I think that's a glitch in Frogger...

Krikey! and that bed with a 10# is just past the first two.

Great photo!!  The canal next to FL700 looks very similar to that this time of year.

While we don't have them in "packs" like the photo above, with thousands of lagoons in our SC area we have thousands of gators. That's why when I bank fish I always fish in a clearing with good lines of site and not some tiny opening in the woods. I want to make sure I have a quick egress at all times.

 

Just yesterday I was fishing and there was a gator 120 yards away on the opposite bank. I had been fishing there for 10 minutes - even caught a 2 pounder (big enough to make enough nose and get his attention) - and the gator minded his own business. I turned around and went part way up the bank to change lures and when I turned back the gator was moving full speed through the water - on a bee line towards me.

 

Normally a gator will come towards where I am fishing and stay 20 or 30 feet off shore, either waiting for me to catch a fish or just asserting that I am in his territory. Not this one. He kept coming, right onto shore. But by then I had grabbed my tackle back and headed to the top of the embankment. Needless to say I went and fished somewhere else!

You look like a good meal!!!!

That's when you know there is fish there. Best time to bank fish.

Fishing next to alligators is definitely not for the faint of heart but there can be some very good fishing in a area with lots of alligators.
