Sometimes fighting the wind is worth it.

4th of the day from Sunday in central FL. One short of a limit and all were about the same size. However it was good to catch again. Now back to cold NY.

First fish of the yeat

2 weeks left until I head to Picwick!

Out and about today probably caught 20 ish fish one decent fish to put on the board.. was cold out and north wind .. I usually hate fishing north wind but today was decent

Did a little bottom dragging this morning. Gotta say I’m well pleased with the result!

Last night’s class was FIRE (my 12 yr old is teaching me new lingo)! If you missed it… ouch.
After listening to Mack talk about getting back to your roots, I decided to turn off the graph and start hammering docks and shoreline like it was 110 degrees outside. It finally paid off with a solid bite on a Minimax ChatterBait paired with a Z-Man Goat trailer.
I’ve officially caught my winter bass, and not by staring out of a shanty window on a frozen lake!

Working the points…. Following Brian’s persistence. Wind picked up and swim bait produced. Lake Lanier has been playing tough today

Welp... Update time. When you fish points it pays off! My son caught 10 trout! I set the hook on a couple for him but he reeled them in. Actually hooked 12, but we let two kids that were fishing next to us catch them and keep them since they had not caught anything yet... The only thing better than getting paid to fish... Is getting paid to watch and help kids fish. He didn't place in the top three but had to be close. His two biggest were a 2.5 and 2.3 pounds. Anyone have any good trout recipes? Hahaha!
