Fat Girls luv shiners

Swamp Guide

Caught a bunch of fat ones last Thurs. Largest was 8-0, also a 7-13, a 6-9, a 6-2 a 5-3 & several 4's. Three of them in one spot. I admit I was cheatin' w/shiners! I had been doing nothing but flippin' (and casting some toads) for the last year but decided to give my back a rest. All but one caught on Stradic 3000 w/10 lb braid. All released healthy, of course.

It was heavenly!...until after sunset when the engine wouldn't start cuz I ran down the batt running the livewell most of the day. My jumper was dead & I tried approx 15 times to pull start it. No luck...Took me 3.5 hrs to pole 2 miles back to the ramp in total darkness. (So much for giving my back a rest, huh?) Clear night, no moon but the star show was Awesome & the USAF launch of new GPS satellite was Spectacular.

All things considered it was well worth it for my best day ever bass fishing.

Aw, come on Cap'n, please don't force me to fib about where I caught 'em.

GREAT day of bassin'! Congrats! Got a' timer on that livewell? That is one reason I use the little battery powered air pumps. Two D cells will usually get me through 2-3 days of fishing.

Document those catches and sign up for "Trophy catch" on the FWC website. You could win some big money for releasing those above 8 pounds! Good catches!

Sucks about the poling back. Rough, at least you weren't battling low to negative tides in Flamingo.

Good work !! And for just a second there I thought that Stiffy was your fishing pole...yikes!!
