Loxahatchee Preserve, Lox Road Ramps, Saturday 4/22/17, First light until 10:30, water clear on the flats, mostly cloudy sky, 80*, wind ESE 15 to ridicules, water temp 77*, bass scattered.

 

I met Steve Johnson in Weston and we went up to Loxahatchee early.  We started on the flats fishing the spoil bank, from east to west.  We let the wind push us the way it was blowing.  This kept us off the trolling motor, and in stealth mode, and made casting simple.  Steve was throwing a morning dawn stick-o, and I was throwing a watermelon red.  Steve caught about 7 early and I was skunked.  As soon as the sun came out I went on a run catching, and Steve shut down completely.  As the day went on the wind continued to climb, until it got in the ridicules range.  The weeds are getting thicker, and harder to move around.  We went out into the canal, and caught some quality fish in the deeper waters.  Steve on a craw jig, and myself on a wacky rigged senko.  Both baits caught quality fish in the deeper waters.

 

We ended the day at 10:30 because of the ever increasing wind.  We caught 25 bass between us, the largest ones were in the two pound range.  It was a fun day with an old friend and some cooperative fish.  It doesn't get much better then that!

Nice report Geo! Thanks for sharing.

Omg really???When he was tossing me his rope I thought he was gonna take my boat I would help anyone in need but this experience made me realize I can put myself and family in danger as well when your dealing with people that don't know what they are doing

Was that an inboard outboard?  How far down the canal was he when he went in the flat?  I'm amazed he didn't lose his lower unit.

it was a jet drive. after i towed him back to the ramp, he worked on his boat for a while. he didn't even thank me for towing his sorry butt in.

He would have been in trouble if you didn't happen to see him, and decide to help.  No thanks, what a jerk!

Nice fish Wurming! Wind was terrible this weekend, it's good to see Lox is producing some good sized fish!

 

Also that was real nice of you helping that guy out with his boat. Too bad it sounds like he hasn't learned his lesson since Boca helped him out, and now you had to help him out.

Yea he didn't thank me either some people shouldn't own a boat being careless and reckless can hurt innocent people.

Thanks!!! I think there is quite of big bass in there I been pretty fortunate hooking up with some of them alot of work but all worth it when they are pulling drag than running under Neath your boat with with rod all the way bent and holding on with both hands it's good stuff?
