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.

Every body of water that I have fished after a recent spraying has been terrible for a few months.  The dead weeds go to the bottom and rot, this reduces oxygen levels in the water, and no ambush points for big bass to hide.  They move off to happier locations if they can.    It takes a long time to get back to normal.  They spray often in some Weston lakes especially residential areas, and vista view when the hydrilla tops off..

I hear you and agree with you George they have to say that to keep their jobs.

Went to the park late in the afternoon for a little while and decided to change things up a bit. I fished one of limestone lakes in an area I haven't fished for over 6 months. Since the wind was from the North this area was ideal to fish around. The bite was slow but I did manage 2 fish. Still can't get over how clean and pretty these fish are. Also the first pic I'm showing is the actual clarity of the water, and yes the clouds can be seen reflecting on the water... Lol
I was using the centipede again

The big fish went for 20.5"

Thanks for the  Lou and that is a great looking Bass and that water is clear.

Oh.. you're good... smh... lmao!!
But, I am looking forward to Saturday as well. The weather looks awesome. Let's if the fish cooperate. Lol

[Lipripper]

All right Lou and West hope y'all find some good fish and have some nice weather on Saturday. West how are them repairs coming along on your house. The Insurance company still giving y'all the run around?

[Deadeye]

Nice one Lou, noted the different color in them fish taken out of those ponds.

We made it to Branson fine. Daughter and grandkids got in last night, man those kids keep growing up fast!

About 32* here this morning, a bit cooler than Florida but I don't mind it.

[Lipripper]

Fred glad you made it to Branson safely. You going to try and do any fishing while your up in this part of the country?

[West6550]

Lip we hired a local contractor company who sent out there own adjuster. They are handling the insurance company for us. We are waiting to hear back now. The insurance company shorted all kinds of stuff, kinda sad really. My mother in law had 30 shingles missing on here 20 year old roof.. they gave her more $ than us.. same company we have lol.. our house is 10 years old and we have water damages and she doesn't.

We found we have some cabinets damaged from the water leakage so they added that as well. Actually they might have to do a while kitchen. Who knows what the insurance company is going to go for though. I just want the house back to normal so it will sell. Just a waiting game at this point. Our roof has been dried in (4th time now) and the mold and attic was dried out with equipment. Just waiting for the insurance company to approve more so the contractor can get it all done.

Does it look like I'm swinging for the fences on my Lake O trip with West?
Below is a pic of a gold shiner swim bait I just bought. Look at the size difference compared to the swim bait I was using last time.... lol!!

[Lipripper]

West hope they hear something from the insurance company soon. I've dealt with insurance company's before years ago when we had a house fire so I know how they work.
Lou that new swim bait does look a little bigger.  The bait fish get bigger since you were there last time.

[West6550]

I swear if that bait hits me in the head.. lol

Thanks Lip, I hope it turns out as well.

Where you going throw that in O without getting hung up?  You should just go with the new Gambler GZ.

On a more serious note, I'm hearing some fish are already bedding. Dont know if the big girls  go first or later.

Big Girls go first, but I'm sure they have been spawning for a little while already. As far throwing that bait, the water is so high right now that, that bait will not get hung up in the open flats right now.

[SFL BassHunter]

Those live target swimbaits go through grass pretty good. I threw the smaller one today at the park, and I could feel it going through the grass. It never got hung or anything. Though hydrilla is a different animal. But yeah if you throw it in the right places you might be ok. I am sure if you give it a fair chance and throw it as much as you throw your frog you should connect with a fish.

West if he hits you with that thing, it's game over. Call the coroner.

Yeah she can probably kick your bass. lol

[Capt. BassinLou]

Yeah she can probably kick your bass. lol

Oh for sure...

[West6550]

Nah she doesn't kick, she is more of a stabber.. lol

[Capt. BassinLou]

Nah she doesn't kick, she is more of a stabber.. lol

Ok... so put the big swim bait away. Got it... lol!!
