So I grabbed another Citica I 6.3 during TWs sale for Memorial Day. It was on sale for $124, and the extra % off came to like $104 shipped. I had forgot that I purchased it, and there was a guy on BBC selling a brand new one for $75. So naturally, I grabbed it. I now have enough I series reels and parts to last me a lifetime. lo

Going on what I call a, 50/50 glades outing with LMG on Saturday. 50% of the time when the sun is out, and the other 50% at night.
I also purchased a new to me product, to combat those pita mosquitoes this time around.

I will write a review on this product, after our outing. Stay tuned.

All that was just shy of $20. Those reduced price bins have some good stuff.

Got my first bait modified a bit.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190604/deb92cb1d08f4b01155cfbb9b55a72cf.jpg)
Removed the stock hooks and added a split ring to the nose.
Minus any mudfish encounters these Mustads should hold up for a while. They are sticky sharp.

If there's any breeze, not so much. Get yourself a Bug Tamer vest. It has to be the Bug Tamer brand. Other imitations don't work near as good.They are expensive but well worth it and last a lifetime.

This is a direct result of me watching YouTube, and having a monkey on my back that falls for marketing all the time!!
But... I'm looking forward to trying these out especially when that summer bite really slows down.

Got the Phenix rod in the mail today, and its pretty dang sweet. Ive got the 14Scorpion spooled up with 20lb Stren to use Sunday morning. Now, I just have to be patient for the new reel to arrive. Its OK though, because I love my 14Scorpion. :)

Anybody use BIG swimbaits in Florida? I'm not talking Skinny Dippers or EZ Swimmers, I mean big baits. I asked the question a while ago. I know that Rick has since tried them out. How bout it Rick? Your thoughts? Anybody else? I had a bad experience in trying one of the big soft line through swimbaits. The dang thing ripped apart during the first trip.
I'm thinking of trying some River2Sea S Wavers in the 168 and 200 size. I'm not sure what colors to go with for Florida fishing. I may also try a big floating swimbait for waking.
It's the one technique that I'm not experienced with so I'd like to learn. Of course, budget is important and I don't want to break the bank!

Other than the baits you mentioned above Flats, I can honestly say no. I still have a big LT Gold shiner swimbait, that I still haven't taken it out of its packaging. I sure wish manbearpig was still around. He fished big swim baits ALOT!! That lure takes dedication to throw. But when a bass decides to hit that a big swimbait, its going to be a PIG!!

Sweet. I'll see if the wife will let me have a day of from the Remodel we are doing, LOL.
BTW I got a Spincast Outfit I can let you borrow. ~roflmao
Y'all probably figured I was joking about the remodel, wasn't.
We took down one wall entirely, took up all the floors, took off the popcorn ceiling. Now to start on putting the new stuff on/down.
We plan to re-paint the ceiling and walls, and put new hardwood flooring down throughout the entire house.
The 3 bedrooms and their hall and guest bath has already been done but the floors. Next is the master bedroom.
After we get it all done we will need to make a decision. Are we staying or sell it and move?
The hospital System the wife works for is building a new one below Orlando. She is thinking of transferring to it.
That will put us closer to the grandkids if we buy closer towards the east side. Also will put me closer to the Kissimmee Chain which is not a bad thing.
Some pics so far.

Mama said that after we get the wall patched and painted I need to take a break and go fishing. I didn't argue.
