in about 4 months we will have "winter" ....so it's still summer .....we only get 2 seasons here....

that's bad.....but my buddy had his trailer stolen from the ramp area once.

Mann's Razorback Pig.....Johnson Silver Minnow...Snagless Sally spinnerbait...Rooster Tail...any Mepps inline spinner..Heddon Sonic....also Rebel WeeR crank bait.

this in a nutshell......

I enjoy the whole process.....if it is about the fight ya can't beat a Tarpon on a flyrod.....

I built my first one for me because I wanted a specific rod for worming. built a few for friends, but mostly I build for me because I like to. and I don't do it for money.I will build for a friend if asked. I have 8 that are my builds.

Zoom SS-Utail worm, Texas rigged......junebug....watermelon red......

Stick Marsh/Farm 13.......was there the day it opened..was the best place on the planet at the time.......

was the chicken grilled or fried? just wondering....never got hungry on this site until I saw this thread........

I work at the Space Center and have seen more Gators this year than ever. Only saw a salty once.

Welcome aboard.....ask anything.........anytime..........

all day every day......no matter what I'm doing.........when it comes to fishing ,it's what I live by.....

just no..............no....

it is a mutual respect thing for sure. my wife will tell me sometimes to get out and fish when I've been burning the candle at both ends for my sanity. I really know it's for hers also.

same here.......

bubblegum.........no, never,......never again.....ever...

I agree with Catt. get both evening and morning bite........can't beat it.

@SC53 yes I've been there a few times since April. It does look different, still fishes good though... Spillway was on fire at the end of May, water was going good then.

Stick Marsh was the best place to fish for numbers and size for a long time before FWC and SJRWM got involved and started spraying. My pb came from the Stick. It fishes a whole lot different than when it first opened. Used to throw anything you could and tear them up. Now you have to actually find the spots, look for birds divebombing baitfish etc. I throw a lot more hard baits now than before. Still love going there though.

Bomber Long-A......original Rapala......Husky Jerk.....Smithwick Rogue...

Yes..........

27...........

I also will defend Okeechobee till I die. I live 20 minutes from Headwaters and would rather go to the Big O.

Years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Houston at an outdoor show in central Fl. and got to watch him cast a spinnerbait [what else?] into coffee cups from different distances and was amazed at how accurate he was. Made me go home and work more on my casting.
