I can fish both lake Tohos and fish all 5 lakes on the alligator chain and there are more lakes with in 15 miles. I sometimes can't make up my mind which lakes I want to fish. I usually fish for crappie dabbling around the kissimmee grass and pick up nice copper nose bluegills. I got a nice 5 lb bass in one of the lakes on the alligator chain. I fish mostly with jigs and beetle spin baits. Green is the best color for gills here. I caught a 9 lb bass on a popeye and 6 lb line a few years ago. 9 in copper nose are common here. Just can't find them real often. Thats why I joined this forum, to pick up pointers. Thanks again for the welcome. Jim

Got skunked, but did have a small bass in tow until he wiggled off my tiny panfish targeted wide mouth hooks. Still, I'm landing a few in December, and to today it was down to 38. The Gills are in there, but their metabolisms are so slow, it's touch to get a strike. If you do, you gotta be faster than I was today when setting the hook...

The ice fishing is starting here in Wisconsin, but I know how Texans feel about ice fishing. I had been after trout for many years but with the Mississippi River about a block from our house I've started retooling my tackle. I've fished this water my whole life. Thanks again, Texans.

the pond no oxgen and the only thing in it was bull heads well not knowing better I beguin to aerate and stock with 400 blue gill and 100 channel , I am loaded with blue gill and channel cats now I did introduce a have dozen bass this year .
I have fond out how much fun and work a pond is , the second year duck weed took over and it has taken us the 4 years to get it some what back to where its should be . aeration has been the best tool yet. I have taken out over 3000. yes 3000.
bullheads by trapping and catching them .

I fish an 18 acre church camp lake. Stay in one of their heated/air conditioned cabins for $10 a night. Hunting deer right now.
