Big fish had head and length of 7 pounder but only showed 5lb 8 oz on scale. Really skinny. Check accuracy of scale and seems to be good
Good video rusty
Nice fish Rusty. I had no idea you were such a talented dancer.😁
Ha! Multi talented 🥴. Grandkids think I’m just a silly old man. Love to make them smile
Finally got one out, good job man. see you out there Tuesday
I’ll be there. Is this Harold?
Dave!
nice fish sir...and that's why you throw a swim bait on Hernando! lol she was 7 pounds a month ago...congrats...
Thx. I thought she was a 7 as well. Had the head and length but paper thin. I’ll still take it
That's a good one ! Do you know anyone or anyplace up there that rents out slips or docks ? Or how I could find out ? The old trusty swimbait ! Goldrush ? I would say that was your best day in a while. We used to do good there when it was unbearably hot.
I don’t know about boat slips for rent unless you could find a homeowner that would rent. I know there are Airbnb’s on the water. Maybe they would rent a slip? Might be worth a try.
I seem to do best in heat. They like to get in the pads for shade and feed on bluegill
Anyone you could lead me to by chance or maybe to call ? Or a source to seek out? We almost died out there a few times ! I do believe we had our best fishing then. It gets Tarzan hot out there !!!
@@jamespetit1 I would have no idea to contact as I don’t know anyone that lives on the water. Maybe get on Airbnb, look for short term rentals on water with dock. They may possibly rent out their dock if looking to make $. Don’t know if it will work, just a thought
@@rustyreidfishing3334 Okay, keep an ear to the wind if you would. Maybe see you up there soon. Going tomorrow to look at a boat.
Very nice day
Not sure how long you have been fishing Hernando but I’ll ask anyways
Do you know why there are not more midsize bass in the lake
1lbers to 10lber
2s 3s and 4s are very difficult to find
Hey Kenny, I’ve been fishing Hernando for about 5 years now. I know the lake has the larger fish. In that time I’ve caught 4 over 8lb and 2 over 9lb. Had 8lb 11oz May of last year was my last trophy. I’ve had a multitude of 3-5s all on artificial baits. Summer of 2022 was probably my best period. Last summer and so far this summer it’s been slow on bigger ones. I know there was a 13 caught earlier this year and a 9 caught just couple weeks ago. I have the philosophy to just catch as many as I can and the big ones will come. I seem to do better in the heat of the day. I think the record breaking heat last summer hurt. I think they just bury themselves in the deeper pads for for shade and to feed on bluegill. I’ve toyed with the idea of taking all my rods out of the boat for a few days and just taking a couple of flipping sticks and forcing myself to use them. Just my thoughts.
Do you fish Hernando often? If so stop me and say hey. Love to talk fishing
Yes for a long time
Me and my son were out on Father’s Day from 6 to 10am
We caught 19
1 to 2lbs
Yes we have caught some bigs
But overall it’s small or large and with water coming down thought those fish would have to group up a bit
