Caught 6 today....During my Lunch Break

[BCline]

The weather was perfect in Deerfield Beach, FL today.  80°F, a slight wind out of the south and partly cloudy skies.  I went to Sailboat Lake at noon and started throwing a purple rocket craw but no action.  Switched to a 5" stick bait T-rigged with a 1/16 oz bullet weight and the bites started happening.  I ended the hour landing six and lost as many as I caught including these two Lake Monsters.  No trophies today although my personal best and the fish in my profile picture was caught in this lake.  These put me up to 160 bass for the year.  It was tough making myself go back to the office.

I’m sitting here looking at it snowing as I read this  I'd love to take a fishing vacation to Florida, not sure I’m ready to pick up and move though

I am in a short sleeve shirt and drinking water so that I will stay hydrated during my lunch hour.  I hope to have a tight line within the next 30 minutes.

Ok, I’m going to have to report you to the moderators

Only caught two today.  One little guy and one keeper right at a pound.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Forget the weather.  I'm impressed that you can fish during lunch.

That is why they call Florida the Fisherman's Paradise.  From where I work there are at least a dozen accessible banks that hold bass within a ten minute drive.  We catch a bunch of little ones but once in a while we find a quality fish or two.  The 7-4 fish on my profile picture was caught during my lunch hour with two of my colleagues standing a few yards away.  Oh and we have the Atlantic Ocean less than ten miles away.
