    Spinning gear this time. Just couldn't buy a hit with the fly rod.
    Caught a little Jack off one of the base beaches. Swipes at a top water ... not enough to make me want to seriously take up salt water fishing. But fun after work ....

    My personal best bass ... 9 pounds 13 ounces. Caught from Lake Dupont back around 2006.

    This is where the water levels were in 2006. This was two years after three hurricanes filled up all the lakes and ponds. We'd already been in a 5 year drought when they hit. They revitalized everything ... but we haven't had a good year of rain since.

    Wow.....that's a huge difference......bet there are a lot of gators that have had to find new residence....
    Bet it has affected the feesh population big time also...

    The 'gators stayed long enough to eat the largest fish, as they became available due to shallow water.
    These lakes ... Dupont and Angela ... still have some small fish in them, as they still have water.
    But anything that STARTED as a pond, is now gone.

    Thats sad to see Mike. Here's hoping for some rain. Or at worst case you need a hurricane!
    When is the best time to go fishing? Whenever you can go. Just do it!

    So, I was out yesterday for about 5 hours. I caught 4 bass, each over 15 pounds ... 3 gar that were longer than my 14 foot jon boat ... a few dozen Bluegill, each well over 3 pounds ... and I saved some people from their burning house boat buy tilting my outboard and using the spray to put out the fire.
    Of course, after clearing the SD card from Saturday's trip, I forgot to put it back in the GoPro, so there's no video of any of that !!! You'll just have to believe me !!!

    But, I do have that video from Saturday, with the usual batch of colorful little fish from the St. Johns River.
