Hit Loxahatchee again with South Fla for some frogging action. Last time out Robert put me only on dinks & those nasty mudfish. This time out Robert out did himself  by catching pickerel, mudfish & a nice blue tilapia & a dozen or so bass mixed in. The 2nd highlight of the day occurred after casting a 10.5" Ol Monster worm. I had a professional overrun, picked it out & started reeling in when I felt the line tightening. I set the hook & felt an unmovable weight. Then it started swimming towards the boat & I looked into the water & saw this prehistoric form swimming under the boat with my worm in its mouth. About a 4 foot gator started peeling line off my baitcaster.  Then it started coming back towards the boat before making a long & last run before the hook pulled. Really caught me by surprise. I have heard of people snagging gators before but didn't realize they would pick up a plastic worm. The first highlight of the day was a nice bass on a  rage toad fishing the flats. Special thanks to Robert for a great day & a promise to put him on a big lake erie smallie if he comes up this spring.

Gorgeous fish!

Awesome fish Dwight!

My arsenal is patiently waiting to be deployed in the Northeast.

Wow!  Fantastic!  The color is gorgeous!  Wonder what she weighed?

Great fish man. I wanna see you lip that gator the same way though. I also need a boat seat on erie sometime

Great job, Dwight. I'm glad you and Robert are having some fun out at Lox. I love that place. I wish I could have joined you guys out there yesterday...

beautiful fish Dwight.

It was an exact reversal of roles this last time out!  I was hammering every species known to reside in our local waterways other than bass.  Dwight's alligator at the end of the day was hard to beat even for a Florida native!

Bass are scattered on flats around islands and thicker eel grass areas and pads it seems, lipless crankbait pattern that we had last time fell apart unless you are targeting pickerel or mudfish!

Once again glad we got out there Dwight, next time we are going to have to do some urban bank casting and catch some really big'uns!

Great trip guys.  Robert knows where those beasties live in Lox.

Thats a great fish Dwight and Robert!

nice catching guys. It has been hard to work this week with this great weather.

WTG Dwight! That's an awesome looking fish... Sounds like you and Robrert had a blast
