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.

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.

Tossing Japanese Coike baits on a drop

Shot today on long points and humps .

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.)

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

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

Boat registration tomorrow. Figured I’d ‘beat the bank’ as Dodson says. This is one of those WTH moments on the Tamiami Trail.

Caught some dinks and 1 good one.

It seems most of the bites were in shaded areas near where the banks drop sharply. At least in north Florida.

Did I mention it’s friggin hot

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.
