Where to fish: The Big O, Loxahatchee refugee, or The Stick Marsh. I have a free day this coming Wednesday, Feb. 1st where should I fish? I have never been to the Lox, I live about 30 minutes from the ramp at the north end where the Nature preserve and what not is. About 50 minutes from Okeechobee if I launch from Slimms near Pelican Bay and South Bay. I have not been to the O in about 3 weeks, I am considering launching at Harney Pond and fish fisheating bay, which is a 1hr 40min drive. Or last but not least make the 1hr 45min drive to the Stick Marsh, which I have never been to but have heard great things. Someone convince me where to go! There is also an open seat in the boat if anyone would like to to tag along, triton tr-186. To keep it swimbait related, everyfish in florida will eat a bigEZ.

I've never heard a bad thing about the curado, and I love all my smaller shimanos. Anyone get their hands on the new 13 swimbait reel? Or any other experience with 13 reels, good and bad? Is the new Shimano tranx going to have a lefty, price point?

I just got down here last week, only fishing I've done was on the Osborne chain of lakes yesterday. I did wear em out on a frog though

Gotcha, yeah I've seen them on digitaka (if i recall that correctly its a Japanese tackle site)

Thanks flaswimbaiter! The plan is to apply everything I've learned from freshwater to reds, specks, poons, and snook. Flaswimbaiter, who makes the 4 piece next to the yohan glide top left? Looks awesome, you have quite the collection.

I appreciate all the replies! I'll be sure to post a picture of a 45in snook with a face full of TT when it happens

I have an 8in Triple Trout I want to toss around, but I am deathly afraid of losing it to a shark or something. I usually throw it on 20lb mono (need the stretch the way I fish it)...would 50lb braid to a 40lb floro leader be overkill or not enough?

I've got some sebiles that ive done well with for macks and other pelagics

I'l be moving to the Palm Beach (~45min north of miami) area in about a month, anyone have any success with swimbaits for snook, tarpon, etc? I've done some research and I know snook will eat big softies like hudds but I've got a handful of hard baits I want to toss around when I get down there. Selling the trtion and getting a flats boat. Any suggestions?

8in Triple Trout for sure

My roommate put this together to promote the Georgia Southern University fishing team. I think it's pretty darn good!

My roommate put this together to promote the GSU Southern Bass Anglers, check it out!

Trying to catch a PB Spot or Largemouth. I have caught a 6lb spot out of lanier but I would love to top that.

Burton or Chatuge in December

I spun a hub 8 minutes after blastoff and didn't have a spare one. Had a 3 hour, 7 mile idle back towards the ramp we put in at. We fished around for the rest of the day and weighed in 3 fish, one of those was caught on TT. We had a bunch of followers on the trout but couldn't get them to bite.

Light to moderate trout stocking, also blueback herring.

How would you fish a deep, clear highland reservoir in the late fall and early winter?

Great catches man

I finally edited some old footage of mine from from practice for the 2015 FLW College Southeastern Reagional at Lake Hartwell. The bite was tough but we were on quality fish but unfortunately motor issues sidelined us shortly after blast off tournament. I just wish I ran the GoPros more! I apologize for the big pictures, I don't know how to make them smaller.

Tried Google, along with Ebay. I can't seem to find anyone with inventory in stock, hoping someone on here could help me find one or two

Anyone know where to find one?
