Father Daughter outing
I say I have special days so often but, it's true. So many special days. I don't give children's names but this young lady was a natural. A few tips and at 12 she was on her own! Casting, setting hooks and fighting fish to the boat. She now has a PB of 8 pounds and well, smoked dear old Dad this morning. Always refreshing to meet well raised children and great Fathers. She even laughed at me taking the equivalent of a banana slip spill! I told her I would have been disappointed if she didn't.

Pre 500 had bass buistin loose
Fished with my new friend Chris from Birmingham pre nasty front and before the Daytona 500. The pics don't show the howling winds that came. No monsters but non stop solid 3-5's. We tucked and ran at 11 before it got real bad.

Day 2
Day2. We missed a 2 that may have been really big. That's fishing. Before 9 o'clock we had 11 fish but nothing over 5 lbs. We were on the hunt for a MONSTER so we abandoned the old don't leave fish to catch fish and made some moves and started using 8 -10 inch baits. We only managed two 7s after running slim on bait, on the smallest baits we had? Go figure.

Day 1 of 2
Day 1 of a 2 day trip Feb 9, with a great new person to know. Semi retired Tuna fisherman. He had knowledge and great stories to tell. Pretty flawless fisherman in the later days of life but, still living it everyday. His last tuna he caught was 180lbs on a spinning rod! Day 1 we had around 13 fish and most solid 3-6 pound fish.

Bustin' bass with some Kentucky boys!
Great morning fishing with these fine folks from Kentucky. 17 fish total on a half day trip. We had a good early start at daybreak, key thing this time of year. Once the bite started after about 45 minutes of nothing the fish kept coming in steady. Rodman has a tendency to turn on and off throughout the day. Caught the sweet spot this morning. The highlight of everyone's day was young Brantly catching his bass bass all on his own, cast, hook set and reeled him in. He also scored a catfish and big toothy gar for a bonus! Kids love teeth.

Ash and sons from So. Africa via Austin TX.
Had new clients Ash , Noah, and Josh out for a morning trip. The weather was beautiful and finished the half day trip just before the Florida heat kicked in. Boated over 15 bass from 2-4 pounds. That's a solid morning for summer bass fishing. I always hope and fish for a "MONSTER" but hey sometimes they don't show. The water's up to 86 degrees already. We were tossing wild shiners from 3 to 8 inches long on 2 and 4 Kahle hooks.
