see what I'm talking about. BJ's Tackle and Bait shop sells live shiners and minnows and rapala's. Good luck, if you need anymore info PM me. A few spots for largemouth that are close to the Pines and Miramar area are Tree Top Park. Vista View Park and the Griffin Canal.

Went out today and fished the Alley on MM 35 going west then went north to MM 38. Fly fished all day and caught about 15 bluegill and 3 bass on fly. Switched to pitching with a Havoc Crawfish when I went to MM 38. Caught about 22 bass including back to back 4 pounders. Was an awesome day even though it was supposed to rain. Going snook fishing tomorrow! Wish me luck!

I agree. Not to be an a** or anything but did you weight it with a scale or did you just eyeball it? Again not being mean just askin.

I 100% agree with you. I've pm'd him about 3 times and everytime he replies with the best info. Great guy all around. Always willing to lend a hand and share his tips and tricks to the everglades! THANK YOU GEO!!!

If only I knew what he looks like hopefully I have a good day and catch 100+ fish. I've never had a day like that, must feel awesome!

Thanks guys. Most likely going to hit up the Alley on mile marker 38. Woohoo!

I'm going fishing this weekend to get my mind off of a few things that happened this week. I'm equipped with a boat so nothing will be a problem. I live in Miami. If you could go fishing this weekend where would it be? Thinking somewhere in the Everglades like Alligator Alley. Any fishing reports?

Thanks guys for all your input. After about 2 weeks of constant use and practice I've gotten a lot better with it. I can cast my 1/4 oz rapala now with no problems and am lowering my brakes a lot. The only time I have backlashes the last two times I went fishing were when my rod collided with my buddy's and when I hit a tree because of the wind. Lol. Thanks again!
