Merry Christmas to all of you at Bass Resource,
The Army Corp of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management have decide to do a water study in one of my favorite fishing areas in the everglades. The "test project" is part of the Florida Everglades Restoration Project which will eventually remove many of the levees in the everglades and restore the natural water flow in the everglades. Since I first learned of the "area closures" that will affect me, I have spent many days on the water looking and exploring for alternate fishing areas in the everglades. Now with the water droping the bite is picking back up.
I recently donated a bass trip to my church and wouldn't you know that the guy that won was a Australian who loves fishing. The trip started slow with heavy fog and twenty or so tiny bass in a area that I had never fished. I had my fill of that and moved to another canal a few miles away. It was game on all day. Most of the fish were chunky two to two and a half pounders, but it was constant. My guest was wrecking them on the Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Worm and I was doing my damage on a BooYah 3/8 spinner bait.
We were out all day and never saw another person...priceless!
