FRIDAY FROM 1:00 TO DARK 30

SPECS ON MINNOWS EARLY IN MORNING FOR LAKE IAMONIA HAS BEEN THE TICKET. I KEEP GOING TO MICOSUKEE SINCE WELBY CAUGHT ALL THOSE FLYBREAM ON A JIG. I HAVE NOT DONE TO WELL.

I LIKE THOSE SPOTS ALONG THE GRASS AS WELL. BUT I REALLY LIKE THE NARROW AND SHALLOW CREEKS. I LIKE TO CRUISE IN WITH THE TROLLING MOTOR ON HIGH AND IF I CAN SPOOK THREE OF FOUR REAL QUICK THEN I WILL FISH THE CREEK. IF YOU JUST START FISHING THE CREEK YOU COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME FOR NOTHING. THE ...

TRIED THE LAKE FRIDAY AFTERNOON, ENDED WITH 10, A COUPLE OF SPECS, BLUEGILL, AND FLY BREAM. USUED MISS PRISS #8 POPER AND WHITE JIGS.

MOST OF THE DAMAGE CAME FROM BARS SCRATHING THE BOTTOM, THESE ARE SMALL SCRAPES (ALL WHITE). THERE ARE SOME PLACES WHERE THESE SCAPES GOT A LITTLE DEEP (DARKER COLOR).

CHASING THOSE SHALLOW WATER REDS HAS FINALY CAUGHT UP WITH ME OR SHOULD I SAY THE BOTTOM OF MY BOAT. I HAVE A 18' - 1996 BACKCOUNTRY FOR THE MOST PART THE BOAT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, HOWEVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AT AUCILLA HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE BOTTOM SIDE. LOOKING FOR SOME GUIDANCE, SUGGEST...

6/3/2006 WATER SLICK AS ICE TOP WATER SMALL GOLD SPOOK WAS BEST LURE STARTED OUT FISHING FOR REDS HAD SEVERAL LARGE TAKERS BUT THEY WERE LOST IN THE GRASS AND ONE BROKE LINE ON THE ROCKS FINISHED THE MORNING AROUND THE EDGES WITH ONE 24" RED AND A 21" TROUT. THAT AFTERNOON WE FISHED THE FL...

I HAVE SPUN THE HUB ON MY PROPELLER. IT IS A BRASS HUB THAT FITS INSIDE A 4 BLADE STAINLESS STEEL PROP. A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THAT THESE PARTICULAR TYPE HUBS NEED TO BE PRESSED IN BY A MACHINIST OR MECHANIC. THE CLOSEST ONE HE KNOWS OF IS IN LAKE CITY. IS THERE SOMEONE CLOSER THAT CAN HANDLE THIS...

NICE, I HAVE BEEN TO IAMONIA A COUPLE OF TIMES THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND I HAVNT HAD A BIT YET. WHERE YOU IN THE BACK OR UP FRONT IN THE DEEP WATER BY REEVES LANDING.

TRY PUTTING SOME ICE IN THE BUCKET, IT WILL SLOW THE BAIT DOWN AND CONSERVE OXYGEN IN THE WATER.

EVERY TROUT I HAVE PICKED UP THIS YEAR OVER 20" HAS BEEN IN 2' OR LESS UP CLOSE TO THE BANKS WHILE I WAS CHASING REDS. LAST TIME OUT A FAT 24"ER HALF WAY UP SECRET CREEK.

I FISH THE SPOON LIKE A PLASTIC WORM, UP AND DOWN. WHEN YOU LIFT UP REALLY MAKE THE SPOON VIBRATE. IF THAT AINT WORKING JUST BRING IT IN STEADY AND SLOW. MY FAVORITE IS THE CATCH 2000. I DONT CATCH AS MANY FISH WITH IT AS A GRUB BUT I DONT CATCH TO MANY SMALL ONES. SMALL QUICK JERKS WITH A PAUSE BET...

REDSS, I HAVE BEEN DOWN EVERY WEEKEND FOR THE PAST 4 WEEKENDS. I START ON THE FLATS AND WORK MY WAY IN. MOST OF THE FISH I HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN WITHIN 200 YARDS OF THE SHORE LINE. I HAVE CAUGHT VERY FEW TROUT ON THE FLATS, HOWEVER I TEND TO MAKE SURE I AM IN RED FISH AREAS AT THE BEST FEEDING TIMES. ...
