Returned back home today to Thomasville. Glade to be back. (You do not want to be on the river during the weekend. Too much traffic & crazy boaters). Spent Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights at "Castaways by the River" in Astor. 10 boats from this area converged on the location. Big League place to stay, first class, upscale from South Moon, though South Moon is our favorite place in Astor, only fishermen stay there. Anyways, about fishing. Fished Dexter & Woodruff for Shellcracker & Copperheads. Wind was notorious, cool front moved through dropping water temp & water level is 1.5-2 feet below normal due to dry conditions in the south Fl area. Fish were not on beds as of yet. Could not fish in lakes due to the wind, but in the mouth of deeper creeks of both lakes. Found fish staged up in 4 to 5 feet of water using pond worms & crickets fished on the bottom. Males were peeing & females full of row when we cleaned them. It was tuff fishing during these days. Perfect time will be today through Thursday next week, if you can be fishing during this period.
Will be at South Moon Fish Camp June 6,7,8, soaking worms & crickets for those Shellie's & Copperheads out on the river & the big lake.
Good fishing to all.
