OK, not really but warmer and I did fish in a team tourney today on Toho out of southport.

Left the ramp in a fog so thick that I could cast my frog out of site..

A few dinks early with the first keeper at 8.  Then is was dink, dink, dink, dink, and our second keeper at 10.  Finally the fog lifts about 1130 and we make a 40 min run to the big K to find some decent fish.   We get to Kissimmee and are greated with a 20mph wind out of the south and 3' rollers.  Dink, miss, short strike, pickerel, dink, short strike.  2 fish at 4lbs was not worth taking the beating to get back to weigh on time so with released them and kept fishing.  Finally we get back to Toho and decide to check a few more spots.   As we are flying by Makinson Island, there are 12 guys standing on the dock waving at us.  Turns out they are college students that are camping on the island and they have run out of food and have a dead battery on the titantic that got them to the island.  So we put one in warmers boat, 7 are in the titantic in tow behind us, four stay with their camping gear and off we go towards Lakefront park.  We finally get them there at 530 and head back towards southport and get back to the ramp at 6.

All in all a good, albeit, long day on the water....

PS, a half hour later I run in the leading edge of the cold front with hail, sideways rain and falling temps.   There are 12 guys that are real happy that warmer and I just could not stop fishing...

WOW, that's some story Lee, you guys are Too Kool 8-) 8-)

I was fishing the Kissimmee River today (south of FL-60), and I thought that fog would never lift.

I choose the river to dodge the wind, but it was out of the south and came right up the pipe.

Hey, maybe you've only been fishing for a year or so, but you really hit the ground running thumbsup.gif
