I am now convinced that we are meant to fish on Friday afternoons
(maybe all afternoons - I just don't have the supporting evidence yet) instead of work. I live in central Florida and spent the late afternoon on a local lake running BassPro's red Stik-O through the lilly pads and shallows. I don't know if it was the the little front that blew through in the middle of the day, or the slight change in temps, or because it was late in the day, or just what factors are to credit, but I had some great bass fishing. In about an hour and a half I had 18 fish on and boated 14. Four were lost in the pads and grass. Nothing over 2.5 lbs but a heck of a lot of fun. I just got a used bass boat and started fishing fresh water in Florida a couple of weeks ago so this was a real treat. Thought I'd share the experience. If nothing else it may be the motivator for other to get out there again soon. As for me -- I will be out at dawn! Jim |

Way to go. I have often thought I should be out fishing instead of
working. I am supposed to start a new job next week. It is located on the Wisconsin River. Jeese, I hope they don't mind me fishing from the bank.
