So the weather down here in Florida has been windy and rainy for the most part, and it's made it hard to go out there. Today I got drizzled on a bit, but the winds were not terrible. I hit the usual waters I do near my house here to no avail. Decided to go a little shallower, maybe the waters would be warmer and attract some fish. Then I start seeing them, on my live scope. I'm longlining about .9 mph, and I have the livescope pointing backwards, so I can see where my baits are. This is awesome, they should start biting. But still nothing. So although I has lathers up my baits with
slabsauce about an hour prior when I was in the deeper water, I go ahead and do it again. And before I could spritz the second set of rods, one of the first ones I did goes down. Wow, this stuff works. They were not hitting till I slabbed up. And with the livescope, I could see what was happening. With no
slabsauce, I could see fish. But till I slabbed up my baits, they would not give my baits a second look. With the sdlabsauce on, as soon as the bait went down I could see fish follow it. They followed it, and gave it a sniff. Some were just small, but I could see them now interested in my bait. It was awesome. And half the time I would get a sniff, I'd get a bite. It was funny now, cause I would hold the rod in my hand, and when I seen a smaller fish going towards my bait, sometimes I would feel the tap. And had I not seen them with the livescope, I woulda thought it was a weed, or something else. It was so soft a tap, coulda been anything, wave, wind. But livescope told me otherwise. I am learning so much with this livescope, I really think it's cool. I always believed in
Slabsauce, but livescope is gioving me a whole new perspective. Slabsauce rocks.

I actually caught a bunch more, but threw a couple of the nicer ones in the livewell for pics. Then all the sudden there were 6 nice ones in the livewell, so I took a group pic on a board, and put them on ice to clean for mom. Not bad morning, all before 10am. C'mon down billbob, and we'll get some more of these.
