Doug and I fished the back of Kings Bay on a quick trip. Went down to swap presents and pick up my Mom. Somehow she said it was cold. Hmmm, I thought Ohio was cold?
Anyways, we put in and fished the back end of Kings Bay. We shared the waters with about a million manatees.
Here is one that followed our boat as we eased around. I'm glad he didn't finally decide we were a female manatee.
We fished a big bubbling spring near the back end of the bay and I caught this nice multi spotted redfish on a white shrimp gulp.
When Doug downloaded the picture he started laughing. He asked me "do you think people will believe you are fishing in Florda?". Looking at the background, I think most will know.
His part of Florida is very different than where we live. As you can see, he lives in the big $$$ area.
I caught another red off the same dock as we came back a couple of hours later. I also broke one off on that dock.
We fished our way back to the boat ramp, and Doug was whimpering about not getting a bite.
He said "one more cast" as we eased up to the ramp. With a "there he is", we finished the day with this nice bass. Consequently, we had a good 15 minute ride back to his house. No whining!
It was a beautiful afternoon, shared by manatees, manatee watchers, birds and tons of lady fish.
