Shane Procell Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Fishing in the Everglades has beed hit and miss lately with high and cold water flowing. I visited a local preserve a few days ago and found the topwater bite to be good. Even with cooler water temps the bass were chaseing down the frog and had a couple of outright mega hits. Within 25 minutes i had 3 fish over 5#'s. I finished the 2 hour trip with 6 bass all on top and wearing shorts. The funny thing is I went back dwo days later and 15 degrees cooler and was luck to get a couple dinks. Quote

Super User Goose52 Posted January 22, 2012 Super User Posted January 22, 2012 I like those dark colored bass - great fish! I like the background in the photo as well. The Glades were my home waters in the 1960s - reminds me of the old days... Quote
