![]() About 70' to 50', which puts you running parallel along the lily pad patch. One at about 125' to 90', which brings you across the point at the edge of the reeds. I've noticed there are three strike zones in this area. Begin your retreive on speed two for a few turns of the reel, and swith to speed one for a couple of turns, and back to speed two (the double clutch). Cast up the left hand side between the reeds and the lily pad patch. I'm using a technique I call the "double clutch" and the "double clutch stop and burn" lol. In the morning I used the 3/0 crank, and the afternoon the 3/0 spoon mixed with the 3/0 bass jig. I exclusivley fished the Lily Pad channel from the left hand side of the dock and casting to my "right" up the left hand side between the reeds and the lily pad patch, (opposite, and 180 degress, of the boat location). The three lures were, being the max casting weight on both these rods is 5/8oz and 3/4oz, the 3' 3/0 crawlcrank, the 3/4oz 3/0 red devil spoon and 3/4oz 3/0 green watermelon bass jig. My Aurora 8'2" w/Espira M元000SE 10lb test, and my Jiggwinner 7'10" w/Espira ML 3500 12lb test. I fished in one place the whole time using two outfits, and 3 lures. I myself just came off a 3 day expedition to the Everglades, and was without a doubt, the most succesful trip to Florida to date. The fish jumped a fair few times, but was too far out in the sun for me to identify it.Īnyway, looking forward to day two, although I have left it at 9pm just in case the Gar-o-ween hits properly later today. The bloke next to me had a few Unique and Trophy Snook which I guess could have been the culprit, but I'd be interested to know what guys with more experience think. Now, the spreadsheet that someone linked elsewhere on here is out-of-date and doesn't hold info for Snook, Tarpon or Drum, so I don't know how big these really get. However, after getting the fish to within 80ft a couple of times it quickly gained line and spooled me again, this time breaking the line and knocking 10% off my rod and reel. Luckily I managed to quickly gain line and nothing broke. Unfortunately the casting reel I was using could only hold 216ft of 12lb Fluoro and after about five mins it spooled me. I had this fish on for around ten minutes and it just ran and ran. I decided to try my Farcaster with a red and silver 1/2oz Casting Spoon. I did pop up to the Salty delta in the morning as I noticed a guy there caught a Trophy Peacock and at the time I hadn't had a sniff of one. This pushed me back to the float for the Peacock and I'm glad I did as that's when I caught the Trophies. The Largemouth seemed to like a bassjig in the morning, but wouldn't take anything I tried in the evening. I did also manage three or four Trophy Peacock on the float. Now the Bass and Gar gave me no trouble on the Aurora and Nero, although the two or three Trophy Largemouth were a significant tussle on the former. Unfortunately I couldn't get a reel to fully suit the Farcaster which is why the line's a little low bs for the rod. I also took my new Brutus and reel (from the Catfish pack) teamed with 15lb line as well as a Farcaster 7' 7" with 12lb Fluoro. My main bait rod is a Nero 12' model which I teamed with 12lb fluoro. I was using 8lb Fluoro on this rod and sticking to the known Bass spots. I have an Aurora set-up similar to the one ItsShamee mentions. ![]() I didn't buy a crankbait as I'm only level 24 and could only buy a Baitcoin one, which I was loathe to do. Just finished the first day of a three day trip mainly fishing for Peacock and Largemouth Bass, although I did catch a few Gar on small minnows. I mainly Bass fish there so dont know a whole lot about other species but you can still catch the Gar on the Crankbaits as you can see (it was caught on the setup i just mentioned), Hope this helped Get hooking Another quick note just because it says 10lb line dont mean it cant catch 20lb fish. If you dont wanna fork out for crankbait use a 1/2oz #3/0 green pumpkin bass jig Stop and go or lift and drop works wonders. As for Rod and Reel the Aurora 8'2" and Prima 3500 are the bare min Still give good fights and will get no reduction, as for the line again the Mono.010" is the min to still get full XP and hold its own, you can also use Fluoro.011" but run the risk of your rod braking. ![]() If you are going for bass and have some BC (baitcoins) spare grab the 3ft #3/0 Blue and white Crankbait, if you are level 27 and dont have the BC grab the Craw version of it think its 3k? Set it at 2 speed and just reel if you see a fish behind it switch to 1 speed and it will hit it.
