Fred have a safe trip up to this part of the country and enjoy the time spent with family. West that sounds like a great deal and hope it works out and you and Lou have a good day out fun fishing when y'all go.

Went to the local park today. Fished for 3 hours and caught a dink.
Sorry Lip, no skunk diploma for me today.

Yeah I don't know what their deal is. It was nice and overcast this morning. I thought for sure there were going to be some frog action. When there was none, I went to a worm. Still no bites. Switched lakes and got a bite on a swimbait, but missed. Threw back into the same area and got hit again this time I hooked the little guy. Guess he was hangry.

I'm thinking (yes I know, dangerous) that presentation needs to be super slow. Everything I have caught has been on the fall of the initial cast.

Rick at least you caught one even if it was a dink.

Sounds like them fish are y'all so far. it's got to get better soon.

It was a slow retrieve with the swimbait. But even before that a worm at the bottom wasn't getting bites. So I think it was just that 1 fish that went against the grain.

It had been tough up here too.
Fished from 9:30 to 2:30. Had 7 bites. Lost one at boat.

Very slow.

[Lipripper]

A couple of nice looking fish Fred . What did you catch them on?

[cport]

How big was the lost fish?

Same thing with me Rick, all the bites have been slow and on the bottom with plastics.  Nothing out there chasing baits.  No Kodak moments recently!!!!!

Nice fish! The river or elsewhere?

Finally getting over the flu. It's had me beat down for two weeks where all I could do was work and sleep. Finishing up a contract today and starting a new one tomorrow that has an accelerated schedule with a bonus for early completion and a penalty for being late. I'm not sure the boat is even going to see the water in November.

Haven't tried the River yet, although I've heard a few ramps are opening up now.

I tried one of the smaller lakes I fish and the water was still so high you couldn't see the ramp, so I passed on that one. Went back to Diaz and once again it was packed with guys that fish the river. About the only place I can get on up here.

Cport it wasn't all that big, bu probably would of culled the smallest one.

Bites were very scattered. 2 on a worm and the rest on flukes. nothing really big, but better than nothing!

Sorry to hear your had that flu bug but glad your doing better now. Dang your going to be busy if you can't get out and do a little fishing.

[Capt. BassinLou]

Park was tough today. Only managed 4 fish, no culls. Fish were scattered and were playing very hard to get. If they aren't motivated to pounce on a centipede, it's going to be a slooow outing. Lol!!

Dang Lou sounds like fishing is getting tuff down there. At least you caught some fish.

I know the park has been tough for the last 2-3 weeks. They have sprayed and basically killed off all the spatter dock that was growing in different parts of the lake. I don't know if the spraying has effected them or not, but the bite rate has dropped off significantly compared to last month.

Lou if you ask the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission they would say that spraying don't cause the fish to not bite.

At some point these bass have to turn back on. They are completely shut down.

It's cooler than usual this morning so that may not be helping.

I hear that them Florida Bass don't like it when the weather changes and a cold front goes through.

[SFL BassHunter]

No they don't. I was unable to continue fishing, only got in about an hour. Weather got ugly, rained for about 3 hours straight.

Dang that will put a lot of water down from a 3 hour downpour.
