Was still up in air where I was going yesterday till my oldest son called and wanted to go to Monroe. Was waiting at the gate when they openedthe gate. Got a great sunrise heading across the ole girl. Mant boats out today, saw Brian and crew. The ole girl sure treated me well today. Boat loaded on trailer at 10:30 with 78 on clicker and 36 in the cooler to bring home. Had several females really showing good that got a free pass. Attachment 222349Attachment 222348
Nice ones Mike, sounds like a busy mornin - I did not see ya out there but there were a lot of boats around.
Had a few stripers hook up too & got a few tangles, they were 10-12"
Did you fish the main channel or more shallow?
You were in front of the Enterprise ramp at the manatee markers headed west and I was about 100' southeast of ya headed south.Quote:

Good day with the boy Mike. I'm goin solo in the morning. Shoot me a PM if there was a majic color or something. I need an edge.
Going in the kayak tomorrow for a few hours early. Thanks
My standard set 1/16 roadrunner above a 1/32 jighead. Best colors were bumble bee and bad blood hot grubs and storm warning and lights out Stroll'R. Pulled 1.1 - 1.3. Good luck tomorrow.Quote:

Nice catch Mike, We were there yesterday and had 117 on the counter when we quit at noon. Had some fast action and got several nice looking fish. Put all but 11 back.
Monroe has lit up fer sure. We had worked up a sweat between the heat, specks and stripers. We had a good time for sure.
Fantastic report Mike. You in again.
All I can say is WOW! That's some great fishin at that lake.
Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Probably not. I have a 18.5 Palm Beach and a yellow kayak. I rarely fish Monroe in the kayak. I am a bass fisherman at heart but I am really getting into spec fishing.Quote:

So? How did ya make out?Quote:
