More Florida fishin’

I took my daughter and her boyfriend out on Stick Marsh just prior to a front coming through and thought the fishing would be outstanding. Turned out not to be the case and we worked hard for the bites we got. Chrissie started us off with the gar pictured above that smashed a Chug Bug about ten feet from the boat. I destroyed the hooks trying to get them out but the bait will be good to go again after I rerig some new ones. We only caught 15 bass in about six hours of fishing but with the warm weather in the forecast and a full moon on the way it is going to fish really well in a couple more days.

I never get tired of the wildlife down here and big gators are a great part of the scenery. The one we took the picture of was a big un’.
