Dang someone has salt in their bass thumb! No need for a ford vs chevy contest about fishing from the bank or boat. Rob you are welcome to fish on the front of the boat with me anytime and we will go catch some "dinks" all day ?

Could always hire a guide whom is more familiar with our Florida waterways

I've never been to TF but at stopping to fish 2 days on the way to Guntersville the 1st week of Feb. Any local knowledge or tips would be appreciated! Its a big lake, any areas I should focus on?

Im going on a 3wk long road trip to unwind from work beginning next week. Any tips for the stated bodies of water? I grew up fishing Lanier so no worries there. Never been to chick but understand their winter patterns, a rig, trap, crank, chatter bait, swimbait etc on channel swings and transitions. I know nothing about Tims Ford other than giant smallmouth, any help here would be appreciated! Big G should fish similar to Chick.

I haven't been bass fishing in 3 months due to work. How's fishing been on Poga and surrounding area lakes? Not looking for your honey hole, just a general idea of post Irma fishing.

Nope! Haven't been to the Marsh yet

No, I got tired of losing a $25 bait so I started ordering the Savage Gear 3D trouts. For $10 each it isn't nearly as painful when I lose one. It has a different tail kick, a more violent tail action. They seem to be more durable, I have bent a hook out on a fish unfortunately. Hudds have a better, more realistic color selection

I followed the same school for about 3 weeks from 14ft to 20ft. Haven't been able to get out there in 2 weeks, I suspect they will be holding in 24-28ft now but I will find out this weekend.

After 4 trips to, lets call it lake "x", this is where I will catch a DD and hopefully a teener. I've lost a couple good ones, one I wish I saw, and have caught 2 over 6 and a 7. Each trip I learn a little more about this lake.

8 months ago you still could but I guess not anymore...Farley and a 6 or 7in Triple Trout get bit just as well

If you see a silver and maroon 19ft Triton, thats me, feel free to roll up and holler. Truthfully I've been hauling up to Sebring and fishing those deeper lakes recently. Couldn't tell ya what the fish are doing out on the osborne chain even if I wanted to, I have not truly fished out there in over a month

Pick up a Farley Swimbait or a Bite Sized herring by FishHead...spot demolishers

I was talking about the lake near Palm Beach International Airport off of Southern, before 95. If you can get into the lower part of osborne before the canal to ida there are good largemouth and good pea spots that dont have much pleasure boat traffic, I've also ran north to clark shores from osborne and have done well in there.

That pond near the airport and the hotel that has a ramp? I live off of Southern and Forest Hill. I've had a friend go with his new ram 2500 and a ranger. No issues in his experience, he caught a bunch of dinks on a senko. I'd say just go to Osborne and catch LM and Peacocks.

Yup you're right, it is The Dugout, I had only been there once but awesome little shop.
