Went down and trolled for some sunshines, gave up on that and then started fishing for specks. Found some spots out of the wind (sort of) and found a few snappers.
Kept 8 to fillet............. Largest two kept were, 1lb 10oz and 1lb 6oz

Nice beautiful pictures......................
you like working beter with tube jigs or solids curley tails, sliders, etc.?
single or double rig set ups.?
Just curious...........
It's great when a plan comes together, even if it's plan "B" , WTG andy!
Very nice Andy ! !
Tubes , single rigged 1/16 oz most of the time. They were very color selective today, tried a lot, but they only wanted certen natural colors today. I'm sure tomorrow they will want something different.
Oh, and I caught two Hickory shad too... Kept one for catfish bait.........
Have been working with Road Runner Gold series "blue cheese"
16th oz, brass willow leaf blade on gold head, blue body, very little feather and
single strand flashbour (feather is chaut) have worked pretty well in 4 different
stained lakes............Kissimmee - Tarpon - Rosalie & honey hole pond.
Can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods, have not checked Bass Pro yet, possible
Sandy's Bait & Tackle may have at Tavares.
nice catch on a very windy day Andy!
That's what I need is some blue tubes....thanks Andy!
Sweet catch today Andy. Wish I would have called you to fish in your neck of the woods with you. I got blown all over the place on the Ocklawaha today and caught 3 bass.
Way to work'em Andy. Was it blowing early or later in the morning?
Good job Andy!
That's a nice catch and will make a good meal. Congrats.:)
It was blowing when I launched and just kept on blowing, caught em casting jigs.Quote:

Good job on a difficult day. I use the braid on my 8' rods for vert jigging and feel bites I never have before. I'm sold. When's dinner?
hmmm. very cool tip there skeetbum. I will be looking into that idea pronto.
You are welcome anytime, just a word of warning, I can be a pain to fish with when it's tough, I just fish harder.Quote:

Thanks Crappieday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice fish. Helluva catch on a windy day or any day at that.
nice work! good karma on letting the big one go too!
Look into the power pro 10/2 or smaller and yellow in color. I have used it for casting and done well, but it takes a mono backing to be the best. I don't use more than 100 feet over the mono cuz it gets messy when hung and pulled down into the spool. If they're finicky I use a few feet of fluoro on the end, double uni knot works best to join the two. Don't grab it like mono, it'll cut you to the bone. Keep us posted.Quote:
