Piney-Z Pre Spring Spawn Bass

Took a ride over to Piney-Z, lugged the Gheenoe by hand down to the launch. Headed out as the sun was coming up. Worked topwater baits, a few casts in boated a nice 4.5lb bass. Caught a few more on top water until the sun came up when we switched to senko style paddle tail worms rigged weedless. Ended up catching around 15 bass averaging around 3lbs each. Great day on the water.

Spring at Lake Talquin Florida

Took a quick trip to Lake Talquin last week. We got to a late start at around 10am. Spring has sprung and it was about 85 degrees and no wind was to be found. We tried to stay in the shade. Not much luck but was confronted by a large 10 foot gator as we go a little to close to its nest in the lilly pads. No pictures as I was too worried about starting the engine and getting out of the area. Did manage to snap some shots of some other gators. Caught a few bass, was off the water by 1pm due to the heat. 

Piney-Z Lake Bass and Gators

After so much success last trip we decided to take a trip back a few days later. We immediately went to the other side of the lake, to deeper water and the tree clumps. Caught a handful of fish and saw a bunch of wildlife including bald eagles, ospreys, gators, and a very curious otter that came over to say hello and stare at us. Overall another successful day on the water.
