As a side note for anyone that might be interested...Most insurance plans will not pay for the costa lenses

lol you need to try it down south about a thousand miles

Costa does have their own prescription lenses, they have little costa symbols etched into them. I like the silver mirrored which is a gray base for almost everything...

fish deep and slow...all my after work spots all slow right now, water is cold and our fish don't like it.

easy solution..can you fit a power pole on a jon boat? lol j/k...well sorta my brother has launched his jon boat before using his 4 wheeler..now obviously this place is close to his house kinda like your saying...

powerpro is my go to line...almost bought the Seaguar smackdown but they didn't have the test I wanted..so back to powerpro

I'm going to give a couple of these a try, certainly look easier than the one I tried before

I like that site...very nice!

Anyone else struggle with certain knots? I use one, I think its called a cinch knot for just about anything I need. Now recently I have a dilemma, I've always used a tiny swivel for any kind of fishing that I needed to use a leader for...but that's not always the best choice for many applications...so here I am at almost 41 years old...with decades of fishing under my belt, admitting that I just plain SUCK at tying fancy knots lol. Anyone have a go to line to line knot that is easy to tie and works well??

You looking for bass or saltwater? About an hour south of Palm Coast is Mosquito lagoon, this time of year they should be slaying them with the cold weather we've had...the redfish, trout and snook all school up in deeper warmer holes.. Brian Clancy (386) 566-6303, top shelf operation

I used to travel a lot for my current employer and my former...and I always carry a travel rod with me wherever I go. I have fished all over this great land of ours from sea to shining sea, and across the purple mountains majesty. But if I had to pick one body of water to fish for the rest of my life...that is easy, right here at home on the mighty St Johns river. Trophy bass to the south, to tailing bull Reds to the north, it has enough diversity to keep you busy for a lifetime full of fishing.

I've got 2 Smoke spinning reels and never had an issue with either, the speed freak 30 I have is my favorite for fishing over oyster beds for redfish

2 girls, a 10 yr old and a 14 yr old that's not grown but certainly thinks she is. They have both always enjoyed hunting and fishing with me, mostly I think like you said just to hang out with Dad and eat junk food that Mom wouldn't generally condone. Having said that...as they have both gotten older and developed into "young women", they are much more picky about what constitutes a fun time hanging with Dad and have no problem telling me that. Last summer I had a proud Dad moment when telling my oldest it was time to go...I got the "one more cast Dad" she had taken one of my rods and was out there pitching a worm...it was awesome.

I've been going back and forth on this whole Venice LA deal...talked to a lot of people that said it is all it's cracked up to be..but others will say anywhere in the Gulf is just as good if not better. One thing about LA is the limit is definitely higher...I'd love to be able to keep 5 slot reds for the cast iron skillet

several places up in here Jax like that, my favorite creek off the ICW is full of bass and snook...well was until we had this last 3 weeks of cold temps...seen a lot of snook floating belly up

I like making multiple passes over the same area, at varying speeds until I am satisfied I have covered every nook and cranny..now granted I am not doing a lot of weaving in and out of stump fields with my boat. Stumps and fiberglass don't make good company. My Terrova gives me the freedom to pick out my path, record it and then repeat it at any speed with the touch of a button..and if I want to change it up and fish from the front, back, or anywhere in between I am not tied to the bow and having to work the TM.

got a few high near 70 days coming up...maybe that will make something happen. Had a couple buddies make it out for some specks, crappie for you northerners they did pretty well just around Deland somewhere

I have the Terrova, the slightly overweight, not quite as pretty younger sister to the Ulterra..does most of the same stuff without the auto deploy and while I LOVE it...there has been times when I wish I would have dropped the extra coin and bought the Ulterra

All you guys with these super slick looking bass rockets make me a little jealous only problem is bass boats don't fair so well fishing the jetties

we had a blast...pun intended :) fishing down there last year

I like posts like this, I'm always looking for places that have good deals..Alot of times its hard to get something local because if a certain lure works well in that area most of the time it's sold out.

Minn kota makes a smaller slightly different version of a power pole that may work better, having said that I see a lot of skiffs that run a dual power pole setup with no problems

Not winning any shotgun start bass tournaments with her but she'll handle more chop than I will

water temp at Oak Harbor the other day was 48...that's too cold even for sheepshead lol
