Hey everyone,

 

My name is CH, I love bass fishing and inshore fishing. I got into fishing when I was really little because my dad is an avid fisherman. He's also fished his whole life and grew up fishing for bass in Connecticut but has lived the last 25 years of his life in Vero Beach. He taught me every little thing about inshore fishing in Florida, specifically in the Indian River Lagoon. However it was not until about 2 years ago until I started going fishing at least every other day, and mostly on my own. That was mainly due to me getting my boaters license. I started catching fish, and going more and more. Then when visiting our house in North Carolina, I took out the boat on the first day we got there and I hooked into something huge, It took about 5 minutes to get it in on my tiny trout rod, but I pulled it in and it was a 10 lb 3 oz bass. The biggest my family and I had ever seen, that fish made me instantly obsessed with catching another double digit bass. From that day on I've been trying to learn everything I can to be a better bass fisherman, and meeting new fisherman and sharing information is the best way to do so.

Welcome!

Thanks Ski, I haven't been to Farmpond-13 or Keenansville lake, I'll definitely check them out though. I love fishing Stickmarsh and Headwaters, thanks for the tips.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Welcome!

Welcome fellow Floridian!!!
 

just FYI, Farmpond-13 is the Stick Marsh. You might also hear Headwaters Lake referred to as Fellsmere Reservoir or simply the Rez.

In the beginning  Farm 13 was separated from Stick Marsh by a levy. A bass boat could not get into Farm 13. Many local anglers put PVC pipe along the levy and rolled their smaller aluminum and fiberglass boats over the levy and into Farm 13. Not until 92 I believe was the levy opened because of Hurricane Gordon

Welcome, I'm new too.

 

and WOW 10,3. we do not have something near like that here in Southern quebec, Canada. I catched my best 4,8 largemouth last summer and my brother In law was surprised, he's been fishing this lake (lake Magog) since he's young and I'm only new to this lake (third summer this year) and I did catch a bigger than he ever did ahah

Welcome aboard, CH! ??
