On thursday I fished "Alligator Alley" for the first time. I was with Dan from JD'sCustomBaits. Dan was doing field testing on a new alligator prototype rubber bait.

I have been in south Florida now for almost 12 years and driven over the Alley countless times but never stopped to fish it. We put in at MM44 or something like that. Fishing next to a major interstate was extremely loud compared to the serene back country areas I frequent. I was sporting a goose egg until Dan figured that we needed to find moving water. When we found it we scored 6 or 7 bass. Here is my first bass from "Alligator Alley". He hit a weightless jdscustombaits monster worm with a 5/0 hook.

Beautiful bass.

Nice fish. Congrats  ;D

  Man...... That is a hawg!! Were they all that big?

Dude nice bass. Way to kill them on the big worm,  I have yet to nail one on a 8inch worm.

Great bass !

Last time I fished the Alley and Tamiami Trail was in the late 1960s - I miss it ! My Dad had an airboat back then and we could get farther back in the 'glades as well...
