Fish Catching Travel

It won’t be long now – the Mighty Snook on the KVD topwater!

Here we are in the Econo Lodge in Perry Florida.  We left Victoria at 4:30, and 15 hours and 900 miles later, we are just 6 hours away from the Everglades.  We could not be any more excited if we tried.

If you have never had a gill rattling Snook blast a topwater out of the mangroves you need to put it on the bucket list.  We are ready with the works, a stop at the grocery store and we will be checking in to the unit.  It is right on the water, has a private ramp, and with the boat wash and under house parking, the place is perfect.

I was hoping to fish Coleto Monday but once I started really getting ready and finishing a few things around the house, it was Tuesday night and time to hit the road.  So there is nothing to report.  Of course, then I got this from Joe . . .

Sorry I just did not make it, though I sure wanted to.  But with the spawn winding down, and so much cover on the lake, I would start looking at points, especially those on the outside of any of the bigger spawning coves.  Of course for me it would be buzzbait and Swimming Jig, but I do have another thought, and that would be the frog.  With the lake so high, and the grass really growing, this year has a real chance to be a gang buster frog year.  So if you get the chance let me know how it went.  And the rest of you if you have a local report drop a quick note so I can pass it on.  And thanks Joe, you have been a loyal reader and I really appreciate it.

As I type this I am laughing.  As we watch TV all of a sudden the channel will change.  It looks like the TV is picking up the signal from another room.  So after it did it a couple of times I started hitting the back button, and then a little while later it would change again, so now I am just changing channels every so often.  It is the little things that are the funniest.

So it is off to the real deal in the morning.   Where we are staying has no internet, but apparently there is a coffee shop close that has it so I will post as soon as I get a chance.  It will not daily so if you have not heard from me it is coming.  So thanks for hanging with me, I will get some pics up in a couple of days.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
