I caught over thirty bass and ten bream. The problem was that only one of the bass was over 1 lb. The rest were between 8-10 inches lol, so I sitched to an ultralight and had a little fun. I did break one off over 5 lbs. on a fluke [&:] The trick was beetle spins, Cherry U-tale worms, and Flukes in the baby bass assortment of color.

you faired better than me...

[&o][&o][&o]I fished from 7:00AM till 1:30 PM

4 bass

1 ... 3 pounder
1 ....2 pounder
1 ....2 1/2 pounder and
1 ....1 pounder

Id trade you, I felt like I was catching bait after a while.
I fished from 3:45 til 7:15, so I spent a good amount of time out there as well Chuck,
Im goin to bed, I have a grouper charter to work on tomorrow, no catching for me, but some money to be made

Brett,

I still haven't gotten a fish on a fluke..Do you fish it Texas or peg a split shot about a foot above the hook?

I hear it's a deadly bait. Yesterday from 7 to 1:30 I didn't get my first bass till 10:30AM and that's because a man fishing with shiners gave me 5..I caught the 3 pounder on a shiner..The other 4 shiners died ..

Then I went to a really thick weedy drop off where at 12;30 PM I caught 3 good bass on Fire and Ice culptret worms..Texas style fishing in 10 foot of water..All the fish are still packed with roe..

I think our crazy weather is messing them up..It's supposed to be in the 40s in FLorida this week..

Ahoy Captain..have fun this morning.

The majority of fish in the pond I fished yesterday were spawned, I just got lucky and came across a bed. The edges were filled with 4 in fingerlings.

I fish the fluke without a weight at all, actually I fish a super fluke, not the regular fluke. Then just twitch it as if it were an injured minnow, sometimes fast or sometimes slow.

Ill make you a short video if I remember this afternoon, showing you how to rig it like I do and post it up.
Adios Amigos,

Thanks Man..

Caught right around 100 of them today, but again size isnt there. I caught two over 1 lb. the rest were all real small. It looks like the pond will be on fire by this time next year with plenty of 1 and 2 lb fish and in bout 3 years it will be back to normal, with plenty of 5lb and 6lb fish to go around.
