Hello all, 

 

My name is Greg and I live near Tampa, FL.   I have tried fishing a couple of fairly local lakes (Tarpon, Winter Haven South Chain, and Toho) with very limited success.  I hope to gain some knowledge from you all on what I am doing wrong, or maybe what I need to do right.    To date I have only fished plastics, crank baits, top water buzz and frogs, and pitching jogs, never used any live shiners yet.   

 

I thank you in advamce for your inouts and look forward to gaining a fish count.  

Greg

 

 

Suggest you join one of the local clubs. There are several in the area and that will help you with the learning curve.

Don't know where you are from but as I understand it, Florida fishing is somewhat different than most of the country. While a lot of the info you get here will be helpful, take it with a grain of salt. While everybody means well a lot of what applies in the rest of the country doesn't quite pan out here.

I've only fished here in Florida but some of the reports I see posted on this site and others are dumbfounding. To put it another way, I don't post results of my trips or those of my buddies as I would be called a liar.

Again, join a local club and you will learn more and faster than any other way I can think of.

Good luck,

Dave
