Had the opportunity to fish the Everglades again today. Arrived at 0 dark thirty. Made a short run. I started with a Spinnerbait, but that was short-lived.
Switched to a swimbait, managed to catch 2 little guys.
Switched to a popper, covered a lot of water, and managed to coax a 4lbr to come up and smash it!



Stayed with the popper but didn't manage to catch another bass with it.

Wind picked up considerably as the morning progressed, so I switched over to a spinnerbait. Decided to fish it really deep.
A solid bass struck almost right away.



Short time after another! But it came off.
A few minutes later, a bass stopped me in my tracks, but it shook me off before I could turn it.
As time went on, I managed to boat several more decent bass.





Called the trip a little after noon.

All in all, fun day. Slow start, but the action picked up nicely as the day progressed.

Thanks for reading!
