X2 on wildcat lake or any of the small lakes or big ponds in the national forest out there on 40. Look for 'em on Google maps or do a search for "bass fishing Ocala national forest." Should be alot of fun,that's a nice part of Florida.

Some shiny new Mirrolure prop baits and some nice looking bladed jigs made by bluebasser.

Watershed drybags are the way to go.

The Baby Boo. I've had a lot of fun learning to fish a jig this year and these little jigs have been great to learn with.

You are not alone my friend, whenever I fish a river with any kind of current a green pumpkin tube is All I fish. If it ain't broke....

Charlie's worms tequila sunrise,

Try some Zman Elaztech worms, I keep finding them at the clearance bin at my local wally world. They float at almost a 90 degree angle to the bottom and are pretty durable.

Awesome! Those are some nice fish and that was an interesting read.

How about a beetle spin?

It's worth a try, it's a great way to present a tiny 1.5 to 2 inch bait to fish that are feeding on fry or tiny minnows. If nothing else it's just one more technique to try out.

Those are some nice catfish.

That's a good score, some fresh hooks and you'll be good to go.

I've been looking for the same thing and decided on a Penn Battle II 3000 because it's also built for inshore saltwater as well. All of the reels mentioned above are great reels though. If I found a stradic for a hundred bucks it would be hard to pass up.

Reds and as of today snook. Those things are fun and feisty as heck.

Nice man that's some ruthless money saving right there

If your okay with live bait, finger mullet or shrimp under a rattle float or popping cork is the way to go for covering water out of a kayak. I usually check out Google maps and look for grassbeds, sand bars and channels. Most of the ramps I mentioned access this kind of stuff. If you launch at haulover you'll be right at the deepest water around and I've seen some big reds, sheepshead black drum and tarpon caught there. If you want reds and bass, then check out the north Indian river near Mims and look for freshwater creeks draining into the river. Saltwater can hit or miss you might catch nothin or you might catch a 6 foot shark in three feet of water. Also go check out the Florida sportsman website and read the east central fishing reports, there will be some up to date stuff from the general area.

Nice man looks like your all set, looking forward to seeing the fish!

If you wanna go for some reds out of a kayak there are few ramps in the haulover canal area near Titusville I would recommend. Bairs cove accesses the canal itself and the north Indian river, biolab and eddy creek access the south end of the mosquito lagoon. It's about an hour and fifteen from Orlando. For bass fishing there are small lakes all over metro Orlando and the toho chain is about 40 minutes south and the Harris chain is about an hour northwest. The st. Johns can also be good if you want to try bass fishing in a river-marsh type environment.

Wow those look awesome how do attach the treble hooks to the body?

This ones tuff, on any given day it's the one that's catchin 'em for me. Choose one it would have to be a regular old curly tail worm since that's the first lure I ever bass fished with as a kid and I still use it on a daily basis, no matter the season or conditions.

Maybe over in commerce or in the Roswell area, that's my best guess anyway

Bread balls and tiny trout hooks.

"There's only bluegill and catfish in that pond, your wasting your time with that bass gear." I've stumbled into some good fishing on small ponds in these old Apple orchards by trying for bass anyways.

Now that is strange looking

Zoom Ol Monster, with a 5/0 hook, I stick with 3 colors for now: green pumpkin, watermelon seed and California 420. Might add some more next season, but we'll see. The Magnum swamp crawler is my choice for a larger size straight tail worm.
