Went to Lake Fairview today. Caught 3 babies on Flukes near pads. Saw lots of beds and bait, couldn't find any big fish

I fished Toho Sat. & Sun. Caught maybe 10, nothing big. There were a few 7+ pounders at the weigh-in. Kissimmee & Istokpoga are good choices. Personally, I'd get a guide and go to Stick Marsh.

Fished in a tournament on Toho Sat. I caught a few with Senko's and flipped up a couple on a craw. My partner caught a nice one on a spinner bait.

So, I'm probably stuck with my Subaru Outback for a while as my towing vehicle. It has a two rating of 2500 lbs. What's the best boat I could get that I could tow?

Anybody tried these? Anybody know where to buy them?

I use it for everything that doesn't get braid.

Instead of "parties," they should have little tournaments.

Thanks for the replies. If I decided to "gut it out" and try a jerkbait, is there a good "rookie" one that I should buy?

It's cold and I'll be fishing some clear water. I know the standard advice is to throw a jerkbait, but I have ZERO confidence in them. I don't know why, but I never get a bite. I've tried watching people, watching videos, etc. No luck. So, rather than bang my head against the wall, what should I be doing as a co-angler when my boater is jerkbaiting and I want to go to Plan B? TS

Dobyn's rods. I'm totally spoiled now. Especially at Ron's prices

Doc Irv made me some....

I can't, it seems.

I use mine as a co-angler. I love it, but it's right up to the edge of "too big." No complaints from my boaters yet, but I won't be surprised if it happens.

Is there any difference between the paintball and fishing masks?

After a few rough outings, I've decided to try to hire a "coach" that can help me improve my technique. Anyone know a pro or a guide near Orlando that you'd recommend?

I was looking at the Cabelas Magnum and Super Magnum. Do you think they're OK or too big to bring to a tourney?

I'm looking for a bag that will help me carry a bunch of stuff, but be easy to use in tournaments. What do y'all recommend?

The pond on the road between UCF and the Research Park is good.

No problem. I'm in Orlando and I'm new at fishing, pretty much. I caught this around 4pm on a hot windy day. I caught this on a plain old t-rigged purple worm in pretty deep water.

My first. 23.5" out of Butler. Caught on a t-rig worm.

Returning to tournament fishing after a year-long break. Back-seatre willing to share all costs, help pre-fish, and try to be a good partner. I'm in Orlando, but willing to travel some. PM if ur interested...
