Saturday 5/23/15, 7:00-noon, partly sunny, wind 10-12 east, water clear, w/t 86*, water levels steady.
Picked up Dave (Canesfan), and we ran out west of the river to MM39 on Alligator Alley. This section of the Alley has some of the cleanest water along the 50 mile canal system. We ran from the ramps to the dead end and fished back to the west. We both struggled for the first 20 minutes, trying to find something they wanted to bite. I went to a jig head and a wacky trick worm that drew attention deep in the canal. Dave threw a Okeechobee stick-o catching a nice three pounder along the edge of the canal. The bite picked up and except for a few slow spots the bite was pretty steady.
We finished the day with conservatively 50 bass and a big mudfish. The gar bite was a pain although all they did was tear up the baits and steal terminal tackle. We fished today with small and big jigs, stick-os, flukes, trick worms, wacky worms, centipedes, swim baits, and ragin craws. Bigger fish were caught on stick-os and wacky rigged trick worm jigs deep..
Is was another fun day on the alley, with lots of action, and good company.
