Walked around the apartment pond today and could see a few bass on the beds already. Isn't it pretty early for the bass to be on the beds already?

Last post

A pg on it would be cool. @ linh -Nice reel. I tried my friends out and I like how the settings can be changed on it. Good reel for the price.

are you talking about the carrot stik?

Caught my biggest snakehead yet the other day off of sample and coral springs. It fed my family of five and was delicious.

Hehe I love how they tear up a frog! Also, the cool thing about it is that when I have been targeting them specifically, I usually end up catching a lot of Largemouth! Crash, I was thinking about a...

I've read here on the forum that snakeheads are edible and, according to some folks, very tasty. Just in case I work up the courage to try one, how do you clean them? Skin em, fillet em, etc?

A good read Boca jetty Rat. Thanks for your opinion.

hook set too hard or during the fight.. could go either way. I've had them die mid fight, which is what skee was referring to. Not on the hook set.

Good point!

Hey.

I'm taking a high school fishing club to go fish at tropical park in a few weeks. Anyone know which of the lakes there is best for catching fish, There are like five lakes there.

Last post

Glad you all had a lot of fun. My dad used to fish Tropical Park for bass just about everyday. He always fished plastic worms and rarely got skunked. Give them a try next time.

I moved to Zephyrhills 2 years ago, and am looking for shore fishing near where I live. Any suggestions? What about places to buy shiners?

Last post

not as many members fresh water fish nor live near you so there may not be an answer to your question. all i can say is call bait shops up and see what they have.
