  1. thats why i love spinning
  2. good lord lol biggest sunfish ive ever seen!
  3. veryyyy nice....but eating catfish is like sucking on turds lol
  4. we used to have a ton of them in palm beach county but a cold winter came and killed them off...and thats exactly what was supposed to happen so if you see them anywhere near northern florida dont expect them to last long...ive seen a few lately in west palm beach but not many...i love in royal palm beach and we used to have tons of them in the canals near me before that winter the reason the fwc chose peacocks was because they cant handle the cold so they wont get out of hand and make it very far up florida without being killed off in the winter
  5. if you want a bunch of good sponsors you need to learn good marketing...they are businesses and their goal is to make more money...if you dont make them more money then you arent worth anything to them...if they arent getting a good return on their investment then its just wasting resources they could put to better use say you own this business that makes steering wheels and you make your steering wheels better than the place that makes them for ford...you need to show them why they should use your steering wheels and what benefits yours brings them over what they already have...is like you are a salesman pitching yourself you have to show them you are good for their company and that you can give them a good return on their investment after all if they just gave everything away without getting good returns on their investments they would be out of business very quick
  6. i dont think it matters really...i have in white/red, bone, silver and they all work pretty good i also use the saltwater badonkadonks in most colors and catch bass on them too...mullet and all lol
  7. i mean if he dont like the feel of using a baitcaster it wont matter if hes using a cheap one or the best one ever made...ive used top of the line and bottom of the line but dont really like them spinning just seems more natural to me

    oh man are you kidding...he just went from a good gator to the bottom of the barrel lol...wonder if bill will send tim to cheat for him too
  10. i tie mine...i use fairly light tackle mostly for what im fishing for so being spooled is a concern except when im bass fishing but i still tie everything
  11. use a spinning rod
  12. we were catching small snook on sour gummy worms on a jig head yesterday hahahaha...my friend got some at the store before we got to the spot and we didnt catch anything for about an hour so we were messing with random stuff and they worked lol they just didnt stay on the hook after a few casts lol
  13. do you like using the one you have? if not then it probably wont make much diff using a different one
  14. you dont really need flashy and bright baits in dirty water....the lateral line in all fish help them sense vibration and movement to find their food
  15. good luck man all the spillways here (lake worth, lake park, etc) we have been slaying them and mostly slot/oversize ofcourse because season is over now lol...but sometimes they open them on flood stage so check out the sfwmd.gov site to see how far the ones you are fishing will be open http://www.sfwmd.gov/portal/page/portal/xweb%20drought%20%20and%20%20flood/waterconditionsodssregionalrealtimedata its being stupid right now but should be fixed soon...just pick your area and look up the name of your spillway (lake worth is S155)
  16. you pretty much cant go wrong with a fast moving lure since they are pretty aggressive...i kill them on a yo-zuri minnow reeling it in very fast
  17. i think a lot of people do lol me included
  18. spinning only here too.... i can get the line more slack with a spinning reel and i can reel the slack in very fast when needed that and i can get a better retrieve from the type of handles spinners have....well that said i use spinning for everything anyway lol
  19. learn how to put the guides and grips and such on and you can get any blank you like and paint it any color you want
  20. line counter? i use full braid but when i have to fill a real that holds 800 yards ill put backing and i usually fill till i think its good and then fill rest with braid....but then i dont have a problem if i have to waste 25 yards or so of braid or if i come up a tiny bit short
  21. limited to 2 packs lol but if you buy 2 packs $6 is better than $8 lol
  22. i have the fathom with green mirror 580 lenses and love the green mirror and since i paid $140 new for them wasnt bad on the pocket either definately worth the money
