Saturday 1/30/16, Holey Land, Palm Beach Fl., 7:00-2:00, Weather beautiful, water clear, current strong in places to the east, bite very subtle, a high of 70*.

Went out today with Steve Johnson a good friend and fellow coach.  We got to the ramps early and were the first ones out there.  We ran east to the second pump house and fished east.  I threw a senko in W/R and got bites right away.  Steve threw a Hollow Body, and spinnerbait and got nothing.  The bite was a lazy one that you couldn't detect until you moved the bait.  Most bites were close to the bank in shallow water.   With the bright sun the bass were tanning themselves in the shallow water.  Steve switched to a jig and trick worm in basic black.  This was to the fishes liking and he got a bunch of hits on this little rig.   He also caught the big fish of the day on this combo.

We ran into another member, Lou, and his brother in law.  It was great to see them out there on the water, its been quite a while.  Steve and I ended with 20 bass total and a bunch we missed with the subtle bite.  Weather was perfect, and we had just enough action to keep us entertained.  After weeks of lousy weather, It was a day to remember!!!!!!!!

Sounds Perfect.

Here you go George, was able to load up those pics for you.

Thanks Rick nice of you to volunteer to do that.

 I went out there yesterday also but the water was moving way too fast to fish anything where I was at

Totally different from the boa,t then from the bank.  We caught most of ours were the flow was not too heavy.  The bass caught were up shallow and in areas where the sun was beating down on the rocks.  Most caught on the northern bank of the two big lakes.  The sun warmed up the water there  and the Florida bass love warm in winter.   In any lake, the Warmest water is always on the northern shore in the winter with a north wind.  Also the least wind on the northern shore where the levee blocked the wind.  Bite was very subtle, with little indication of a bite.   Fishing was tough but we found some in isolated pockets.  The north and western canals were flowing like a river.  That made for tough fishing in those canals..  The east canal was not that bad.   Lots of different possibilities in the Holey Lands on any day.  Don't give up on out there.
