To start the day. I didn’t want to go far or stay very long, had plans of being home by 10. And I was, mark that on the calendar cuz I never make it home on time when I go fishin. Put in at Volusia County park and messed around close by, but
...
I had to try my hand and see if last weekend was a dumb luck story. So this trip I pulled the skiff and 10 rods to see if I could get into some serious harvesting. I told myself that if I got into some good fish in good numbers that I’d spend

Haven’t been in near thirty years but I went offshore with my SIL today. Mike has a very nice 22’ center console well suited for the task. A few large fish were fought today but mostly in Mike's friends boat that was fishing nearby. I didn’t

Took a couple of days off before I lost em at the end of the year. I turned 65 on Tuesday and that seemed like as good an excuse as any. I hadn’t been to the salt for a while so that’s where I wound up. Tuesday I went solo in the Jon and it

This morning, but not without its rewards. Everything smooth from the start with one exception. I forgot to put the millennium seats in the boat. The plus to that was that they wouldn’t get in the way today. Had we been out for a long day I

This would be my office. I couldn’t stand it, I just had to go.
We went to my wife’s brothers house for dinner so other than mowing the lawn, I had time to go. The fish were kinda stingy with only one fish that came
...
I will tell of a great event in spite of cool, windy conditions. Several folks fished with mixed results. Or should I say that several folks braved the 15+ mph winds. My flat bottomed boats stayed in their berths and I helped a little with
...
Started my vacation today and had to go find some fish. I haven’t found any Crappie to speak of and the bluegill are all out in the woods due to the river being high. That was as of about two weeks ago and I haven’t been looking since. So this
...
But a good trip all the same. Up early and headed to Mosquito 🦟 Lagoon. Wonderful sunrise greeted me and light westerly winds. Tossed a top water for too long and only really had one cast that it got fooled with, but it did raise my

Schedules are our enemy and time always hard to find, so when I saw good conditions in the forecast, we spoke and agreed it was time to go to the salt. We got left out about 5 with all the needed items in tow. We didn’t plan on staying too
...
I can’t explain, I’m at a loss for the words. We had the best trip together this evening that either of us have had in a very long time with the bluegill and crackers. Let me back up to the start of it all. She’s a 911 operator and the schedules

Were kept today. The day started early to beat the wind and was supposed to finish early. Fished til about noon and while I caught enough to keep me interested, these were the only keepers. The biggest was 13 1/2”. The bluegill wasn’t overly

Since Doug and I shared a boat and we changed that today. Exploration was the theme mostly with both of us not knowing the areas we fished. We started in an area that we both had fished before for a short while just cuz we couldn’t drive by
...
The app on my phone said it was to be a puny day. The sun wasn’t out, the wind was 17 with gusts. The weather folks said it was gonna rain, which the wife found when she left the house and headed north. Far be it from me to argue with the liars.
...
We haven’t been in a while. She’s now driving and doing very well in cheer competitions so it isn’t easy to get our schedules to connect. We got lucky today with everything except the starting temp of 51*. Now to some of you that isn’t that

It’s been a long while since my Brother Jim and I have shared a boat. I took Friday and Monday off and he spent Thursday driving down from Atlanta to spend the days fishing with me. Got the Jon boat wired and ready for the trips just in time
