Re: Lures to bring to Orlando (Fishing Small Lake)
Throw any color plastic worm as long as it's Junebug. Senkos work very well in Florida. I was in Orlando a few years back before Senkos were popular outside of the west coast. The old timers were surprised to see me catch a 5lber before we even left the docks. They have never seen a Senko before...i...

Re: CULLING KIT PROBLEM
G-man, I can't comment about the fish being belly up with the cull bobber, but I can tell you that adding Rejuvenade into your livewell will really help keep those bass lively. It's not cheap stuff, costs about $12-15/bottle, but it is worth it to keep your catch alive. If you haven't tried it, give...

Re: Fastest way from Ladds to Mildred
The 5mph zone at Tiki isn't that long at all. It's one bend of the river until you get to the bridge. From there, take Empire Cut and you'll be at the south end of Mildred in no time.
