Thursday 10/15/15, Lake off Weston Road, 6:00-Dark.

Went out last night for a few hours of bank fishing in the neighborhood lakes. Hit a lake along Weston Road. Fished with senko type baits and Horney Toads. Action was pretty good with 11 small bass. As it was getting dark I committed to one more cast. Threw the senko out and let in settle. All of a sudden there was a thump and the line started moving off toward deeper water. Set the hook and brought in a 25", 8.5 pound old girl with a huge mouth. Took some pics, measured her along the rod, and released her in good shape. These neighborhood lakes are small in size, deep water, with spawning flats, and all connected to the everglades drainage system with culvert pipes. A great way to finish a night! Can't post pics here for some reason.

Very nice i like fishing later in the day aswell.

Wow 8.5. thats awesome. For urban waters thats easily a 10bler. I wonder if she was in prespawn mode..

Thanks, she looked like it.
