I am driving down the interstate in IL and all I see is one beautiful farm pond after another. Anyone know a person, or have access to a farm pond in Illinois, or maybe Indianna. I am in Wisconsin...

They look ok for sure but has anyone put some water time on them? I was looking to get some of the brewer heads and minnows for trolling.

If you are close to "the Hatch" you really don't need much else. You can jig the pads, troll, and park and drown minnows. You will catch em year round. If you feel like it you can run through...

Ok, so this won't be the best answer, but you catch them on what they are biting.

I currently catch them on chicken liver chunks in a large retention pond, but I feel very strongly that is a local...

My fishing buddy passed about a month ago of a heart attack. I have been busy just doing dad and work stuff, but i'm still itching to get back to that tournament trail. Looking for someone to fish...

Lake Panasofskee isn't to far. Also the lakes on the backside of Ocala national forest.

If you are going to come down to Lakeland, you might want to check the lakeland ledger (newspaper) for...

Anyone have the current water temps out that way?

Anyone know a site that you can get that info on reliably?

I'll take a water temp from another big lake roughly the same area as well... Harris...

I heard from my father in law that the boats fishing right out from the River on the north side were still boating up limits of specs in a good days fishing. Big ones. I think they are just sitting...

did you stay at the county run camp (south side) or the private one (north side)?

Well i am working through getting a 'free' boat, and once all the paper work is cleared up, im going to be looking for a motor just like that.

I was wondering what to do with a motor like that,...

Yes, and well, we tried a couple different trolling paterns, went all over the lake, but ended up fishing almost exactly opposite banyons fish camp in the kissimmee grass. Sitting still in 6 fow,...

This sounds very plausible (post spawn skinnies). Also, at least I have found, clear water fish can run skinny in mid to late summer. They probably just don't feed really aggressive in very warm...

"The Perfect Jig" I believe thanks to some googling, but others...

It was a great day of just getting out, my first of this new year. The weather was a tad ornery, but not only did a make a new friend, he introduced me to several others out of Camp Mack.

Despite...

Speed and depth seem to be our big issue. When it warms up some, they love to chase fast baits, which means you should be using a 1 oz egg weight or more, and running shallow (4 to 6 feet). When it...

I spoke with a old acquaintance just yesterday who is camped down there. Slow trolling minnows is producing some fish, but on the bright side, almost all were over 12". Look for the flotillas of...

I have not been this year (or the end of last) cause we moved and im still settling everything around the house. May be March before I get to...

More weight, same distance. If you don't want to use heavier jigs, then put a split shot 12" up from the jig. Try tandem 1/8 oz road runners, they should run pretty deep.

I'm blessed because I live in a country were people can and do write threads about being blessed. Where I can get a copy of The Word from a local store for 5 to 8 dollars in at least 3 different...

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you just want a unit that can accurately mark a waypoint so you can return to it to fish it later. You will find (or drop) the cover using whatever (electronics,...

For a possibly confrontational topic, yall are being pretty nice.

I pretty much share, down to the body of water, where I fish. Most lakes I fish on are big enough, and my reports are poor...

So you put in there at US 19 then just go fish under some of the pylons of the bridge? That seems pretty doable. Is there a crowd?

Really nice mess of fish by the way... that is some good eats.

Water temp
depth
pattern (trolling jigs I assume?)

Should be able to copy your pattern in a local lake that's close to Newnan's size. I am thinking Hatchenenha or Kissimmee are begging for me...

Its funny, but we have caught less since going Caps and Coleman. Maybe that's just not a good pattern for Florida specs, though it is just as likely that we dont fish it right. To fast or to slow...

I really want to try this as well, and I do fish nights with minnows. I did see someone slow trolling in a flats boat the other night in Winterhaven, but they did not seem to be catching.

For...

Males look for cover close to open water, though they can spawn on hard sand bottom too. Females tend to stage just off from where the males are making beds. On Kissimmee the males fan out beds in...

We have a busy couple of weekends, so this may have been my last trip for a bit. Depends if I can manage to sneak out.

Normally I am a day fisherman, but with 3 young ones who are little, a job,...

I would like to give that a go some day, but that would be a special trip. It doesn't look like it it to far away (1 hour), we just have to drive by a lot of good water to get up that way.

10/23/2010 fished in 10 fow, with most fish being caught at 8 foot, some at 6 foot. We were anchored most the night, but drifted just a little towards the end. Fished minnows under slip floats and...
