Hey man, where are you NW Florida? I grew up in Bāham and we grew up fishing down at Eufaula Lake. I love that place, especially the upper part. We started going not long after the lake was created and was full of trees. Man, it was nothing to bring 200 crappie per boat out of there. Back then that lake was the most popular bass lake in the nation at the time. The monsters lived there.
I lived on the Gulf in Fl, Ala, Miss, and LA. I loved growing up down there. I lived up in NC on the outer Banks for 5 years and fishing, surfing, and windsurfing was all I did.
Iād sort of like to back able to go back to the coast down there somewhere as Iām getting older. There is just so much diversity in the fishing around that area. Mobile Bay and the Tensaw River Delta and all of the lagoons and back bays for brackish water fishingā¦ every season has something.
Ahhh, farm ponds! Some of the biggest and best fishing going in the east! That thing will be on fire soon.

Mepps Aglia is an awesome lure. Surprisingly Iāve caught more catfish than anything else on that lure, but it works for everything. I love the direct blade to body shaft design on the Panther Martins, but they are a bit heavy and lack drag so you have to reel them in faster to keep the blade spinning. The Mepps have that big chunk of squirrel hair tied into the treble hook so you can slow roll them while getting maximum spin and thump out of the blade. Wordenās Roostertails are a classic. Brown with gold, white with silver, and firetiger with gold have always been killer for me. 1/16 and 1/8 oz are my favorite sizes.

Mepps aglia is one of the classics. It was probably my first spinner. The gold Panther Martin with the orange tail works best here. 16th 8th, and quarter ounce. Once the tail is gone they donāt work as well for some reason. Seems to be key with that spinner around here.

I saw a pic in the local newspaper on Friday of a guy who caught a huge Walleye at our State Park Lake. I figured it looked to be about 12lbs. I saw the Ranger up at the lake yesterday and he said it was 11.5 lbs, lolā¦
He caught it sitting on shore using a worm and a bobber. 
Thatās how the old timers do it here, lol. They catch huge catfish at night, too. The season is only just starting to pick up a little. I talked to a few people who came in on boats that did real well yesterday. I even talked to a guy the other day that works at the grow shop and he caught a largemouth with a loud topwater noise maker. I guess theyāre on bed. I was wondering if we really had them here.
Iām going in the kayak later if the wind eases up. The water is still cold though. 45Āŗ but we have some nice shallows in different area that brings fish in. The water is coming up pretty good finally. It went to itās lowest point last summer, worst since Iāve been here 5 years. We had a good snowpack so maybe we get it back. They release the water for irrigation down stream and sell most of the water to Kansasā¦ 
Oh, they were catching pretty large Brown Trout in the lake yesterday. They had been stuck in pools in the river upstream all winter and finally got a chance to get out. Thatās the way some long timer here told me. They normally stay in the river which is always low in summer unless it rains a lot.

I picked up my reels and spooled them with 20# braid. Time for a run to the coast in the very near future. Pompano are in the surf.

That used to be one of my favorite fish to catch when I lived on the beach. I wish Iād done some fly fishing for them but I didnāt have a salt water rig. You can throw your bait right at your feet almost. They feed on the sand fleas right at that first shelf where the wave hits shore.
You must be down south. I lived at Cape Hatteras and that was summer fishing there.
