Quote from: FlatsNBay on April 23, 2024, 01:26:44 PMWish I was going. Y'all have a great get together. I've got big Rick on my Everglades fantasy team. My prediction is that he comes back with a vengeance!

Whatever you do, don't put any money on that. LOL

Sorry to say I have too many obligations this week to pull this off. Would sure love to have made it. I hope everyone gets a boat load.

I'm posting my mini report over here for you guys.

Fished the outer fringes of Holiday Park this morning from 7am to 11:30am. Landed 54 bass and peacocks. Few bass over 3 lbs.

I will share the area and the baits I used on Saturday, for those of you who arrive early.

Here's the not so good news. Be ready to encounter a TON of boat traffic from out of town folks.

Some of these boaters do not know about fishing and boating etiquette. So be aware.

These folks are mainly chasing for oscars and Mayans. They they travel in large groups. Do not be surprised if you encounter caravans of 3 to 5 boats at a time.

They basically drove me off the water today. I crossed paths with Jhab. He can attest to the boat traffic. (Great seeing you today, Jim!) The fishing was great, but boat after boat, after boat, started getting really annoying.

I will be fishing a different area on Saturday, so I will not be concerned about the boats.

Just wanted to let you guys know what you're in for.

See you Saturday!!

Ok, gang, as of right now, we have 4 boats and 7 participants.

Below is the weather forecast for Saturday. Not too bad, I would like the wind to be less, so adapt accordingly.

See you guys on Saturday!

After launching we may want to park trailers near tree area west of restrooms, maybe we can get space back after loading. Really busy out there. Wife making brownies and lemon cheesecake bars for dessert! Looking forward to get together. Couple pics from Wed.
