HoB, those pics have dates. Not July.

as monty said,check the dates on the pix,july has been dead and not even gators are around in numbers,as for bunkers and threadfins they are walkonable.
some areas are choked with them.
normally I don't fish july/august but,gators are normally around but,not this year,I only got 1 so far.

most of the fish in the pix were caught deep and LDP method,,,creek chub giant pikies,some of my own designs,bottles,,anything that would go 8-10 feet down on a LDP drift.
finally got one of my friends to learn the method from me,now he is convinced he can do it too.

oh and yes,night only and night into firstlight,,no later than 7 am.

Of course we don't pay attention, we're men. My girl reminds me of this weekly, all good.

one more on my ripstick

Good job, it seems like you are into em every april-may. We have to wait till about mid may until the bigger fish seem to show. Fishing for me has been very inconsistent this year.

it has been up and down this year quite a bit,the fish move in,ya hit them for 3 days then they vanish upriver.
then more fish move inside from outside and the same thing.
really wish gators were around but,they seem to be staying outside.
there was a big squid run back in june but,that has to be over by now.
still no gators.
when the tide comes around again I will do a reconnoiter since the tides repeat about every 14-16 days.

seems that color combo was killer last year.
I had a plug and a friend of mine wanted to test swim it.
I had it rigged to test out so,I told him to clip it on and sling it out there.
he did and liked the swim,,,then a sudden crash and drag peeled,,at that point I said to him,pay me now,it's yours.
he totally hammered fish with that plug almost all year,wish I had it now to take a pic and show it.
it is beaten to death and still swims great almost no paint on it.
ya know what?,,,I have a pic of it new,before I sold it to him.
