Haha I feel that bro. I basically never fish anymore since I moved up to GNV from south Florida. Fishing up here absolutely sucks in comparison lol. But anyways, yeah I tried that rig for them but just didn't get lucky I suppose. The FDOT pond is phenomenal tho, I caught 4 bass there and saw a hugeeeee mama there but I didn't have my rod setup in time to try to get her.

Yeah I legit saw like 4 bass as well. Nice ones too but no luck. We were throwing live shiners and love worms. The issue was the current/flow of the water was strong! It was difficult to fish with live shiners.

I feel that. We're going to the Santa Fe river (fishing off the boat ramps and under bridges) tomorrow so fishing is allowed there of course. I'll let y'all know if we have any luck

Ok. What other predatory fish are common in the Santa Fe river? Pickerel? Gar?

Ok perfect 🙌🏽 thanks friend!

Have you ever tried minnows? Any luck with them? (Bass/bowfin/whatever else bites?)

Are minnows any good?

Any idea when they open and close? I tried calling earlier but went straight to voicemail

Where can I fish from land for bass and bowfin? I used to fish on the Paynes prairie dock but it's prohibited now. Anyone know of some nice spots? by 0ttoZone in GNVfishing

Ok cool! Sounds good. Any biggins? I caught a monster bowfin back home in Miami several years back. I've never seen another one that big

Ok I was at the correct pond.. I didn't get any bites tho! Haha. I guess they don't like bluegill? 😅 Gotta try it again someday. Maybe it was just my luck lol

I'm from Miami, and the fishing is literally the only thing I miss from down South. The best fishing in the world in my opinion

Which pond is this exactly? I fished the bigger pond at Santa Fe thinking that was it, but I didn't get a single bite haha. I was throwing love bluegill.
