It's gonna be bad for a while high water levels is bad in Florida they will pumping tons of water so you will have find areas that the water is clear cause most of it's gonna be all.muddied up, generally speaking summer is a tough time in South Florida for bass fishing due to high water levels from all the rain and high water temperatures. Ps-Im not an expert but this is from my own personal experience

I fish just the opposite very stained and alot of vegetation but it's been alot of fun using that light spinning setup with light line, using small top water baits makes it alot more challenging than reeling them in with steel ? I caught a 6lber on that light setup using a pop r ,he headed right into.the thick vegetation had to play him very carefully it was very exciting got the old heart racing.

My other 4 combos are tatulas and Dobyns and there is no question a big difference using those combos in balance, sensitivity and performance but it just blows my mind that those Lew's are still performing I use them for my spinner bait,rattle trap and soft plastic swim baits.

What was a purchase you made on a rod,reel or combo that really surprised you how good it was for such a low price? **Mine was Lew's blue speed stick combo $59 ,have had it for 3 years so far and counting ,bought 3 of them at the time ,have caught hundreds of bass on each one,the only issue I ever had was with one had to replace the reel handle because I caught so many fish on it ?wore out the reel handle ? went to BPS got a universal reel handle $10 **

Thanks for sharing awesome story! I think alot of us have lost sight what this sport is really about.

Lightest and most sensitive rod I've come across for $50, lighting rods are nice but nowhere near as light and Sensitive as the Sellus IMO.

One I have says jig n worm I was even thinking of using it to buzz a uvibe worm across the top of grass and pads maybe with a 1/16 oz weight it or totally weightless.

Water conducts current I'm not putting my life or my family's well being to catch a bass to eachs own.

I'm good ,have fun guys?Tuesday is looking like a great day to call in sick to work?

Thanks!I had the Sedona on that rod it was a combo my wife got me a few years ago and had nothing but problems with that reel and gave it away so I figured I would use the rod with another reel.

Thanks for replying!Funny thing is when I was looking at the reel I thought it was too small lol I was looking at 35 ,feels reel good with that sellus can't wait to try it out hopefully Monday if this weather cooperates,on a side note I had a sellus on a casting rod and that reel seat was terrible I got rid of it,the spinning rod reel seat is fine.

Thanks for the response, I was thinking a top water popper,Shakey head Texas rigged and Texas rigged grub.

I have a Shimano sellus 6ft med action spinning rod sitting in my garage so today I decided to go to bass pro shops and buy a pfleuger president PRESSP30X reel for it put on 20 lb power pro braid lo vis green equailvent to 6lb in diameter.Havent used a spinning reel for bass fishing in a long time I fish I South Florida mainly the Everglades which is very grass I was hoping to get some suggestions on what baits or lures to use with this setup? Thanks!!!

Some one already died this week at Hendrix farm in parkland from a lighting strike and one injured I've lived in Florida all my life when you have a system coming thru like it has this week choose wisely could cost you your life,be safe guys!

I fished out of a 12ft Jon boat with just a trolling motor for years and got in spots no one could and never saw anyone out there and I slayed them ,now I got a bigger bass boat and fish where everyone else does and all using the same baits,yes it's more comfortable and it's nice having gas motor but I fished areas where bass never even seen a lurer it was alot of fun.

Tv remote not this weekend in South Florida for this guy be safe,got a new flipping stick so it's driving me nuts not being out there lol better safe than sorry

There's always tomorrow it's not worth dying over,i live in Florida and it's been bad outthis last week with rain and thunder it's killing me not going out today because of the weather but it's not worth it. PS gonna spend the day watching John Wayne movies and shopping for more lures?

I think that's what great about our sport everybody does it for different reasons,I have a friend that fishes he has his own boat fishes by himself he uses fishing as therapy due to alot of combat in the middle East .

Just like everyone fishing the glades the last few months with big numbers I'm really burned out on these small fish I want to start targeting big bass,I know they are there,I fish with a guy occasionally he can't go no more than half hour without getting a fish or he gets very aggreviated,even though alot of the time the bait is bigger than the bass I'm just done with it , probably the reason I enjoy fishing by myself u can do your own thing and not be distracted just enjoy the freedom being out there away from all the madness of the world.I don't fish tournaments or fish for a living so it really doesn't matter how many or how big of fish I catch ,I just enjoy it .Got caught up on getting big numbers gotta refocus.

I did it manyyyyy years ago with my brother on Okeechobee there was no where near as many bites but much better quality bass,with summer coming I figured it might be a good way to land some good size bass in the heavy cover.

Just ordered a flipping stick and terimnal tackle for it havent done in a while but looking forward to it.

Type of skirt.I saw some punch skirts for sale a 2 pack for $6 that's why I'm asking thanks guys,!

I wanted to know if you think it would be ok to use a spinner bait/buzzbait skirt as a punch skirt?Thanks!

I was wondering if any of you guys are using a punch setup in Lox?I see alot of post in lox about frogs,uvibe worms etc but don't hear about punching.Thanks!

The other day took a friend out fishing first time in a few months I fished with someone else and I was a mess I was having problems hooking the fish,gear issues,couldn't figure out any pattern I was just throwing baits not fishing,it's weird when I'm by myself I fish so much better.
