The heat finally broke here in Florida. It's still plenty warm enough for bass fishing though. Finding the fish was challenging this trip, but Steve P. located a pod of mixed size bass busting shad and we ended the day with 31 LMB.

It was not a typical 'schoolie bass' situation in that the fish were all different sizes. We caught a few shorts, about a dozen or so in the 2-3 lb range with a nice selection of 3 to 5 pounders.

Rattletraps, a stick marsh favorite were the heroes of the day.

Hmmmmm....don't know why there is the big space between the text and the pix.

I posted the pics the way i always used to, but i guess things are different now.

I couldn't even figure out how to delete the post to try again.

Oh well, i'm sure someone will come along to set me straight.

apologies for the inconvenience.

Education re: posting pics, and deleting unwanted posts greatly appreciated.
