Thread: 100% SKUNKED here in Lakeland!!

I only went to fine tune the electronics

I only needed to offload the boat to work on the boat trailer

The only reason to go fishing/catching is to get away from home.

Which lake?

Marv - long lines in the Tennoroc Strip pits under the watchful eye of FWC
management keepers-
Do not give up Marv - Strip pit fishing is different than open water - lake fishing....

Must say you have an assortment of reasons why they were not jumping on the
hook...

I have been fishing the old phosphate pits at Tenoroc. Most of my fishing I do alone, with all of these storms popping up, I feel much safer on these smaller bodies of water.

Harold,

I was just joking with the reasons. LOL

Not a person to give up, been fishing for many years, hope I still have a few more left.

I was just telling it, like it was, no excuses. The fish were there, I just didn't put the right combinations together to catch any.

Water temps were 83 degrees, a slight East wind from time to time, partly cloudy skies, heavy rains the night before.

Didn't do any longlining.

Tried slow trolling .3-.4 mph, had 4 rods out. bare hook and minner, one of Dave's jigs tipped with minner, Jelly jig tipped with nibble, Bobby Garland slider & nibble. Colors I tried were chart, light & Dark blue, Black/ chart. Chart/red specks.

But you know what? At the end of the day I sit back and am so grateful, that I can still do this at my age! The best thing is, I'm still learning and its fun.

'til next time,

pescador

Just testing my jigs to make sure they trail correctly. Testing new color combo's. They didn't work!
