Florida is closed, no one else please ?

Very hard to get DD in South Florida no doubt ,you can get insane numbers though.

I love fishing but not gonna put myself in siuation to do any alligator wrestling in the dark?

That's what keeps us keep going out on the water,it's a never ending challenge.

I fish the Everglades during the day I can't imagine that place at night?

I've just started reading Bill Murphys book and from what I gather so far at the VERY early stages of the book if you are targeting big bass is you have to be mentally prepared to do.it ,patience and fishing alot different than you are use to.Thanks to WRB for recommending the book I'm really enjoying it!

I started fishing 40 years ago on off as kid,teenager and adult throwing worms,spinner baits hoping to get lucky and throw it in front of a bass.Last year around this time I bought my first bass rig and joined this site and I just want to thank Glenn for starting this site and the forum members for sharing all of your knowledge of fishing it's made me a better fishermen I'm not throwing lures anymore I'm finding bass and it's changed my life.To be able to do this is a gift most people wont experience in a lifetime the connection we have made with mother nature.So Thank you!

Fluke starting tomorrow morning at 6:53 am ?

I agree with Capt Bob I fish Loxahatchee the Gators don't play around this time of the year.They are a vicious animal quick,fast and VERY powerful.It blows my mind when I come pulling in at end of the day and see tourist walking up close to the water to get a better look at them and some feed them which is absolutely insane it could be deadly. PS- I'll tell them to becareful but they just laugh or look at me like whatever but if i see someone feeding them I'll call FWC get warden out there.

I noticed that,lost confidence in it so I'm using braid and big game

This was best one today out at Loxahatchee

Tried the braid on senko I didn't like it couldnt stay in good contact with it and it didn't sink the way I like it so i put big game back on senko but braid is staying on trig weighted and big eze but mono on spinner bait, rattle trap and buzzbait also gotta buy heavier gauge hooks for braid it bends them up pretty good?

This is where I fish its Loxahatchee federal preserve it's basically a refuge that is 75,000 acres and I fish this canal system there are guys that goin the flats out there and pull good weight out but it's dangerous and have the right boat for it .So there is plenty of canal to fish with lots of opportunities but it's pretty much the same all around this refuge best I've done in canal is 7lbs but I've had alot of great days with big numbers and good size but that 5lb plus isn't easy to come by in the canal they are there though just alot of water to cover

Just ordered it on Amazon look forward to reading it thanks for recommending.

I think that the key for me I'm in South Florida so the number of fish this time of year are very high but the size isn't in the area I fish I could throw a senko all day and have a fish on every cast but they aren't big, biggest fish I've caught so far is 7lbs,I've caught quite a few fish between 3-5 lb range in my life and there is nothing like getting a fish like that ,seems that's what seperates the good fishermen from the great fishermen is understanding how to locate bigger fish which I want to learn and just be able to handle not getting 30-100 fish per trip.Thanks for all the great responses so far guys! Thanks Tom I'll check that out.

The area I fish holds alot of fish big and small and I got caught up in this numbers game of trying to catch as many fish as I can I figured out which baits would catch the most fish in this area but it was just producing numbers now I figured out which baits are gonna catch the better quality bass but no where near the amount just wondering how I'm.gonna handle that and if anyone else is in similar situation.

I'm at the point where I'm gonna approach targeting big bass.Normally when I go out I'm averageing 30 fish but there small I've rigged up some baits for this weekend to Target bigger bass hopefully I can handle not getting as many bites and focus quality and not quantity wondering how many approach there fishing trips with that mindset of targeting bigger fish and giving up all those smaller fish,how do you handle that?Thanks!

Good to hear you don't have it and very smart taking measures to avoid it.

Here you go,I'm trying it with braid this weekend after seeing this.

4/0 EWG fits perfect for me,5/0 I was having rigging issues with it.

Do a sleep study your doctor can arrange it Sleep apena is very dangerous besides what happens when you are sleeping it's when you are awake I was falling asleep at the wheel and got into car accidents , because I wasn't using a mask not getting proper sleep,I would fall asleep in staff meetings snoring and the whole nine

Thanks for info but I don't use any spinning reels,heavy grass here in Florida so I stick with baitcasters and heavy rods. Not knocking trilene XL at all depending on the application I was using it in the wrong application.

Glenn used a piece of 40lb mono threaded thru the worm thru the eye hook smart idea or just get a hook with a keeper on it to prevent the worm from sliding down? I was reading alot of pros prefer using straight shank with a keeper

Just saw a video on YouTube with Glenn fishing big worms on 3/0 EWG having no issues.

I had it about 9 years ago I've lost over 100lbs in last 9 years don't have it anymore.
