Enjoying the Easter Break with the family out on the West coast of the state. Sitting in the backyard fishing, of course.
I observe a water bird swimming through the water, and low a behold, a nice bass is following the bird. I've never seen that before.

Well we are blessed in Florida that in the Fall, Winter, and Spring we don't get much. We kinda need some. Things are getting shallow up here again like normal. Think I am gonna play in the rain tomorrow morning.

Talking with Lee yesterday we discussed how dry you guys are right now. Wish I could send you the deluge of rain we are experiencing.

Ten inches today here in Davie. Some places got more.

Canesfan · April 12, 2023, 05:25:04 PM

We needed it but this is ridiculous.

FlatsNBay · April 13, 2023, 03:09:38 PM

The swim jig bite was a lot of fun today while pond hopping. Got dialed in and lost about a 7 pounder that pulled off. Caught a bunch of solid fish in the 3-4 pound range with the biggest going 5.11. Fun day!

Sounds like a heckuva a day!

Fishing after this crazy wet week should be interesting. Stay tuned.

Capt. BassinLou · April 14, 2023, 03:42:41 AM

Let's see how this goes. Talk to you guys later.

Capt. BassinLou · April 16, 2023, 03:24:29 AM

Well,,, I'm all set for today. It's a Sunday, so let's see how the boating traffic is going to be. Fingers crossed its not too crazy. Game plan is in place, rods are rigged and ready to go. This should fun!! I'll report later today.

Larry Francis · April 18, 2023, 11:59:52 AM

Right after the storms blew through yesterday. I went out to WH Chain and fished. found 7 in 4 hours with the biggest being 3.5lb. 4 fish on the Dogma and 3 on a Worm. Kinda breezy and a little chill in the air for this time of year in Florida.

Capt. BassinLou · April 19, 2023, 02:55:06 AM

I'm investigating reports that there's been a FD sighting in South Florida? I'm going to check out this report and I will let you guys know what I find.

He needed some moving water!

Capt. BassinLou · April 24, 2023, 09:44:36 AM

This out of season rain, sure is making fishing a bit more challenging!

Capt. BassinLou · April 30, 2023, 06:11:07 PM

Anyone fish in this wind today?
