Well , due to remodeling my new house and hunting season I've been a little landlocked. Other than some bass club tournaments.
Alex from Ga. asked me to go on the river and fish bass. Seeing as I had just completed (other than paint touch up and two appliance) my year long remodel. YES... I needed to fish.
Launched at ramp near 200 bridge . Water is pretty high and over the dock there. Ran up river and seen a big wild hog on the bank while running. Nice 160-200lb'er . Ran up to cowhead flats and started fishing a canal looking for warm water. Bass are staging looking to bed and Alex got a 3.9 pretty quick on 6lb test with a 4" worm.
He got another a little way in and also this giant..
Water was 58 and fishing was slow but we never seen another boat and the weather was nice. I caught some bluegill and stuff on my ultralight and a beetle spin. We moved to a spring and I caught a couple decent fish..
And some not too decent...
Alex ended the trip with a good one so back to the ramp.
Good outing and fun fishing. Thanks for the ride Alex !

The Withlacoochee is a beautiful river. But don't tell anybody.
Getting the "pickle" bug lately, may head over to Kenwood in the morning and toss some shiners.

Cody Lost one monster. I didn't catch squat.
Good morning with my buddy and my boys.
(Sorry to derail, you guys made me do it)

Them kind of bass are good to eat out of the river.
Been itching to try some of the smaller Rivers up that way.
