You ever have one of those days fishing where it seems like nothing is working?  Well I certainly had one earlier today fishing out of Holiday Park in the Everglades.  It seemed like nothing I was trying was working..  Cut to the end of the story after catching a couple of dinks...I decide to make one last cast on a small line of lilly pads about a mile away from the docks.  Next thing I know I'm in a battle with a massive fish.  A short time later I end up pulling in my first double digit bass ever.  Whoot.  10.73 pounds of Largemouth fun.  After celebrating for a moment I reach over to grab my camera only to realize that it had been left on all day and was sitting there with a dead battery.  I knew I should have charged them up the night before.  Oh well.  I guess I can't complain, a new PB for me a few weeks after getting back into bass fishing.  Now I just need to go lay into a Peacock thats in the double digit range.   ;D

Wow. Good work.

I thought HP, Sawgrass etc were on fire down there. Guess not.

I've heard that there was a few fires in the area, none where I was though.  I really didn't go all that far from the docks though.  There was also a lot of commotion going on about the bald eagle nest thats in the general area.  Lots of people stopping by talking about it.  The ramps and docks were a lot more crowded for a weekday than normal.  Mind you, it is spring break right now...

Topwater frogs.  Topwater frogs.  I've been killing bass on a few lakes out in my area lately.  Nothing huge, but they frogs have been destroyed at the surface.  Zoom horny toads.

Congrats on joining the 10lb club    i hope to join one day

Yes, they are on FIRE! but not in the since of flames burning...the low water has turned the entire Everglades into really good fishing.

A lot of small fish, but there are ways of catching the bigger ones at times. Mostly just going through the numbers!

Good Fishing

haha.....yeah that is what i meant by "..on fire"

it is really good and has been for a couple of weeks. the best part is it is only going to get better. i fished last tuesday and caught over 20 fish with a solid 7 pounder. my club had a little tourny at holiday yesterday with big fish takes all, and a 7.16 took the cash. my partner and i caught over 30 fish with 3.6 being the biggest. caught many fish that were 2 and 3 pounds, but never got the big bite. the big ones are there, you just have to find them.
