Man I Would Hate To Be On Any Florida Lake Today.

Those fish are buckled down.

Of course someone could hit the mother load flipping.

Tomorrow will be worse.

The good news is they should be really hungry by the time I get to the Big O

Rob, i was on the lake all day yesterday. we had 6 bites and caught 4 fish. the water was 57 degrees when we put in at 9am. all of our bites came when the water reached 65 degrees. i did learn something new, you can take the inside trail from the seven mile ditch all the way down to cochranes. our biggest fish was 3 pounds.

Bocabasser are you talking about going thru Moonshine

yes sir

I pretty much only fish canals in and around Delray, the bite has been very good with fish up to about 8#. The last few days the bite has considerable slowed down, only 4 Sat and 2 Sunday, in about 2 hour outings and nothing with any size. I probably had more short strikes the last 2 days than I've had in 6 months, fish are not too aggressive.

Oh yeah, do you know about the north trail, at this level you can run from Okee Tanti to Clewiston staying inside pretty much the whole trip. Keep in mind thats at this level.

How did the inside of moonshine look, did it open up or is it still all clogged up?

I went to Lox yesterday and it was pretty much skunk-city. Planning to go again Wednesday and the Lake Thursday. Hopefully with this warm up, the bite will get better. I think a little 5 degree front is coming thru late Wednesday. Florida fishing this time of year.

ok guys, it''s educate FishinDaddy time.

On Google maps, coming out of More Haven is a trail headed almost due north towards Monkey Box/Dynamite Pass. Is that open and passable?

Also I keep hearing "7 mile ditch" and don't know where that is. I just got a fishing hot spots map and don't see it.

If I'm not mistaken I believe what you mention is seven mile ditch. I ran through there a month aga and water level was six foot in the middle. Id stay close to the middle as I believe. I saw some boulders on the sides a couple times. I would think it should be ok to go through to the box. Take a left off the ramp and it should be the small canal on your right just past the locks near the campground opposite side of the canal.

I'm not sure as the one I'm referring to I thought was a more easterly path.

Gar tracker I've run that trail a few times

fishindaddy contact me I'll be on the lake a few days this week North end and West side

[salmicropterus]

that canal running north from Moorhaven and the 7 mile ditch are one and the same. It should be runnable with no problem but I would agree to stay to the middle. Lake is 15.11 and that ditch is pretty runable down to 13, maybe even lower.

David,

I was at Lox yesterday afternoon from about 2:00 - 5:00. Did a little scouting trip for my trip this morning with my son. We did just ok this morning...found one area that had a little bit of a moving bait bite...my son was able to catch two bass. When the bluebird skies came out, that was done, though. Caught about a dozen each day...mostly flipping.
