Ham Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 So @FishnDave and I are doing a thing. We are both about to hop on planes and fly to Miami. It’s going to be a marathon length sprint to catch as many different species from as many different locations as we can shoe horn into seven days. Yep 7. Gonna be exhausting. We both get to start the trip with a sleep deficit. Dave will of course be All Fly All the Time. I will be 50/40/10 fly/spin/micro. We both hope to add new species to the Life List. Job 1 is to not get killed by a Gator. I will try to post updates daily. Photo heavy. Too Bad Pete doesn’t love us anymore.

Ham Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 The 2:07 alarm seemed quite early, but I didn’t struggle with being groggy. Roads have very few other vehicles on them from 2:30 to 4:30. i did have a few moments of High Anxiety (for you Mel Brooks fans). I foolishly trusted Google maps as it routed me cross County to get to the airport. Over hill and down thru the hollers. I went over multiple low water crossings, but never off the blacktop. not my best decision ever, but I’m sitting in the plane waiting to depart so it all worked out.

Quillback Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 They had an article in the latest BassMaster magazine about fishing the canals. They caught some interesting fish, knifefish and a different kind of snakehead. Sounded like a lot of fun, with miles and miles of canals to fish.

Ham Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Dave got the Party started before I even made it to Florida, but I’ll let him post his own pics. I reached out to a You Tube guy I talk with (Keepin’ it Reel) and he gave me some spots to consider. We hit one of those up after Dave for me from the airport it went well. i got Lifer (and Flyfer ) Florida Bluegill Zebra Tilapia. I also got a nice Spotted Tilapia on artificial, but not fly (yet). Dave is whacking them, but I won’t steal his Thunder. Day One was a success! bfishn, BilletHead, Johnsfolly and 3 others 6 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Hawg Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Keep em coming. My nephew just caught a knifefish in the canal but I won’t litter your thread up. Those tilapia can get huge down there.. Johnsfolly and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
