looks like good bass water. is it deep?

2020-12-03 04:23:46 UTC  

It’s not super deep, and it’s ok for bass

2020-12-03 04:24:07 UTC  

It’s the okeechobee waterway

2020-12-03 04:24:38 UTC  

It connects lake okeechobee to the ocean

2020-12-03 04:24:59 UTC  

I imagine you get a bit of salt there then?

2020-12-03 04:25:05 UTC  

or no?

2020-12-03 04:25:10 UTC  

It’s more brackish than fresh

2020-12-03 04:25:26 UTC  

gotcha.

2020-12-03 04:26:04 UTC  

We get Jacks, Snook, Tarpon, Snakehead, Catfish, Mayan Cichlids, freshwater eels, Croakers, Mullet, Shad, etc.

2020-12-03 04:26:29 UTC  

But the bite there has been mad slow

2020-12-03 04:26:55 UTC  

So I’ve been bass fishing lately behind my house

2020-12-03 04:27:30 UTC  

nice. I would love to hook a tarpon or snook

2020-12-03 04:27:56 UTC  

Little tarpon are like acrobats

2020-12-03 04:28:01 UTC  

I have a 6wt fly reel, broke my rod but I am going to replace it. I imagine that is enough for tarpon?

2020-12-03 04:28:31 UTC  

Snook are like bass on steroids, and tarpon are snook on steroids

2020-12-03 04:29:17 UTC  

so maybe not then xD

2020-12-03 04:29:23 UTC  

6 is way too low

2020-12-03 04:29:36 UTC  

10-12 size is better

2020-12-03 04:29:47 UTC  

oh jeez, I was thinking an 8

2020-12-03 04:29:51 UTC  

Nope

2020-12-03 04:30:12 UTC  

Oh and tarpon get up to 200 pounds so...

2020-12-03 04:30:22 UTC  

I think the record is 280

2020-12-03 04:30:39 UTC  

ye, okay 12wt it is

2020-12-03 04:30:43 UTC  

<:KEK:726877368601411624>

2020-12-03 04:30:48 UTC  

And world record snook is like 53 lbs,

2020-12-03 04:30:58 UTC  

jeez, i didnt think snook got that big

2020-12-03 04:31:05 UTC  

I figured maybe 40

2020-12-03 04:31:29 UTC  

I think the world record was in Costa Rica

2020-12-03 04:31:37 UTC  

sounds about right.

2020-12-03 04:32:36 UTC  

Dude when I fish this place and a tarpon swallows a mullet, it sounds like somebody threw a cinder block in water

2020-12-03 04:34:44 UTC
