I'm in, good luck to all of yall who are going to the classic.  Wish I could go but I just got too much going on right now.

Quote from: fishingator on October 02, 2014, 02:53:11 PM
We are in and should get some time in.  Can someone clue me in to what the AOY is?  Oh and @MCS Bandit's been working on the car but not enough.  He had the day off today and I hear he rented a storage unit and made room in the garage so maybe things are about to get serious lol.

Quote from: Deadeye on October 05, 2014, 08:57:42 PM
Are we counting fish caught during the Classic towards this months total?

If so I now have 15.5 + 16.5 + 16.75 + 17 + 17.5 = Total of 83.25

If not I still have 15.5 LOL

Quote from: West6550 on October 05, 2014, 09:17:53 PM
No I went fishing this afternoon at home.

Hey Lou, did you get my three from last night.  I should now have five for the month of October for 64".

Of course it was on a Speedworm. Not really  :)

She hit a Swimjig.

Welcome in, glad to see you join us. Both on here and on UB.

What part of Central Florida are you in?

Quote from: Fishindaddy on October 07, 2014, 09:24:01 PM
M-F Lakeland.  On the weekend I'm in Haines City.

Quote from: West6550 on October 07, 2014, 10:21:33 PM
Cool I'm in Winter Haven.  We will have to fish sometime.

Quote from: Fishindaddy on October 08, 2014, 07:39:16 PM
Absolutely.  I have a place on Lowery.  I normally fish with one of my girls, but they are always finding something "better" to do than fish.

I fish the WH Chain a couple of times a year and I could use some pointers there.

Quote from: West6550 on October 09, 2014, 04:40:21 PM
Working LMG.  Dealership selling my boat called today.  Guy is allegedly pre approved and is coming to buy this weekend.

We shall see.  Gonna wash up the boat in the AM and get it back over to them... might have to one last trip out real quick though! I haven't decided.

Quote from: Speedy_reel_in on October 09, 2014, 05:24:50 PM
Thank you bassinlou, you guys killed it up there. Hopefully I catch some big ones this month even though my fishing might be on the light side this month, but hey you never know.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 09, 2014, 06:00:16 PM
Best of luck West, that is a very nice boat you got there. Enjoy your last outing with it.

Thanks Lou. Sorry I didn't get to take you out on it.

Dont you do that everyday?

Quote from: Deadeye on October 10, 2014, 07:26:33 PM
Upgrade:

Caught a few today, not much of an upgrade with one of them but as we have found out before with this every .25 counts.

16.75, culls the 16.5 for  5 fish; 25, 17.5,17,16.75,16.75 = 93

Quote from: West6550 on October 11, 2014, 07:39:05 PM
How are the new gloves?

Quote from: Deadeye on October 12, 2014, 06:07:32 AM
Good Job Speedy and CCR.

Oh yeah everyone is getting on fish now baby. Seriously I like how this Monthly Contest has grown in such a short time.  I look forward to checking it each day to see who has done what.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 12, 2014, 06:22:17 AM
I agree Deadeye. We have progressed nicely. Hopefully we can attract some more participants as we move forward. The highest we have had in the past was shy of 30. I will also say the competition is fun, and challenging.  Challenging because if your fishing time is limited like mine has become,  whenever I do manage to get out, I must figure out the pattern quickly. You jokers can put some serious fish on the board!! ;)

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 12, 2014, 12:04:59 PM
Just wanted everyone to know I have seen the posts with your catches. I have not documented because I am wrapping up at a conference I am attending. I will post the leaderboard either tonight or tomorrow.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 13, 2014, 08:06:13 PM
I'm gonna try and up my skill level in this game to fit all I can in this small bag to bring in all the fish I can to place in the top 5 of this event. Using just want I can in this bag using my LMG rig, I will prevail.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 13, 2014, 08:14:56 PM
The BASS bag. That's it.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 13, 2014, 08:17:23 PM
That's a big bag. You can fill that sucker up with a lot of baits, you will be fine. Lol!!

Quote from: West6550 on October 13, 2014, 11:52:22 PM
Lou it just depends on how many "drinks" are in that bag.  In that case... he is in trouble lol

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 14, 2014, 07:35:31 AM
So I am waiting for my next appointment,  and I am hanging by a beautiful lake by some commercial bldgs. I decided to walk this lake and needless to say I saw 3 bass that would put me into the 90's if I could catch them.... lol.... hmmm this Thurs is light, I might have to take a drive out here in the morning... ;)

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 14, 2014, 07:42:28 AM
Why don't you have a rod in the truck?! ~b~

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 14, 2014, 07:45:31 AM
Nah... I am not in the truck, and keeping a rod in my everday vehicle is a recipe for disaster with a 8 and 6 yr old in the back.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 14, 2014, 02:02:58 PM
So it says we are getting a cold front in S. FL, this Thurs. But the temps are still going to be in the mid 80's ??

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 14, 2014, 03:30:55 PM
I just finished swapping lines on 2 of my outfits. I took off the 15lb yozuri on my STX and replaced with the 40 lb braid I had on my Lews MG. The braid looks good as new when you reverse it. Then I put some new 12lb yozuri on the MG. When I go out Thurs to the lake I scouted today I will be throwing the STX on the LTB. Let's see what happens.  ~shade

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 14, 2014, 03:36:14 PM
Are you trying the 12# challenge too?  ::)

Heck no, I am smarter than that!!  ~roflmao

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 14, 2014, 04:22:00 PM

Yeah. Catch all your fish on 12# line.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 14, 2014, 05:16:28 PM
You have to understand that there are different conditions. IE the fact that I pulled those 2 fish Saturday at Lox, in the flats, full of vegetation. Not an open canal system.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 14, 2014, 05:29:05 PM
I think there are just too many factors that could be played into it. With me, it's more of a personal challenge.

Quote from: Deadeye on October 14, 2014, 06:12:22 PM
Quit spitballing, it's getting stuck all over my screen!

2 years? We have only been doing this comp here for like 5 months.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 14, 2014, 07:11:24 PM
That stuff is gonna be like a slinky if you are used to braid, lol. I notice the difference with the CoPly. I have to reel all the way down on those long cast hits, lol.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 14, 2014, 07:43:33 PM
Yeah... mono screwed me up when i fished Disney. Slinky is the best example. I am sure i looked like idiot setting the hook... lol

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 15, 2014, 09:47:12 AM
Not much of a difference between pure fluoro and the coply for me. I notice that the fluoro gets weaker faster with every tough hookset. Fluoro actually will stretch, but doesn't regain shape. In other words, it thins at parts.

Quote from: MCS on October 15, 2014, 10:40:21 AM
And copoly and mono regain their shape?

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 15, 2014, 10:53:06 AM
More than fluoro.

Quote from: MCS on October 15, 2014, 11:37:04 AM
man I stretch the shit out of the yozuri to get it to break on a tree bass  lo

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 15, 2014, 12:38:28 PM
It will stretch, not like mono does, but it will stretch a bit. The thing is that if you stretch YoZuri and then you take the strain off it, it will return to its original form with little to no affect to the line. With Fluoro, if you stretch it, it causes stress damage to the line, and it does weaken it a bit. Retying with Fluoro is a must, and should be done constantly. Usually it is done 3-5ft at a time.

Quote from: MCS on October 15, 2014, 12:51:52 PM
But I am alright using that yozuri....Because in my head I am hesitant. I have plenty to "waste" but I just spooled it up a couple trips ago. And I cannot stand the thought of ditching it.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 15, 2014, 06:59:38 PM
Big game is good stuff, and I were to use mono, that would be a good choice.

Quote from: bfn18 on October 15, 2014, 07:51:02 PM
Didnt get to measure her but i thought i would still share, was rushing to get to my softball game. Caught her on a booyah frog on my new froggin rod

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 15, 2014, 08:51:31 PM
Well... I am going to hit up that lake i scouted on Tues tomorrow  morning. Fingers  crossed. It will probably be one of my last good outings for the month. I will keep you  guys posted.

Quote from: Fishindaddy on October 15, 2014, 06:57:38 PM
Since you asked for my opinion, I give it... ;D

I did water samples and sechi disk readings in several lakes in Polk Co over several years for the DEP.  A sechi disk is basically a white steel plate you drop in the water and record the depth at which it disappears.  Most Florida lakes will average less than 3 feet so unless you are in an ultra clear highly pressured pit, then line visibility is not a factor.

Since, in my opinion, visibility in not the deciding factor and we don't have deep enough water to worry about line bow, that leaves STRETCH as most important.

You really only need 2 line types to fish all Florida water, 12 lb mono and 40-65 lb braid.

I use mono for anything with treble hooks.  For treble baits you use a sweep set and you want the stretch to absorb any shock while landing a large fish.

I use 40 lb braid for light weight plastics to increase casting distance and to "cut" through light vegetation.

I use 65 lb braid for hand to hand combat in the slop.

Berkely 12 lb Big Game and Power pro are my favorites.

Quote from: bfn18 on October 15, 2014, 08:00:22 PM
I get more hits on my booyah then any other frog. I went to Dick's a couple months ago and got about 8 that were on sale plus 20% off coupon i had

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 07:28:31 AM
Makes sense. Seeing as there are a couple out of a dozen ponds I fish that I would deem clear, which probably aren't gin spring fed kingsley clear, I just might as well throw braid. The distance and management on a caster is un-disputable. I am 50-50 with mono/braid on a spinning outfit and prefer mono for trebles except lipless.

Hey Lmg send me that cajun mono or siege I will send you the rest of that yozuri  ;D

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 16, 2014, 07:46:53 AM
What YoZuri you got?

Quote from: bfn18 on October 16, 2014, 07:48:45 AM
I never tried the KVD frogs. My buddy had one and didnt like the walking action on it. I love my livetarget frogs too but for some reason bass around my area dont like them at all.

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 08:11:50 AM
I am not a fan of it, I got it for the color it was the only one in black I could find locally.

Quote from: bfn18 on October 16, 2014, 08:24:26 AM
Good to know. I want to try out one of the Lunker combat frogs, either Zulu or Fox Trot. Ohh and btw, thanks for helping me pick out a new froggin rod. I absolutely love my new rod.

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 08:45:42 AM
Cool man glad to hear it. I am skeptical about those lunker frogs....I will stick to booyah, for the price and effectiveness they can't be beat. The spro and LT frogs are twice as much and Lou swears by the LT I have the mouse and it sucks, I just am not gonna pay 10 bucks.

Lunker came out with a whole new design for the new combat frogs. I used to to swear by the LT frogs too, it was my first topwater frog i ever caught a bass on. I got a spro frog to try it out and I like the action on it but im yet to catch a fish on it. Might give it another try this weekend.

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 09:02:15 AM
So you got the Diawa S rod out of the couple I recommended?

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 08:10:19 AM
a 600 yd spool of 15 # with about 200 yds used

Quote from: bfn18 on October 16, 2014, 09:09:38 AM
Yup and i like it a lot. I have only been fishing for a little over a year now and really have never used a really good rod, but I really like the feel and weight of this rod.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 16, 2014, 09:13:47 AM
I have 4 spools of that already, lol. If you want some Cajun mono, I will send you a spool. I think I have a 1000yd spool of 12#, and 14#

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 09:26:38 AM
Well I thought we could trade, I don't want something for nothing....I still have enough of a 300 yd spool of siege to fill my daiwa.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 16, 2014, 09:36:49 AM
What else you got?

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 10:07:51 AM
Nothing I want to trade, just one crappy line for another lo

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 16, 2014, 11:06:04 AM
Re-emburse me for the shipping if you want. I have plenty of it. I don't know why, I just got them for like $4 a spool or something like that.

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 12:51:29 PM
Thanks....I might as well just go to the store and buy some myself.  lo and if I am buying I get the good stuff....siege  :P

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 16, 2014, 03:31:34 PM
I have a few spools of that in 17#, lol. That actually has more stretch than my 12# YoZuri, lol.

Quote from: MCS on October 16, 2014, 03:37:41 PM
::) Yes, but it won't be used in the same application as the yozuri. I am throwing 30# braid back on the energy. The mono is for the trebles, getting ready to throw some cranks and jerks this winter  ;)

Quote from: MCS on October 17, 2014, 08:30:49 AM
got 4 in about 30 this morning. Went late ,8:20 to 8:48, got to work late....boss is on vaca  ~shhh
first one on a 4" grnpmkn dinger weightless trigged....the other 3 on 5" melon shad ace wacky rigged.

Who's going fishing this weekend besides LMG going to Lox on Sunday? I know i am out, my son has 2 baseball games this weekend.

Hey gang, I still check out what's going on here as much as i can, the weather is so nice i decided i was going to forget about the remodeling of my house for a little while and take a little fishing trip, hope to put a few in the boat and post some pics here. good luck to everyone going out tomorrow.

Just decided to go walk the canal with a jig. Caught 1. Saw a big bass approx 5-6lbs come out from under me while fishing. I see where she hangs out. One day I will get her.

Quote from: BOATS on October 18, 2014, 05:38:33 PM
Well,lets see hmmmm, good side is we caught 8 fish. Bad side none of my 4 measured, they were 8 to 10 inches. However I am a big enough man to come on here and say two of the wifes measured. 3lb and one 1 lb.

Quote from: Fishindaddy on October 18, 2014, 05:54:36 PM
Well I was supposed to go to the lake this morning for the weekend and give you boys a run this month.  But.  I woke up to a power problem in the house.  One of the wires on the pole burnt in half over night and when that finally got fixed around 2 pm then I discovered a problem on one of the circuits in the house.  Both of my electrician buddies are in tree stands in GA since today is opening day of deer season.  So here I am, not at the lake, trying to run extension cords to get the cable box and big screen going so I can at least watch football tonight.

I entered this contest in the spring on the other site and did not catch a fish over 12" that month.  This month I haven't even made it to the water.  Maybe I should stay away from the contest. ;D

Thanks Deadeye, so find the pattern that the fish are looking for.

So I got out this weekend with a buddy of mine and had a great time. We went to a new lake we have been eye balling for a couple months now, it has "NO FISHING" signs everywhere around it ~shhh. Caught 5 and lost a good one. Only 3 where worthy of a measure, the other 2 were as big as the senko I was throwing lol. I tried using the frog in the morning for about 45 min and nothing, caught everything on a green pumpkin with red flakes senko.

I do have to say, now that I have a minute to type more than a few words, my performance on the water yesterday was sub par. I think a lot of it had to do with the late night Saturday with the Jason Aldean concert. I got out on the water around 12 and was pooped by 4:30. I had caught a bunch of fish, but at the last hour I had lost 4, and 1 being a biggun by the size of the wake and pull on the line. My back was really giving me issues, and I had set the hook like a girl on that big one. After I lost the other 3 from crap hooksets, I threw in the towel. Maybe next weekend. Till then, I will take my medicine.  ~beer~

I didn't forget. Although chatter has been somewhat flat this past week here are the numbers. We did have someone jump up in the rankings.

1. EvoChris: 97.25
2. Deadeye: 93"
3. LMG: 90"
4. Bassinlou: 79.5"
5. BFN: 4 fish: 69"
6. TWIG: 68"
7. WEST 61"
8. CCR: 30.5"
9. Speedy: 27"
10. BOATS: 19.25"

There you have it. Good work BFN. One more decent fish and you can move up some more. Hopefully this week is a little bit more eventful with activity. we have 11 more days to make something happen.

That's funny stuff. It's doing OK. I will get out again this weekend for sure. Not sure on the day yet. We will see how the weather plays out. I did however get the new switch for the trolling motor installed, so now I have 5 forward speeds again. Lol.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 21, 2014, 03:00:11 PM
Wow guys!!  ~tumble
So let's see if some questions will spark something?

1.West any pics of the the new tin yet?

2. LMG, how is the 12lb challenge coming along? I know your back was hurting on Sunday, but how did the 12lb yozuri do?

3. Chris how is the remodeling of your new business coming along?

4. TWIG and Deadeye you guys have been awfully quiet you guys been fishing?

5. PZ and CCR what's up with you two?

On a side note, I am half way through saving my $$ for the new TM. Luckily, I have a little bit more time to go. This particular TM is on backorder!!
We might be in store for alot rain during the later part of this week.  :(

I was loving it last night. The rod and reel are both amazing. Still trying the fluorocarbon......  It feels great while fishing the bottom, but I have an over run about every 5-6 casts unless a tighten up the cast control. This combo would be amazing with braid! I have noticed that all of my reels with the SVS Infinity make more noise/vibrations than my white 200E reels while casting. The 200E reels feel smoother and seem to cast smoother to me. On the other hand the 200E reels don't feel as "connected" and don't have the amount of power while reeling in fish. The X Ship makes a difference to me. I'm definitely getting another XX rod and Metanium combo. Probably the HG or XG model. They are very tight, precision feeling reels.

I like Mike's jigs.  They hold up longer than the Booyah's.  But if you take the rattles off and put a big trailer on it look out.  I like swimming it just under the pads.  I caught 40 two poundersin two days during a blue gill spawn a few years ago on Kissimmee.

Quote from: Bassinlou on October 23, 2014, 07:55:14 PM
No doubt Mike's stuff is top notch. I have 3 of his spinnerbaits. I caught  a decent size gar at Kissimmee and the spinnerbait  was straightened out. I bent it back in place and its still good as new. A booyah spinnerbait would have breaked in half.

Oh whatever.  I tried a topwater frog for quite a while.  Was just about to be skunked so I hit a spot that has worked everytime with a uvibe.  I pulled 3 dinks out probably one at 12-14 but didn't realize my numbers were so bad lol. Oh well.

After those three from the same spot the 4lber took hold.  I called it a night after that.  Great fight too!!

Yeah. I know the feeling. Different type of rod though. Lol

Quote from: West6550 on October 24, 2014, 08:55:25 PM
Yea they are short on the rod.  Then you gotta get a reel cover too :-/

Quote from: MCS on October 25, 2014, 10:06:29 AM
Yeah but the nicest part of the rod is unprotected. That's what I was wondering.
Id like to see it an inch or two before the keeper

Quote from: West6550 on October 25, 2014, 11:00:46 AM
Try these.  They were a UB sponsor.  I won one and like it much better then the crap other kinds.

Caught about 4 today at sunset, nothing that would help. All around 15 or so. Dunno how much more I'll get a chance to fish but would like to cull at least one more, think its 16.5. The work at the shop has really been kicking my butt, laying wood flooring and carpet, demo and remodeled a bathroom, etc. Now I know why I didnt follow my Dad into construction!

Quote from: MCS on October 24, 2014, 08:22:05 PM
So I got a free gift from fish hound since I haven't even used my original points once I figured out they were the USPS under cover charging shipping for free baits lo .....hoping for baits....nope not baits.....it's one of those rod condoms lo man the thing says to 7-6 and its like two feet short on my 7-3 is that how it's supposed to be?

Quote from: Dark3 on October 27, 2014, 10:06:43 AM
Fyi, the reason why its like that is because they are designed to cover the guides, not the whole rod. You have to get the xlong rod glove to fit down to the balls, i mean reel on a 7' rod. I have a bunch of those things i intended on using but they do nothing but get in the way. Reel covers on the other hand are a must have if you like nice paint and resale value.

Quote from: MCS on October 27, 2014, 10:11:00 AM
Yeah this was a free trial crap shoot from fish hound and I ended up with no say so in what I got. I ended  up with this rod glove thing, they pre determined the length even  :-\. I would never pick one of these up, especially now seeing it, for 6-8 bucks they seem pretty dang useless. The reel covers will come with time as I get better reels. I thing I might need to pick a couple up right now just to keep the two I like nice.

Quote from: Fishindaddy on October 27, 2014, 08:31:53 PM
I keep 12 rods in the rod box and I never put one in out of a sleeve.  Awesome for keeping them untangled and saving guides.

Quote from: Pz3 on October 28, 2014, 01:28:25 PM
Went out to west toho for an hour or so. Found hydrilla everywhere and caught some pickerals. Shiners were going nuts and one got sucked up by a huge catfish.

Nice view but no dice on big bass.

It was pretty good. It wasnt nice as last weeks fish, not even close. I'd say 2-2.5 pounds???

All caught on watermelon Zoom curl tails.  The big girl inhaled the bait and I couldn't save her :-( I tried but she just didn't. No clue how she got hung so bad.  Anyway there is a guy in a wheelchair that I see at the dock often.  His brother in law keeps a few here and there. So I hit the dock and took her to their house.  They were very happy to get it and he cleaned her up right then.  First fish in a long time not make it on me.  But it happens.

Hey West, did you try mouth to gill. lol   The end of this month has been awful for me.  My club tournament was terrible and then last week Lori had to go into the Hospital with chest pains.  After three days in the Hospital, they at least found that there was no heart damage but they still don't know what is causing the pains.  So I haven't been able to fish the last couple of weeks.  I was hoping that next month would be better but I found out that my next club tournament would be at West Lake Toho so I'm not expecting it to be very good.  If anyone has any advise about how to fish Toho, I would be so thankful.  Also, great work to all who got out this month and fished.  It's really about having fun.

P.S. Gator, hope all your family gets well soon.

Quote from: TWIG2323 on October 31, 2014, 10:29:52 PM
My wife spend about seven hours at the Doctors office today.  Hopefully they are narrowing down what is going on with Lori's chest.  Right now the Doctors are saying that she has a blood clot that is causing the problem.  They did several different test and said that besides the blood clot she also has pneumonia in her chest.  I  do not know if I trust anything the doctors say.  This time it started with that she had potentially a blockage in her heart.  The test at the hospital found out that she did not have any kind of heart problems.  Now she has to go for more test on Monday where they will find out for sure if she has a blood clot, and if she does not have a blood clot then I don't know what the doctors will think it the matter.  What every happens, please keep Lori in your prayers.  Thank you all very much.
