LCpointerKILLA

On the shore here in Boca there are thousands of small mullet that swim through, literally 5 feet from the shore in what we call "the trough". Big snook, tarpon, and sharks feed on these, and it is a sight to behold. Many people throw yo-zuri mag minnows, spoons and other lures in hopes to catch a tarpon or snook. The bite on the beach can be amazing. there are also small cudas, jacks, pompano, and other less common species. There does not have to be a huge school of bait around to see big snook either. I was at the beach yesterday and saw three big ones swim by together; I was not fishing at the time.

alright thanks I will have to try that

nice cuda

lol yeah that didn't sound right, but where exactly is okeehelee?

my most productive night lure is a black/really dark blue 6in senko. Plain, simple, effective, (I'm from Orlando)

The question is who else from the forum do you fish with, or have the south florida guys gotten together and fished? I'm wondering if we can all get together and do some shore fishing or something

I was wondering if the SoFla guys on this forum ever get together and fish. It would be cool to get something going, maybe a little shore fishing?

What a great fishery you have. By the way T-rig, when can I expect to see the swiss bass thread back with some new pictures?

anything SK 3x has a very high float and will last at least ten fish. I say keep em and fish em

I got the rainbow trout one from BPS for my niece for Christmas

Lol whats the story there?

SK King Shad... such a poorly constructed lure

probably a small mud minnow, have hooked a lot of those on accident

Do you know the inlet in Boca Raton at Camino? Lately I have seen a bunch of shrimpers there. A lot use spotlights or just powerful flashlights. Only thing is, shrimping is a very meticulous activity; they simply see an individual shrimp, net it and throw it in the cooler, one at a time. I have never been interested enough to do it.

That is a great report. No snook in two days of fishing, but two medium barracudas. That is an interesting lure there. Is it supposed to be fished like a jerkbait?

I caught my 1st bass on an ABU when I was about 5 or 6 yrs old. In fact, I learned how to fish using that ABU. No push button or soinning reels. BUT, the reel in my picture is NOT an ABU. It is a Calcutta TE100DC.. my mistake man but you can see why I would think that. We need to fish together sometime PM me I will give you my phone #

Yeah I catch your drift I'm leaving now to try and catch some fat snook with some buddies

Bassin Blvd, do you care to share the location....? Please?

thats a good day. I'll bet those blue gills were tasty

I have some buddies who live in san marcos at broken sound so I have fished the big pond, and honestly its not worth fishing twice. small fish

welcome to the forums

Is the man-made lake at the new Boca Raton Library on Spanish River productive? let me know fellas, thanks

I would love to be included this time, I have struck out so far with these lure mailing things on this website. I'm ready send me the darn lure!!! you already know I will catch us a nice Florida Pig!!!!

Do you watch it to detect bites like the pros in lake Michigan and what-not, or do you have enough feel with the braid? also, do you you think dropshotting with a really light dropshot weight over a huge hydrilla infested area would work? I could treat the top of hydrilla as if it is the bottom, and tie the worm closer to the weight (maybe 5 inches?). You have a way better sense of dropshotting, so do you see this idea potentially working out? It is the only way I could dropshot on FL. Let me know what you think, and great post, this will be a huge help for everyone who fishes "dropshottable" lakes. Oh one more thing, how far do you cast out from the boat? Is it better to keep you casts in closer to keep the bait and weight more vertical, or can you cast it way out and work it in? thanks fourbizz dude for taking the time to write this

nice creativity, might catch the big momma who has never seen anything like those. good luck brother!
