You have to make time to fish. As a kid and throughout college, the time seemed to always be there if I needed it... I would make it out to fish three of four times a month. After college that turned into three or four times a year. Sad. Two years ago, I decided to start fishing again, I asked for a new rod and reel for Christmas... the next Christmas came around and I had not even put string on it. Very sad. I now have made a deal with myself to fish more this season, literally force it into my schedule, I am thinking the blog will somehow help me stick to that. I love fishing because it forces me to slow down, nothing is gained by getting in a hurry on a body of water. Year after year it seems I have less free time, and somehow I feel that it is now even more necessary for me to set things aside and fish. Because, who knows? maybe next year I will have even less time for fishing.


So... It's Crunch Time.

South Florida (posted by Peter)


 
 
 
 
        
 
 
 
 
Overcast skies, light winds, about 75'.

Had about 3 hours before dark, I started at the Everglades Holiday Park. The pumps were running and there was a good flow coming out of the canal system. No action. I moved about 2 miles toward the city of Davie, FL. Almost immediately I hooked this 1 pound Black on a Black/Silver Rapala. I just felt that there were bigger fish in this hole. I switched to a Texas rigged Red Shad worm, had several good bites and had a good fish on but did not land it. The action slowed so I moved to the Canal near I-75 and Griffin Road. After working the shoreline without any action. I switched to a White Spinnerbait with a White Grub trailer and moved to a 2 acre pond by "McDonalds". I got the second one at dusk.
