Lois & I spent the afternoon on Florida's Winter Haven Chain.

The weather and the wildlife were really outstanding today, we seen pelicans, snail kites,

several nesting ospreys, great blue herons and a pair of nesting bald eagles.

Lois boated the only good fish today, a 22" bass weighing 6lb 2oz.

Her fish fell for a Deps 6" Deathadder Grub, a discontinued lure.

Very Nice Bass ~

 

Congrats to you both.

Great fish!

Sounds like a great day. When I go out with my son we have a fishing "contest" (rules vary) and a wildlife spotting contest.

He is just as excited about the wildlife viewing as fishing.

 

I remember you talking about that Deps bait before, I never did find any. Have you found anything similar to it? What exactly does it look like?

Thank you fellows

I think that's a great idea when fishing with a youngster.

The fishing might be slow, but the wildlife show never quits.

No, I've never found a substitute with the same bulk and vibes.

The closest I’ve come is the Zoom Ultra-Vibe Worm and Berkley 10" Power Worm.

Thanks Roger. It does have a unique look to it. Well, for a worm that is...looks like a grub that has been working out.

 

Maybe it's time to start producing your own baits??

I always love those pictures of Lois holding up a Florida big girl. Sounds like you had a great outing.
