12/29/09 - fantastic fishing

[George Welcome]

12/29/2009: Returning with his dad Jim, Jimmy Mayhugh was really excited as he knew this was going to be a really good birthday trip for dad. Again as with the previous trips we opted to head west and fish the same location as the previous two trips. I had thought the previous trips had been cold but the 39 degrees proved to hand numbing this time. However, cold or not, the bass did not seem to mind as the day proved to be another outstanding foray of some of Florida's waters.

Jim with the first fish of the day which by the way came on the first cast of the day.

Dad followed up right after the first picture with his own contribution.

Jimmy got serious and landed this 8.5 pound gal as things started to warm up.

Again Jimmy turned in another catch for the day.

Less fish today but with the extreme cold of the AM combined with the wind we had a spectacular day of over 30 bass.

As Jimmy told me:

Hey George,

Just wanted to let you know my dad had probably the most memorable out of all his 72 birthdays! He definitely enjoyed himself.! Thanks again.

Some nice winter pigs!

Kinda makes me want to live in florida, but I dont think I could stand the heat in the summer.

Nice catches, Big Jim doesn't seem to mind the cold in the pics.  It took me until he was gone, but my favorite fishing was with my dad.

Heat in the summer is much better than Virginia Cold!!! I miss the desert (Arizona).

And that is an awesome day with the pops.  I hope I get to do that with mine.  God willing he makes it past this year.
