Heading down that way from Louisiana, would you care to send me a pin where I can fish off the dirt roads? I fished tamiami but off that crazy hwy and I'll have elderly dad with me so I want to get off the road. Thanks for any help
@GavinGalkaАй бұрын
I hope you will be understanding of the fact that I do not share any pinned locations. However, I can try to help the best I can without sharing a specific location. Many dirt road spots we found had an open area for fishing access. These were secondary roads off of Tamiami and generally at culverts or bridges where water could pass under the road. Other spots with good access are the boat ramps on I-75. I don't know how familiar you already are with these but they are generally safer to fish since your back is to a parking lot rather than moving traffic.

Definitely gonna try out the size 26 setup. My girlfriend and I hardly got to utilize our licenses last year, but this really opened me up to what's possible. We've done macroinvertebrate collection quite a bit, and we may get the rare fish occasionally in the kick seine, but for the most part, I'm always left wondering what's around us. My stream ecology class did electofishing with our DNR, so we got to see a lot of what was native, but I don't have the trained eye to identify from afar, so this is an awesome way to start getting more proficient, while also having a chill time on the creek. Thanks for sharing man.
@GavinGalka2 ай бұрын
That's great to hear man, definitely try out the micro fishing. It is a great way to familiarize yourself with the smaller natives that most people (perhaps even most fishermen) just know as minnows/baitfish. Hope you get the most out of your license this year and thank you for the comment!

Brother that first hook is waaaay too fucking big. Holy shit! Use inline or egg sinkers and you'll snag alot less. The hair rigs are easy to tie but i buy them pre tied at a local shop from korda and theyre like $4 each and it saves a lot of time. Using a cheap packbait of oatmeal and corn around the sinker will up your catch. Good luck
@GavinGalka3 ай бұрын

learn how to tie the "hair rig" - you will catch many more. They hook themselves easier but if you hook one bigger than 8lb, you will want to make sure those rods are fairly secure. another supermarket bait that works is cheddar cheese
@GavinGalka3 ай бұрын
I've heard and read of hair rigs before but haven't gotten around to using them. From what I understand though, they are one of the best methods for carp. Thanks for the tips, I'll have to give cheese a try and look into some better rod holders for when I'm chasing big carp.

Man, I just left Naples and flew up to Michigan. Now I don't post exact fishing spots but these are open areas along the two main highways that run through south Florida and that second spot is just one of the many public boat ramps along I-75. Definitely map out some canals around where you're staying with google earth, places with high flow will generally have the best fishing. Also, don't overlook spots to do some wade fishing inshore. My buddies and I have been able to find some good speckled trout so far this winter. Tight lines!
