Not positive about the hook replacement as it appears that it is not screwed into the body, if it is unscrew, open the keeper and replace hook. I have used a double fluke rig but never heard of a spook rig. Please explain.

The St. Johns River. Because it is tidal, HUGE, no grass or aquatic vegetation and brackish.

My wife as a Child was never taken fishing, but has become a great fisherman, Blue water Captain, and Deckmate.

Pitch 1/2 -1 oz lead will get you through it, to the monsters that lurk beneath it.

What the pro's use and is in your price point.

Looks like Hydrilla to me. https://www.thepondguy.com/category/weed-control-guide?p=PPCGOOGA&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4v2EBhCtARIsACan3nzDlzfmTOQWVJzF2A8EJlg61E9HRPaLIpe3S4rGadoyNCtNUrcPZYoaAjk3EALw_wcB

Just part of the Fl. wildlife that a person needs to relize that they live there and you are tresspassing. This little fella ate a floating repala I pitched near a laydown and got hooked. After I was able to get the bait off of him he tail slapped the heck out of me and I dropped him in the boat wher he proceeded to go into my open rod locker and through a rod hole into the hull. It took 3 days to get him out and two bites on the hand (with welders glove)

When Gander Mt. was closing up a few years ago I saw these "Johnson silver minnow" for $1.00 and picked up a gold and a silver as we were heading to the lake in Fellsmere Fl. The hooks were terrible and the first thing was to sharpen with a emory file, then put on a small grub for trailer. While fishing the heavy Hydrilla I pulled it out made a few casts and caught a 5+. The hooks on them were so bad I threw them away but for one day they "matched the hatch"

In case you missed it in the fishing blog last week: Check out this absolute MONSTER largemouth bass Amanda Parker caught and released on Tired Creek Lake in Grady County Ga. 28 inches long, 22.5 inch girth, 14lb 9 oz

Photo for today...Right Whales popped up about 100 Yds in front of us 9 miles off St Augustine Fl. Almost felt privileged to witness this site.

I've thrown one @ least a thousand times for off shore bait. And still throw lures for Bass fishing.

I believe it is the polarization in the lens not the color per say. Try different angles of your machine if possible.

He got his point accross.

Sounds like the consensus is again Costa's with 580 P lens.

I have 3 pair of Costa's… Grey for every day Fl. sun... Amber for cloudy and overcast days...And Blue for off shore.. However I also have a pair of Wiley X Gray lens that are crystal clear and I am becoming a fan of for bright days.

Too much power "is just enough" LOL

Seems like a new trend that the pro's are using.
