Christiantaj Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Recently I've been doing a lot of recon to find waters around me for a good swimbait bite. I scout maps for literally HOURS looking at possible waters to hit, in Florida the ponds are plentiful and even the small ones can hold fish of 8lb+. Had a couple hits and a couple misses, but During my search I found a lake that looked promising, secluded from people and connected to two smaller ponds through coverts, it had the potential I'd been looking for. went to check it out. First two outings I didn't get anything, fished it and paid attention. I saw good bait and some large shiners, and activity was high mid day so I decided to match the hatch and throw the 10" savage gear line thru in golden shiner. next outing, BOOM a couple of 7 lbers. Since then I've gone back several times and I caught my PB and first double digit bass. I posted it in the pb but I'll repost here along with all of the solid fish I've gotten so far. Only throwing the 10" savage gear line through. I finally put all the pieces together, location, bait/forage, time of day, etc and it paid off in a big way. All of these fish were in the past 3 weeks. Beau Carlile, SPEEDBEAD, everythingthatswims and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 You found a honey hole. When I fished fl as a kid I found it hard to throw an artificial bait to compete with those giant goldens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
