Record Smashing Day At Fellsmere Part 1 - 12/16/19

[@2xtremefishing]

That's it I gotta put Fellsmere on my lakes to fish list!! Wish my drive had enough room to place my net the way you have yours. Awesome video as usual!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Just wait until you see part 2! It was a phenomenal day. A helluva lotta work... but worth it.

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

Great video some nice catching in this one. And more to come. Might need 3 parts to this! Way to HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH Tracy ! Congrats on 1000 !

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks so much Charles! A dream day of fishing!!

[@RemodNC]

Holy Heck! You weren't kidding when you teased about this fishing day! A dream day!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Nope. I wasn't kidding at all. It's my favorite day ever I think... other than my two 8 pounders.

[@ellenobrien1117]

That will definitely be one of your remarkable day of fishing for your memory book!!!!! Outstanding!!!👏👏👏 video

[@OldLadyAngler]

I agree.... totally. It was phenomenal all around.

[@stewartmainville303]

Fantastic! Beautiful to see those big sows jump. Makes it all the price of admission, huh? WTG!!

They were SO fired up and aggressive!! Just the way I like 'em. Thanks for watching.

[@nathanholl9857]

damn Lady!!!!! great job!! what a great day! "im catching all these fish, let me pack it up and go home" said no angler EVER! so very happy for you!!

Pretty awesome video Ola! See I told you that you would be blessed on your tournament day. You were catching some nice big fish. Great job Ola.

Yessir. Water's clearing up nicely! I only saw a couple of areas of ugliness.

[@1539Mickey]

Hi T. What can I say ???? Today goes beyond description. You must be having a hard time going to sleep tonight, from all that excitement. Waiting to see part 2. Good luck, Mickey

[@OldLadyAngler]

Yeah for sure Mickey. But I slept hard after that day!!

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Dream Day comes TRUE, for you...! I'm waiting until our temps get out of the 30's and 40's to "wet a line". Woke up with the temp around 27 this morning, so I don't think I'll take the 'Yak out today. (I'm so jealous I'm turning GREEN with envy!) Haha! Good luck with ALL your fishing, and keep us Posted - ya Hear?

[@OldLadyAngler]

I really feel for you. There's no way I would last in those temps! Sending warm thoughts your way! Thank you for watching.

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

@@OldLadyAngler Thanks, Gal... Might get up in the 50's by weekend, so I'm hoping to go after some Bass and Crappie! (Think Young, and don't get old - like ME - where the weather "dictates" what you Can and Can-Not DO...!). Haha!

Holy cow TJ!!! That was the video of all videos!! Those fish were monsters and gorgeous! Love the big 5 pounder who almost landed on your lap!! HAHA!.. Glad you had a great day! I could never fish for 8 hours, I would never get out of the boat afterwards!! Haha!...kudos to you lady! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on a great day. I can't wait to see part 2.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thank you so much. Tune in tomorrow!

[@fber5591]

Did you zip tie regular float noodles to the rods?

[@OldLadyAngler]

They're actually made for rods. Downsized. And they come with velcro straps... not zip ties. So easy to take off if you want to bank fish without them. There's a link in the description where you can buy them. Very cheap and a life saver more than once for me.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Congrats OLA!!! Really nice, quality fish. That 5 lb'er had a snout that looked more like a snook! Looking forward to part 2.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Yes such a long nose on that girl! Strange indeed. Part 2 is even better than part 1!! Stay tuned tomorrow!

[@dnlsongs]

Just found you, wonderful coverage, very enjoyable, Danny...

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks Danny. I have hundreds of fishing adventures posted. I hope you enjoy some of them.

[@davetrent8612]

You are in amazing shape girl! The tugging at the launch. The paddling & rowing and you still had the strength to bring the big dawgs to the net. Much credit to you & braided line huh? Perfect skies with a little chop on top had the bass coming to the buffet table (your lure choices)~! If I sound a little jealous & envious, you're dead wrong hun. I am MASSIVE jealous & envious yet mega MASSIVE proud of you~!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks Dave. I try to stay active... while I can!! Lure choices.... almost but not quite. They would not hit a black / blue worm at all. Switched it to amber /green pumpkin and they SMASHED it. The black / blue worm has killed out there for me in the past... that's why I started with that color. They wouldn't hit a jig, spinnerbait or topwater either. So... they made my choice for me.... soft plastics... my favorite!! What a day!!

[@phelps227]

Love the crappie counter and the excitement in your voice!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks Paul. Yeah... when I saw your counter, it reminded me that I needed one for my next Fellsmere outing. Thanks for reminding me! It was an AMAZING 10 hours!

[@FitzYakin]

Great day on the water! Congrats on breaking your 2017 record Tracy. You crushed it!

Excellent fishing trip. I love the way you edit! It's been a while since I've watch your videos. Good stuff. I need to get over there next year during the prespawn for sure. Awesome stuff.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks so much! That place is just amazing. I can't wait to get back out there. Still rehabbing from rotator cuff surgery but I'm almost ready to get back in the kayak. I appreciate the kind words.

[@Josey4u]

Geez Ola. You were on them good! Nice work. Can't wait to watch episode 2. You had some solid tanks in there, and you should've weighed that one again for sure.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thanks Josey4u. It was on fire. And yeah... that first tank had to have been more than what the scale showed. I usually weigh two times. I got in a hurry so I could catch MORE!! Haha. Wait for episode 2. The tanks get bigger!

[@Josey4u]

@@OldLadyAngler and my God I need to get to Florida and drop my kayak in some water.

[@Reefsymmetry]

Now that’s an awesome day 👍

[@OldLadyAngler]

Thank you. YES it was just amazing.

[@TL-il1mx]

Hey OLA, you should have weighed that 3lb 13oz fish again. The 5 pounder was tail walking inside the net, it looked so cool. After I get my pedal drive in for my kayak I would love to fish that place with you someday. Fellsmere has my number, I just struggle there. I will contact you about it. Thanks for the great content 👍🏼👊🏼🎣

@@OldLadyAngler Don't get me started. I'm as passionate about aviation as I am about the outdoors. I hold a PPL with a tail wheel endorsement. It's funny that a high percentage of pilots I know are outdoors people too! Congratulations on retirement!

[@fber5591]

I’m new to kayak fishing, so when you’re in a strong wind, what’s your advice? Get in position and cast until you’re out of position again than reset the position? Or just accept the wind taking you and cast away?

[@OldLadyAngler]

Well if you're in a pedal drive, you can just maintain your position with constant adjustment. It's still gonna blow you around but not totally uncontrollably. With a paddle yak.... it's a frustrating fight if you don't have an anchor. I slight breeze is doable but a wind like I had would make you crazy.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Great day of fishing indeed Tracy! I found myself thinking that you were somehow in saltwater catching redfish and painting them in post to look like bass! Those were monsters! Where’s the tournament when you need one?

[@OldLadyAngler]

A pretty decent day for sure. It was a blast. Thanks for watching.

[@MarioNappa]

So you were able to use the pedal drive without getting hung up in the hydrilla?

[@OldLadyAngler]

Not the entire way, but a good portion of it. It was still a lot of work.

[@FishingWithFred]

Water up is always a good thing lol

[@OldLadyAngler]

ESPECIALLY here. There's so much hydrilla.... when the level drops... it just lays on top of the water and makes navigation nearly impossible.

[@FishingWithFred]

@@OldLadyAngler yeah I can only imagine the difficulty. Float tube impossible lol. Do you ever try to punch through the stuff that's laying over?

[@OldLadyAngler]

@@FishingWithFred No ... but I know I should get better and punching & flipping because we have so much grass in our lakes.

@@OldLadyAngler LOL!!!

[@FishingWithFred]

Is the really big EZ 8inch?

[@OldLadyAngler]

Yes you're correct. I think I said 6.5 huh? Ooops.

[@FishingWithFred]

@@OldLadyAngler no correction was just curious. Crazy how well these fish eat these bigger baits. Makes me think throwing my 8 inch hud might actually bring a fun day. Bass dont have mirrors down there. They dont know how big they actually are. They just have the heart of a lion. And here in most of my waters they're the dominant species

[@OldLadyAngler]

@@FishingWithFred Even the smaller fish were slamming that Really Big EZ. Couldn't believe it. They were hyper aggressive today. Heck yeah... throw that Hud. They're near the top of the food chain here but not quite the king!

[@OldLadyAngler]

@FishingWithFred I just checked my Really big EZ baits and they are indeed 6.5". But now that you mentioned the 8".... I am going to order some ASAP. Imagine the hogs that will eat that bait!!

[@outdoorguy845]

Would you know what the water temperature is. Of course here in the Northeast they start the hit in the spring when the water temperature reaches 50 or 60 degrees. So what happens in Florida what temperature is 80 and goes down to 60s. I would think the fish would be more active unless the Florida fish act different

[@OldLadyAngler]

Florida is quite the opposite. At least in Central FL where I live. When the water temp is cold.... they're usually lethargic. The water was around 68°... give or take a few degrees. We had a few nights in the low 50's and warm sunny days.... that's why I figured it'd be a good day for fishing. Partly cloudy... very windy... high of 80°. The bit did not turn on until lunchtime. That's typical of this fishery.... but I can usually catch a half dozen or so before lunchtime. Not today. I didn't get one bite until they turned on. But then all hell broke loose for several hours.

[@outdoorguy845]

@@OldLadyAngler that would make sense, as the sun heats up the water, the fish become more active. I'm Coming down February 22nd. Probably no point in getting up early in the morning at Sunrise, better off just waiting get on the Water by 9 or 10am

[@OldLadyAngler]

@@outdoorguy845 That depends on where you plan to fish. The best spots are NOT at the ramp. It's a LONG haul.

[@outdoorguy845]

@@OldLadyAngler it's funny you say that. Last April since my fishing partner never made it down with the boat, I was fishing at the boat ramp at Lake Kissimmee. On the opposite side of the lock. Not the Lake side. I caught a three a four and a five pounder. About 50 feet away from the boat ramp. All on a Chatterbait. And lost a big one because it went into the lily pads and being on shore I could not get it out.. the Bass are everywhere. You just never know exactly where they will be at any given time or if they're feeding

[@OldLadyAngler]

@@outdoorguy845 This is true. But I've fished it 30 times in the last 2 years. I can tell you that your odds of catching a giant are not anywhere near as good as they are if you are NOT at the launch. Your call though.
