Hey! The time has come to catch big lunkers again. Just landed in Florida today and I will be making my first casts at sunrise.

I will use this thread to post videos, images and reports.

 

Here are some of the lures that I cannot wait to use. Just looking at them gets me stoked up!!

 

Stay tuned!!!

The line thru a floater or slow sink?

Good Luck Bud ~

 

Don't forget to set & test your drag ~

Thanks A-Jay!!

Enjoy your trip Welds, I am heading out to Glades this morning in a little while, I will give you a heads up on how I did. 

Good luck down there. You have a nice variety of baits to use. Don't worry about the reel. Iv'e caught bass up to 10lbs on a spinning reel like that throwing big Huddleston Swimbaits.

Good luck!

Why? I use 1000FI models for bass fishing.

Caught quite a few bass over 6 pounds on

them. They are extremely capable reels.

 

And good luck, Weld! Catch some beasties.

Good luck on that 7 pounder this time! Nice reel too.

I use a 1000 for bass but not for jigs, chatterbaits, frogs, swimbaits, etc. Not saying that it can't be done, just not what I would do. Hooksets would be my main concern unless it's on a MH or H

Nice man looks like your all set, looking forward to seeing the fish!

Hey! Bit of a late update, very busy day...

Bit of a brief update too, sorry, its getting late, been trying to upload my fooatage... gotta wake up tomorrow for sunrise fishing again

I had great success in the morning and in the evening. I have footage of all the fish I caught, I am working on two videos currently. My computer has been giving me difficulties tonight, so I will upload the videos tomorrow.

 

Here is what I caught today and on what lure:

 

Here are a few photos I took:

 

Excuse my facial expression i don't know why it is that way

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned for those videos!

Nice outing!

Wow, now that's some detailed fishing logs.  Shoot I don't even balance my checkbook with that much detail.  

Great way to start out your trip.

 

Good thing you set & tested that drag.

 

By the looks of it, you probably used it a few times.

 

Nice work

The reel isn't the issue it's the rod.  Right now here in South Florida there is a lot of sea lettuce, 2 days ago this canal was wide open and I was using nothing but exposed hooks, not the case yesterday.  I normally fish a ml, yesterday I had to fish med spinning, glad I had it with me.  This stuff can get pretty thick, yes the bass fishing was quite good yesterday.

Nice fish Welds!! For the first time in yrs I can say I was skunked in the glades. Caught 2 little bass. Lol!! Were the bass you caught, caught at a residential lake or golf course?
