Lol I grew up shark and flats fishing my whole life. This is actually more of a challenge and more fun to me

From what everyone's saying an what I've read I gonna try throwing them. What's the worst that will happen I'll get skunked lol

Doesn't sound crazy at all. I'm still acquiring lures since switching over to freshwater. So I haven't necissarly found the hot ticket at my ponds. I mostly throw yum dingers. Other than that rooster tails have been great on occasion. Rattle traps I've ha a couple hook ups but nothing landed on them. I got some top water frogs and chatter baits to try now tho

Man ok awesome I didn't know it was so versatile

Ahhhh ok awesome. I'm so excited.

Ahhh very true it has been chilly here in fl

So I bought some soft plastic and hollow body frogs. We have a lot of grass and lil pad beds in our lakes and ponds here in fl. How do you guys know when to use this tactic or when is it best to fish them and how do you choose too?

It is! It's so odd. Does anyone else run into inconsistency on what they bite on in certain ponds?

Oh I love being out there as the sun comes up. Just nothing seems to hit in the canals or pond. But if I come back after the suns out for a few hrs the ish are seen and the hook ups improve drasticly. It just seem so odd

So i see everyone talk about and read about early morning bass fishing. We have a couple large ponds and canal systems loaded with bass here in fl. If you go out early morning as suns coming up there's no activity aT all no bites. Go out afternoon when suns out and up there everywhere and biting and sunning. Do we just have lazy fish here?

It does it would be different if I saw it jump or something im ok with loosing those ones lol. I really thought I finally got a hog. Al, I've been able to catch is 1-3 pound max fish lol

Fishing a local nature preserve pond today was throwing a rattle trap which haven't had any luck on. Got a real good something on lol. It stayed close to the bottom I never got it to the surface water is dark and about 3-5 foot deep. Fought a few mins then it went up under the Boardwalk and popped the hooks. So mad lol. Idk of it was a bass, or catfish or carp or what

Glad to hear im not the only one lol.

It has done pretty well for me. I'm gonna Ben tying some frogs and chatter sits this weekend

Very true man I'm excited lol

No I didnt. Only real lures I've used besides soft plastics is rooster tails, and some rattle traps. I haven't caught a d**n thing on the rattle traps tho.

Thanks so much for the help everyone! I'm gonna hit the tackle shop Saturday morning and see what I can find to use with them

Thanks a lot I'll look at that now

What are you guys using as a soft plastic trailer bait on your scan chatter Baits? I got some but want to know what yall are using

Awesome I have some watermelon reds to try also. I've had good luck on the stick type baits just the flukes messing with me. I'm gonna give them a shot tho this week

Wow. That is interesting. I didn't know to down size lures if there lock jawed. That's great to know

Yeah I. Gonna fish up the canal kinda throw down the length of it. General jeans and a brown hoodie sweater and Camo hat

Hahaha I couldn't imagine

I hear the pink flukes are popular I'll give them a Try also

I'm fishing them in padded and grassed ponds and canals. I manage the slack an in using braid so I feel thins well. But I'm sure y'all are right. Thanks so much for the insight and help
