Alligator Alley MM 35 5/4/19

FLO GROWN · May 04, 2019, 03:49:52 PM

Went out to MM35 this morning solo,my fishing buddies couldn't make it, put in at 730am VERY heavy fog visibility was bad so needless to say I didn't run far.

Started the morning buzzing a magvibe which I normally do,no takers so I slowed it down throwing a worm in pads started getting some fish than it seemed the worm bite downed so I started pitching a jig started picking up some bass on that had about 10 between worm n jig.

Than wind started to kick up and whenever the wind kicks up I always start tossing a spinnerbait it was on!!! From 930ish till 1pm I was catching bass one after another between 13-16 " got one that went 17" it was the best one of the day finished the day 130 mainly due to soooooo many airboats giving tours and I had 53 bass so I was good. Had a great time out there as usual got to clear my head and have some fun, here's a few pics I took. Thanks for reading!!

Yeah.. we'll see. They were all operating out of the East ramp on 35 but for whatever reason they all moved operations to the North ramp.

Good stuff man. Hate to hear the airboats are there still causing issues. Really puts a damper on the area.

Probably because there are ton of alligators now in the canal for mating season,but in defense of them each time they pulled up they motored down so that was very classy of them.

Very true, the airboat operators were very courteous, but.... still a huge pita dealing with 4 airboats simultaneously operating all day long.
