I have the great fortune to live in Loxahatchee, FL and work in Deerfield Beach.  Between noon and 1 PM nearly every week day I fish one of the dozen bodies of water within 10 minutes of my office which hold fish.  On the weekends I bank fish around Loxahatchee.  This year I have been using 4" - 6" Senkos, Texas-rigged with a 3/16 oz lead bullet weight and 12 lb mono.  Nearly every fish caught this year has been landed with that set up.  This breakdown for the fish caught so far follows:

 

Under 1 lb - 91 fish

1 - 2 lbs    - 9 fish

2 - 3 lbs     - 1 fish

3 - 4 lbs     - 1 fish

4 - 5 lbs     - 1 fish

6 - 7 lbs     - 0 fish

7 - 8 lbs     - 1 fish (7 lb 4 oz my PB)

8+ lbs        - 0 fish

 

This represents 52 days, fishing 1 hour each day.  If this catch rate continues, it is going to be a great year!

 

How many have you caught?

I too fish Loxahatchee from time to time.  I have probably fished it 10 times this year from the Lox Road ramps.  I fish almost everyday and have caught many hundreds of bass this year.  I have no idea of how many dinks, up to 22 inches this year.  This has been a good month with 6 between 20 to 22 inches.  It would drive me nuts to keep count of how many 1 to 2 pounders I have caught.  I too fish senkos, u-vibes, flukes,swim frogs, and trick worms, a lot.  Good luck out there, maybe ill see you at lox.  I have a 18 foot winner bass boat with a 115 Yamaha four stroke.

I believe I've only caught 11 bass so far this year.  I won't complain since many years the water is still covered in ice this time of year.

I am current restoring a 1984 Bayliner Trophy 1710, but am limited to bank fishing until I get her seaworthy again. Let me know anytime you have an empty seat in your boat, I will gladly put my butt in it! 

Don't keep track, but ballpark 40 something.

So far in 2017 I have caught ZERO bass.  But thanks for asking........

Don't want to talk about how many I've caught this year! But I haven't been very many times unfortunately.....

293 bass and counting...

Outstanding!!

Pretty awesome to have all those cool Florida ponds so close.  Great numbers and sweet 7-plus! I'll be heading back home to NY to fish with my Dad in 2 weeks (first time in 2017).  Not gonna get my hopes up but the bar has been set pretty high in the last 6 or 7 seasons fishing in Early April.  Planning on one day for brown ones and one day for greenies.  It will be "disappointing" if we don't catch 35 - 60 smallmouth and 20 - 30 largemouth.  Can't wait!

I like your method for tracking them! Something to look at at the end of the year! We still have ice up here!

Yep, a couple hundred + here, too. First one on Feb. 11 this year and been catching them ever since. Great start for Indiana, and we're still just in March 

A BIG FAT ZERO. But I keep trying!!

So far zero. But my local lakes just thawed a week or two ago and I'm headed out in a few minutes to hopefully catch a few!

A grand total of one for me this year, and I had to drive six hours south, to Kent's place, to get that one.

I've been catching them like crazy!  I caught probably 30 over 3 lbs, I had on one that was sure to be my new PB, then my alarm clock went off and I had to get up and go to work.  

Son of a...

 

Here I am, haven't caught a d**n fish since November - and I've been trying!

 

Switched over to trying to catch some trout once winter came along - struck out every time I went trout fishing. 

I've caught 2...

I can't fish for bass yet, not until mid May.

8... in my defense I was bank fishing a small Creek and I've only been out twice...

Ever heard of 100 fish a day ?

Maybe down there in Mexico, but up here a hundred fish day is practically unheard of.

I have never done it (record is 78 bass in an afternoon) and only know one person who has.

Ive caught 40-50.1 fish over 8 pounds,and a 4 pounder.Several 3s. A lot of dinks this year.
