Big-O Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Sorry I've been away folks but it's not because I was fishing ALL the time, I was running and doing my chores After the Classic, I headed to Florida and fished with a good friend Ray Van Horn to test one of my new baits on the inshore fish... It was a blast as we caught Reds Snook, Trout and Bass on it over a three day period.Soon as I returned, Shane J flew in from New Hampshire to catch me on the water... Good thing he did too cause I needed help getting in the boat... Getting too old for this We had some extreme weather with cold and wind, and it was so bad that I speared a wave in my 21ft Skeeter I-Class. Shane took it right on the chin and smiled with the boat FULL of water It broke the trolling motor mount and a rod strap, plus it drowned my I Phone... He said that was his FIRST and I said "How'd you like it We never got completely dry or warm but we were able to find a few Studdettes and the one he caught here trashed a Smokin Rooster in 8ft water on a brushy timberline.Between scheduled events, I rarely get to plan my fun fishing anymore so I'll take it when I can, LOL. Hope some of you Northern friends are seeing signs of a Spring thaw and hope to see some of you at the Roadtrip! Now I'm going FUN Fishing again... WOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 3 Quote
shimmy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Great fish Shane! Man, you have a great hit rate whenever you head down there! Awesome fish, while Big-O complained about the cold, i bet you felt like it was a beautiful hot spring morning in New Hampshire 1 Quote

Shane Procell Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 That's what I'am talking about! Great fish Shane. 1 Quote
Super User Shane J Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah, a good fish can warm you right up! Funny how that happens! He is wrong about one thing, though. I had switched to a Bug when he wasn't looking! Love those things! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 Beautiful bass, Shane! Spawn is just around the corner here in the Hampton Roads area! Put your iPhone in a Lifeproof case and a Lifeproof Life jacket. No worries, no water, no sinking! Let's have a mid-Atlantic visit one of these days, Big-O! We've got some 12 pounders in our reservoirs, and I could use your help/expertise finding them. Heck, I'll even let you take a ride in the ol kayak, LOL. Good for the 'ol bones. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 Good going, that is a nice bass! 1 Quote
Super User Shane J Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 Funny you should mention that, Darren. I had just purchased the Life Proof case for my iPhone 5 days before heading down there. Big O had his in one of those Otterboxes, and mine was fine, his got swamped. After I checked mine, I actually threw it back in the compartment that was half full of water. Best investment for a phone ever! Still gotta get the float thing for it, though. Quote
