Option 2 - turn around and fish the open water...thats where the big ones are But to start off - it's easier for you to catch fish by fishing the visual cover....like the grass lines around the lake

As a fellow Floridian - my advice to you is this first starting out: Bass around here like to relate to the edge of the grass. Just go down the bank, fishing the edges of the Kissimmee grass, reeds...whatever is there. pay attention to where you catch fish, if you have a fish finder - make note of as many details as you can

Bass fishing is great on the chain, even after FLW and Bassmaster coming to town - everything seemed to settle back down rather quickly. It's a great place to be.

Hi Phil - nice to see you on BR. welcome - you definitely have some wonderful knowledge to contribute. i have been in contact with you in the past - thanks for the help. i also am part of Harris Chain Bassmasters. You were AOY a few times for the club, I noticed - but was not surprised. Again, welcome aboard sir!!

They are fun to watch - which makes it easy to be a fan. Is is there something wrong with that??

ah...good catch.

Very well said - I wish I could "like" it twice Sounds like me...I caught a few too - don't remember how many- but I caught

They are actually cheaper on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Mustang-Survival-M-I-T-Activation-Fluorescent/dp/B00P0DVUK6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1494356798&sr=8-3&keywords=mustang+MIT+100

Does this include terminal tackle too? Ha ha...just joking - and welcome aboard. There are actually a number of factors that would help determine what I filled my box with....: 1. Geographical location 2. Time of year 3. characteristics of body of water Assuming I was on my home chain of lakes - I would fill my plano box with the following: 1. Soft plastic worms (green pumpkin and junebug) - both ribbon tail and trick worms 2. flipping plastics (creature baits) 3. 2 - squarebill cranks (1 green pumpkin, 1 chartreuse) 4. Medium diving cranks (same colors) I would bet I could have a good ol' time and catch fish too

I hope you didn't pay $10 for a pack of 20 like that link advertises. they can be found much much cheaper than that That does not mean that Amazon is overpriced on all of their zoom products. They were selling 20 packs of the Centipede not too lon ago for like $1.60 a pack. I bought the max they would allow, which I think was 4. Just like everything else - try to check prices in a few spots before pulling the trigger

I don't have much info on the St Johns yet - but I'm from the central Florida area too. Welcome to the forums though, it's a great online community

Lol, nice to meet you Mr. Truck welcome back

I just ordered an 893c last night from Tackle Trap...at a nice discount due to demo rod. I am super excited to get my hands on this. This will be my first purchase of a quality rod. My passion for fishing justifies this, for sure.

I let a fellow angler use my son's Kast King Legend this past Saturday. He backlashed often (the guy is a BFL co-angler, he knows how to use a baitcaster) as well. When I got home I took the kast king apart to see if I could figure out what the problem might have been. Only thing I noticed was that the #1 centrifugal brakes on the interior was in the on position. I have not got to take this reel back out and test it yet, but I encourage you to check out yours (maybe watch a how-to video on adjusting them first) and see if this helps. Some of the admins here have received a few of these reels to test them out, and have actually taken them apart to compare the guts. One of those guys might have more to say on this particular topic.

I just recently began successfully skipping under docks with a baitcaster. I have yet to catch a fish doing it - but it felt rewarding just being able to get the worm under there. I will keep at it...hope to be catching fish this way soon.

Good job young man

http://www.worldfishingnetwork.com/wfn-ambassadors/post/the-mj-rig-revealed-the-word-is-out Yup - that's exactly what it was. Thank you.

That is what one would think - but I watched a guy slow roll it all over the place all day on Saturday...and it definitely caught fish.

Wow! That was quick, thanks guys!! @JustJames, that's exactly what I am looking for!!

I fished with a guy today and he had an underspin screwed into his senko. I figured I would be able to come home and jump on the internet, and with a simple search of "screw in underspin" - I would find what I was looking for. Seems I was wrong. Is anyone familiar with these or know where to find them? I searched Tackle Warehouse (they have their own category), but didn't seem to have the screw-in kind. Only the kind attached to jig heads.

Welcome aboard

I just found the pic I took of the price tag...my memory did not serve me right...it was actually $104k. Sorry about that. But...I don't think it flies...but I bet it goes really fast.

Especially the "battle wagons" the Pros all have now. Those are probably closer to $100k than $35k....and the price tag on the Ranger at the FLW weigh in....$108k...all decked out

I just love the entertainment that the NBA Playoffs provide in general. A couple of my kids root for the Warriors - I even have 1 rooting for the Cavs. I think you are spot on about the Warrior - hitting their stride at the right time. They are a very strong team. A lot of depth and talent. And Steve Kerr is perfect for them. You are also right about Lebron not going quietly in the finals. It will be interesting to see how the east plays out for sure - last year it was the Pistons that gave the Cavs the most trouble. I don't see Boston clearing the hurdle either though...we will have to see though. Hopefully it will be a great show.
