Today’s weather report was not at all encouraging, but that has been the norm

in central Florida for about 3 months. My plan was to begin at my farthest waypoint

then work my way back to the ramp as conditions dictated.

Bites were few and far between, and then lightning in the northern sky

forced me to retreat to a holding site near the ramp I call the “PigPen”.

Soon after getting on my numbers there was a cloudburst

that only lasted about 3 minutes. Water visibility was obscured by rainfall

and I said to Lois, “Now is a great time to be fishing”. The words had barely left my mouth when a bass lambasted my lure.

Although she wasn’t as heavy as the bass I posted in July,

she was a much better fighter. She produced about four whitewater vortexes,

and on spinning gear she felt like a small alligator

Very nice fish and story! I'd love to get to fish on a day that was cloudy! Seems like everytime I've gone this year has been bright sunny skies.

WTG Roger, A fine looking fish, great photos and report
