GO!

I am in. Again.

This weather has been rough first it's way too hot and the fish aren't biting and now it's been raining and storming.

July was gonna be tough already, what a great way to start it off here in Jax

Lets do this!!

its been tough in south fla also  AK

in for this month guys

OK, I'll give you guys a tip for this hot weather... drop it deep and work it slow :-) I pulled a bass that was pushing 10 pounds on a slow bottom hopping lizard :-) I switched up my technique last time I fished few days ago and it resulted in a lot of 5+lbs fish. So, fstr385, it's on! Ohhhh it's on baby!!! BTW, fstr385, when we gonna drop your little boat in the canal near my house? It will be a guaranteed 1st and 2nd place for us LOL :-D And what about that Lake O trip with my brother we've been planning???

Oh its on!! I will start. Caught this a little while ago. One is 18.75, and the other one is 17.  Puts me at 35.75.

 

Sorry about the bottom pic, I did not rotate it right. Mvorbordt, fish slow, and deep. Got it. Tx.  Just because you have a little boat, doesn't mean July is in the bag. LOL.

Nice fish Lou, that bottom one is a fatty!

Gonna give a go tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks, MCS. I am glad you are able to sneek out for a bit. How is that baby girl doing? Yeah, the last fish was a nice fatty. I was working a wolf pack and there were 6 of them I was working. I was able to land the smaller two. Go figure!!

Are you trying to say that arrogance comes before the fall? LOL!

 

I don't have a boat, fstr385 does, and I'm hoping to solicit his help this month... and LgMouthGambler's too :-)

Fstr385 and LgMouthG are nice guys to take you out. Best of luck this month, Mvorbrodt.

Thanks! With my brother coming to visit, and the next 3 weekends I've got no plans for, I think I'll be able to put a fight this time around, I hope :-)

My boat is in the shop for maint. and prop shaft change.

 

Little boat is ready.

 

 

Lou.... That bottom bass is a fat mofo! Nice!! You goin to pull an AK and beat us all on the first week? lol

I wish FSTR385. Just got lucky. After those two, they shut down. It's going to be a fun month. You guys know what your doing, and since everyone is stepping up their game I think its going to be a close one.

She is doing very well thanks. they seem to get easier each time, thankfully. LOL

 

The smaller two, they weren't bad, but doesn't that always happen. Now I got some catching up to do.

Oh its on!! I will start. Caught this a little while ago. One is 18.75, and the other one is 17. Puts me at 35.75.

That last one is obese, did you weigh it?

went out tonight at 7 to about 9 pulled in 5 ..this was my biggest one 15"

Looking good Czar

 

Went out this morning from 6:40 to 7:40 missed a couple little ones on a live target mouse.

The hydrilla at this one pond just BLEW UP! killing me and my texas rigs.(It is funny to see the ponds around here, no carp, some carp and too many carp and they all fish different) Have to try some other spots with carp.

Friday might be my next chance.

Thanks MCS,so the more crap in a pond or lake make for better bass fishing? ???

Well some carp in a pond I find is the best, if there is enough to keep the weeds from taking over, but still offers some cover. It just depends how the pond was stocked.

The pond I was at today has some freaking tree sized weeds and the fish are deep and the Texas rigged just gets hung up. Once it cools the will die down a little.

The ponds with too many carp don't have enough cover and the bass tend to wonder. Which you can work all kinds of lures but pin pointing location is a daily thing.

This is just my observations from fishing around here. Each type of pond you use different lures and stuff so keeps me on my toes and I don't get stuck on one technique. You know what I am saying.

AK-NJ, no I did not weigh the fish. I am getting so caught up on the length of the fish, that weight is an after thought. Unless its a PB, which in my case is 7.25lbr then I will take the scale out.

i think we should do both weigh and length

Yea I am same way now since this competition unless it looks to be 4lbs i will weigh it, ask MCS last year I was weighing everything if it looked over 2lbs i wanted to see its exact weight lol. I was just curious to see because that one looks way fatter than any of the ones I caught in that size range, it must have been eating real good that's a nice looking fish
