    My fishing partner uses a separate pole, having it on the trolling motor would render it MUCH less useful.

    My friend and I spider rig pushing jigs. I use 4 pound leader, he uses 6. I usually have higher numbers than he does, trolling the exact water, exact speed, and usually the exact lures.

    All the fish lined up on the left are over 2 pounds, and some on the right are VERY close.

    No minnows, just pushing jigs.

    If you can tie a Granny knot, you can tie a Palomar. Rated as the strongest mono knot there is and also great for braid (which lots of knots aren't).

    Almost anywhere in central Florida north of Rat Town is nice. Stay away from Rat Town, drugs, crime, and high costs. Lots of nearby lakes north of there though.

    Nice. We have had many 100 fish days on the flats north of Bear Island. It's one of those places where they are either there in force or gone it seems to me. Hardly ever any in-between.
