Got my bride out on the boat today. It was windy and cool with dirty water and very slow bite.

Some of my bigger catches this year..

Met a huge Snapping turtle at the pond yesterday.. no telling how old this thing is.. probably has musket balls and arrowheads stuck in it's shell. lol.

I have to say a memorable fishing trip was one recently. I great conditions and pretty much a lake to my self.... I noticed what appeared to be a shadowy side of a cloud. I noticed that it was floating in a linear fashion, so took a picture just because y never know.... Well I zoomed in and tried to take a couple more. When I reviewed d the photographs. I saw a solid dark colored object.... What to y'all think? Sorry the last one aren't steady I was at 30 zoom. Like I said, when I took the picture it looked like a shadowy cloud.

Had a pretty decent day today found one good fish.. managed to get line tangled all in my prop and when taking it apart dropped prop in water and it sunk lol.. thank god I had a spare

Started the morning with a surprise. 5lb 1oz on a white top water popper. Ended up having a productive bag for the day and didn’t throw one Jerkbait. Happy Holidays.

Tom Spoljaric saw your post about maps. I use GPS Nautical Charts for my breakdowns and research. I'll attach a few screenshots, my favorite view is the Relief chart. It shows the underwater contour really good. Hope this helps. (You can look at them for free or buy them.)

Had motor problems at the dock this morning in 90+ degree FL temps. Instead of turning around and heading home I said I was going to go get what I came for. So I parked the boat and went bank fishing.

Celebrating the last day of school with some more late night shenanigans.
