Fishing

Freshwater saltwater Lakes, Ponds, Rivers, Streams talk about the ones that got away. Show us the ones that didn't.

Nice fish Bugs. You are lucky to have that kind of access to that kind of fishing. Id half to eat one now and then.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Al the irony here is that I mostly ignored this fishery for the 20 years I've lived here. Spent most of my time in the salt chasing tarpon, snook and redfish. Even did the offshore gig for a while. It was fun but when I think of the $$$ I blew on that venture it makes me wonder. All the while I had this world class bass fishery in my back yard. I think that is the definition of stupid. It took a cut in income and a couple of years of red tide destroying our inshore fishery to push me back there after bass and I must say I've never been happier on the water. Very few people fishing out in these canals as everyone is keyed into the saltwater glamour fishes. Beautiful scenery, wading birds, a myriad of turtles and other critters in the canal systems and no crowds. It is relaxing and fun and costs very little. Took the day of from work got up early this morning and going to do a little bass fishing. :D

Todays contestants. Caught 7 bass, fished for 3 hours, lost 6 more. One which was really big, looked like someone dropped a bathtub in the water when it hit but totally missed the lure. Couple pics of ones that didn't get away.

I took the boat out to test a new ss prop it went well. Did a quick troll and landed a nice trout for dinner. Went home relaxed and happy with my day.
