Kissimmee Nite Fish #2

[fishin813]

Jami696, & I went out Friday nite, Kissimmee, with full moon in
process, wind, lightening & rain all around (no rain came in) we
experimented with minnow size (large & small) small taking most
bite, tipped 16oz zip jigs vs #2 aberdeen, 1/4 oz bullets mounted
1 ft above hook.. surprise jigs again took most hits. Boat single anchored into wind. Rear of boat with jigs
small minnows took most hits with front of boat taking waves slap.
Fished drop-0ff's and edge of brush piles. about equal.
Fished from 7:30pm - 2am.......... most hits came after midnight
when things started to settle down.

No 2 pounders taken, but several in the 1 lb - 1.8 lb range...nothing
under 11" in length.

Thanks Mike for a good evening of testing..........

fishin813 like always enjoyed fishing and the time spent doing what we both love , sorry i couldnt stay one more night but you know me work is always first ... it is alway a good thing to think out the box to speck fish ,this is what keeps the fish we love in our coolers ..lmao .. but yes most fish was on zip jigs..but fishing a full moon or almost full moon the people that night fish know its a really hard bit and really slow to none .. testing is the last thing to do but when you know what works in a hard time you will really put a hurting on them when time is good ... once agian thank you 813 for the time spent on the water ..

look what happens to hot water when rain and rain and more rain happens the water in my fav, lake in the back waters was 77.2 and dirty .i was trolling 1.1 to 1.2 in 4 to 6 feet using 32nd and 1/16th oz jig heads with a white pink plastic tails and mini lip baits and they where about 3 feet down in runing .. specks chasing schols of bait and i was finding the fish on brakes and drop offs in the shallow side of bends .. over all a really good morning and done by 10 am .. .. all i have to hope for is the bit getting better everyday fall closer..........

Look like pretty good healthy fish to me Mike............too bad didn't catch them at
Kissimmee, but in your favorite lake Manatee............they do look good..

Hard to find water in the high 70's right now.............best we found at Crooked Lake,
Saturday nite was 85.3.............(surface) be deep or shallow water.............
anything below 12 at Crooked died with lack of ozygen.............
