@GRiver Saint Johns Bass Anglers. Jacksonville, St Johns, Orange Park mostly surrounding area, however we have a member from Gainesville. Are you interested in Joining?

Let us know how you did.

Any Deer hunting opportunities? 😁 Never hurts to ask.

What is a “Swag Bag”?

@ woolleyfooley E-Bay is loaded with them.

“Since its creation in 1968, Rodman Reservoir has become one of the nation’s most celebrated largemouth bass destinations. Frequently found on the list of “Hall of Fame Club” waterbodies producing 13-pound fish or larger in FWC’s TrophyCatch program, it stands as a jewel for anglers. Over its long history, the reservoir has provided countless families and outdoor enthusiasts with unforgettable experiences, whether from a kayak or a bass boat. Removing it would erase local heritage and well-established economic benefits to area businesses such as bait shops, hotels, rental properties, restaurants, and more.” Further, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, freshwater fishing in Florida has a $1.7 billion impact. Additionally, Florida’s anglers generate over $64 million in funding for conservation through the “user pays, public benefits” structure of the American System of Conservation Funding. Rodman Reservoir is a key piece of freshwater fishing in Florida, so removing it would result in not only a negative impact to the recreational fishing industry itself, but also state and local economies.

Welcome from Jacksonville Fl..

This ^^^^^^^^^^^

All over the news....Shouldn't take long, Police Dogs?

Not a chance, I do not even like the ones that clip to the lip as I have seen way to many come off.

Now you have a bunch of NED baits!

I own 4 of these for exactly what you mentioned you want it for. GREAT rod and price point, they have held up now to 4 years of tourney fishing and I am hard on tackle. Either 7.3 or 7.4

I don't think there is another system. Have you tried just an O ring? If you are getting 10 bites an hour that's VERY strong! I could only wish for that!

Yep.

@LottabassThey come in a few sizes, have you tried them?

As a longtime co-angler this is what I use to carry two bundles of 4 rods each. The elastic ball around the handles and the Velcro strap around the blanks @ about 1/2 way up.

@Lottabass VMC crossover rings do not run the hook through the bait. Or you are using them incorrectly.

NICE ONE !!!!!!

@whitwolfYep 16" min is tough to get a limit. I thought N.C. had a 12 inch minimum? Here in Fl. we have a 5 fish limit, only one over 16 inch. Come tourney day we have to get a waiver from the FWC to have more then one fish over 16" which is easy to do in a club, but a pain for the tourney director.

Welcome, from Fl.

It is just vibration. No worries. The "singing" or "sawing" sound you sometimes hear from braided fishing line under strain is a result of friction and vibration. Here's a breakdown of how it happens: Line Movement & Friction: When reeling in a fish or experiencing heavy resistance, the line moves quickly through the rod guides and potentially other obstacles in the water. This creates friction. Vibration: This friction, especially under tension, can cause the braided line to vibrate. Braided Line & Sound: Braided lines, being composed of multiple fibers, can be more prone to creating this audible noise compared to smoother lines like monofilament or fluorocarbon, especially with heavier or coarser braids. Factors Contributing to Sound: Rod Guides: The material and design of your rod guides can affect the amount of noise generated. Line Tension: Greater tension on the line, like when fighting a fish, increases the potential for singing. Line Material: As mentioned, braided line can be more prone to this sound. Line Diameter: Smaller diameter lines may produce a higher-pitched sound. Presence of Obstacles: Line rubbing against structures like weeds, rocks, or other objects can also create noise.

So, How did y'all finish?
