Nice work
Nice fish. It's still a little cold here. A few schoolies have been reported but things are delayed. We should have some bigger fish by the 15th of may.

Man you are racking up those catches! Nice work. Do you have a lot of bait in your area at night?

Awesome fish you are having a great season you are crushing it!
it has been a spotty season at best and it is now dead,no fish since the last picture.
been looking to catch some gators but,they seem to be in low amounts too.
as I can call it this year the spring run didn't happen.
caught more local fish than any "run" fish.
will keep casting and hanging on.

Yes thats what I am seeing lately ripplugger. Have not gotten fish since my last report when I had some good luck for about 10 days after that and then it died out. why to you suppose that is? I am still hearing reports of bunker in the sound at night but I have not seen any.
By the way those are some very nice fish there. My biggest for this season is only 32 inches.
well,I know it's a year and 10 days later but,I didn't realize I never replied to this.
I sure wish I knew why a school of fish would leave food and swim away.
perhaps they were on a migration to a preferred area or less or more favorable water temps.
I know gators like to roam,they are built to do so fast and steady.
as for bass they are laid back but, will leave food to continue on their way/migrate.
I have seen that quite a few times where there is plenty of feed for them but, they move on perhaps to be in an area for a squid bloom or something like that.
at times animals know when to be somewhere specific no matter what.

I hope so because I have been striking out big time lately.

Nice catches,
I see your still fishing mono, is that because of all the rocks in the area you are fishing?
not at all,I amnot a trusting fan of braided lines,besides I am sharp with mono,it's cheap and it lets me know when it is damaged as it makes a certain sound when it goes through the guides.
also,if it backlashes,i always can get it out with no problem.
finally,I just don't like/trust braided lines.makes the senses dull due to it being so "revealing" of feeling.
yeah,call me crazy but,it works for me.
besides all that,I only fish with convench reels which braided line does not make a diff in casting distance anyway.
so,it all works out good.
Have to tell you how much I enjoy your pics. You really seem to find the biggest blues. They are just not there in the areas I fish. I have caught them up to 10pounds but it is very sporadic. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of fun.
glad you enjoy them.
I have to say it is due to my fishing with large and very large swimmers,they seem to get their attention more so than a smaller lure would even if they are not in eyeshot,they are still in earshot.
if they don't see it but,hear it they will take active action to hunt the source down and once they actually see it,they almost always attack it.
I have proven this to myself over and over and that's why I fish them hard.
at any rate they do work and I will be doing it as long as possible.
cheers
