Found new fishing spot
Caught a bunch of nice Tilapia but hoping for a bass. Caught 6 big Tilapia and 7 smaller ones, all in an hour or so. I'll put a couple Tilapia in the comments if I can.

Anyone try these bad bois yet?
Does your kid have one to try?
Get back to us poor fishermen. These are much cheaper.
Cactus growing in our palm tree, it looks different that regular night blooming cerus. Please id. Thanks
I need to replace the back wheels with the balloon wheels but the current axle is 10 mm, the new wheels are 20mm. Could I put bearing(s) inside the new wheel? What size is recommended?
I stopped to check Baitshop prices for live bait of shrimp and bait fish shiners or greenbacks... Much too high imho at Kracken Tackle in Fort Myers. $14/shrimp, 24 shiners, $28 / large shiners. If you remember the price you pay please post Baitshop name and prices.. We can use this as a resource to find good bait shops. Thanks!

Today only ladyfish and large greenbacks caught. Baby porpoise around the pier. Got here early morning. Talked to a local as he was packing his car. He got 2 small pampano under 14 inches on shrimp.
Looking for beaches between Naples and Sarasota that allow fishing. I can't trust AI for this most important task. Thanks guys and Happy Father's Day!
As the title says I'm looking for a beach with a functional fishing pier between Naples and Sarasota.
AI is unreliable as hell, you my brothers are not. Thanks for your time.
New Penn Battle combo and my bait rig. I'm going to break it in tomorrow at Nickomus Beach. I know the jetty is better fishing, but it's a "granddaughter day" and I am taking the opportunity. Can't wait to hear that drag scream!
Put the name and city or link. Top comment wins. I have one in mind, but I'll let someone else post it. Tight lines guys.
I catch tilapia in the mornings. I'm getting my old saltwater rigs cleaned up and the Calossahatchee River goes through town. It has Bull sharks, Tarpon, and Snook.
​
Has anyone successfully used tilapia for bait for big fish?
Picked up fishing after 15 years, my 2 old reels are relatively ok except the little line wheel that spins as the line leaves the spool is crudded up. Any tips to clean them, both still spin. Thanks for your time and expertise.
I recently took up fishing and dug out a couple of my old +15 years Shimano Bait Runner 4500 and 6500, both with ugly sticks. I washed the dust off and wiped and dried them. They seem fine. I always rinsed them with freshwater after use. Should I attempt to disassemble or just buy new reels? What reesl would be comparable ?
