Thread: New to Fourm

Just like to say Hello to all my fellow Floridians !

Welcome Birddogn' to Florida............
Where you can Crappie (Spec) fish year round, rain or shine.
They will bite all the time, just a little tuffer at times

What part of Florida are you residing in - maybe can point
you direct of good lakes in your area - fishermen in your
part of state that will help get started down here. (What knowledge
you gained up North, throw it away, be prepared to start over)
Crappie fishing in Florida is totally different than up North.

welcome Birddog... don't know if you found them yet... I am also out of Miami (Miami Gardens) on lake O... launch out of Slims Fish Camp in Belle Glades head north toward "tree island" and there is where you will find them.... Specs!!! that's if you own a boat... you can also ask the guys in the bait shop fok up that way are really friendly

Not fished in the area but a few years back we visited Miami and were at Holiday Park looking around and a feller came in with a large cooler full of specks. So they got to be in the area. Good part is while looking for them you should be well entertained by all the other bream and cichlids as well as bass. Find heavy weeds and poke holes in it and drop a jig in. Same for trees and any other structure you can find. Welcome to the fotum and feel free to ask any direct questions ya need. You wont get gps #'s but everyone is more than willing to help with tactics.

Welcome from Orange City. Stick around a while and you'll see folks post about trips they make down your way. From now on you can't help it, you're gonna learn stuff you need.

We will be holding tournament on Okeechobee, February 27th,
Okeetaniee ramp. (ramp on south side of hwy 78 right at the Kissimmee river
bridge entrance to lake) Should be several at weigh in that would be glad to
assist you in how to sets for the big O. Also look over their equipment while
there - poles, jigs, colors, weights etc. This alone will or should help you greatly.
If you need further assistance send me a pm
