Started the day very early compared to most folks. Passed the park where we held the Slabfest at 5:30. Went to the Seminole County side just because it was open. First on the scene there and launched without incident and headed out into the

Just a short story to share. I eat lunch at a small Chinese place in Lake Mary. I’ve been known to buy a meal for a first responder occasionally, insisting that the waitress say nothing about who paid the tab. On the 23rd I tried to do this
...
I know, most of you would say something like” not if I don’t have to”. When my chores are caught up, mostly, and the sour weather predictions lost some of the sour, and time to fish is kinda limited anyway, I put on the suit and make good use

Plate very full this weekend, even though I didn’t have to work. Camryn is staying with us for a couple of weeks while Mom and Dad are in Colorado chasing Elk, no news yet. She’ll be chasing deer in Arkansas week after next, so we took advantage
...
But I’m so glad I didn’t. Got an early start after a rough week at work. I was ready for some water time. Saw Mike and Sylvia at a very busy ramp, collegiate tourney, maybe high school. 17 boats. The sun wouldn’t be up for at least a half an
...
Today’s forecast was rain after 3 so I finished my Granddaughters pancake breakfast and came home and hooked up. Didn’t start til 11 and figured I’d get a few and I wasn’t disappointed. Only caught 7 or 8 I think but it was enough for me. Home

So off I went to my usual stomping grounds. I haven’t kept any fish in months and I’ve been hearing a bluegill sammich calling my name. After the noseeums tied to eat me alive last week I was in no hurry to start early for a repeat performance
...
Camryn and I haven’t been in a while, we both had time, and so we went. I had a good bite going the last time the river stopped flowing, and it hadn’t rained in quite a while. Hoping the timing was right we dropped in before 7 and made it to
...
So I hollered at Ernie and off we went. Left early, saw Bassman at the ramp. I hope the luck turns around with the new ride. Didn’t want to stay late and neither of us had a full load of steam, but needed to get out for a while and catch up.

Y’all know how I like to fish. Ive been telling my buddy Phil about it for so long it was beginning to get a little thin, so I got him in the other woman this evening and he got his introduction. Started fishing about 3:30 and stayed til 6,

You have all seen my posts over the past few weeks of my salt water adventures. Up2Specks has been a gracious host twice to both see that myself and his other guests were in the fish and that a good time was had by all. His mission was well

Was going to work today but wimped out yesterday and stayed home. Good thing I did. Dinner with the SIL and gdaughters last night and i was just tired, more than usual and a bit cranky too. Fell asleep in the chair at about 10 til 8, went to

For quite some time I have anticipated todays gathering. Y’all know my story and there has also been some other gatherings that I had in mind to attend that just didn’t happen. Speck Detector shared my boat today and had my back, making sure

Since Ernie and I went about a month ago I’ve been wanting to get back out. The last trip was tough on me, too early in the recovery stage. Didn’t get hurt but it let me know that I didn’t have the endurance that I needed just yet. Hoping that

Having worked yesterday and mowed the weeds when I got home, I was ready for a little me time. I dropped in about 7 and went looking for some bedded fish I had smelled a week ago. Didn’t find them and really didn’t look too awful hard, and

I said last night that if I got a small window in the weather I would go try out my new rods. Well, I didn’t get gone at the crack of dawn but I did get out at about 0700:. Windy and humid, it was nice to be the third boat at the ramp. Dropped
