Nice fish and got a kayak…
OK, it has been really hot down here in SWFL and rainy. I haven’t made it out fishing very often in the last month or so. I did get to go out 4th of July weekend and caught a ton of little 1 pounders in a golf course lake in Orlando. They were biting a …
Still here
I am still here… I just haven’t really been out fishing recently. I had two nice days for about 2-3 hours a piece since my last post. I have been extremely busy with school and work as well. I am still competing in the American Angler Challenge when I have time. Sign up at www.anglerchallenge.com.
American Angler Challenge
I am competing in the American Angler Challenge this weekend. You can sign up and fish here. This is open to anyone in the US over the age of 18. You can fish almost anywhere. We hit a canal at 6:10AM this morning. The one along Alligator Alley. It was 73 degrees again I believe …
Patience is a Virtue
Yesterday morning I went out to Webb Lake and fished Marl Pond 3. I was out there at 6:30 which is about 10-15 minutes after sunrise. The temperature was 73 and there was about 400% humidity. It was partly cloudy and it did not rain the previous day. First cast in was on the east …
Evening Escapade
I decided I wasn’t quite done for the day and Emily and I needed to head to Wal-Mart. I figured I would swing by an area I have been seeing for some time now. We got there at about 6:30pm. It was partly cloudy with a passing drizzle or two. The temperature was about 88 …
Replacement Reel and New Threads.
Yesterday I brought my MegaCast reel back to Bass Pro Shops even though I wasn’t necessarily pleased with it. I decided I didn’t want to buy a new spinning reel yet and I might as well have this one replaced so I have a backup down the road. They replaced it no questions asked, so …
Importance of Scoping Out a Spot First…
This morning I decided to head out at 6AM down in the Bonita Springs area. I first decided to go to an area I hadn’t yet been to. This was a poor idea. When I got there, I found there was nowhere to park anywhere near the canal. This spot wouldn’t work. It was at …
Time for a new reel.
Although I just got this rod and reel 2 weeks ago the reel has broken. It was a BPS MegaCast reel. The bail screw fell out and I lost the bail guide. This reel was a piece of crap since I got it. I can’t complain too much though as BPS exchanged my broken rod …
Take care of your equipment
I only use my BPS Combo rod and reel for bass. I have a trout rod and a crappie rod, but since both are ultralights I choose not to use them. Although this rod and reel combo is pretty awesome for the $30 I spent on it 5 years ago, it is not amazing. Recently …
