Sorry to take so long gettin back to every one.
813- You my friend are the walking encyclopedia of Florida Lakes. I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share. If i have any luck at all Sunday you will be the first to know.

Marvin- Been keepin my eye on the Walk in Water reports. It'll prolly be next on my list. I can fish Sundays and mondays and plan on hittin the lakes that are further from from home on Sundays and hittin Aurburndale lakes (julianna, Mattie, Tennessee and Agnes) on Monday morns. I remember well 40 yrs ago going to walk in Water, tiger, Rosalie with my Dad. He was a Wait to the last minute kind kind of guy.
Hook the boat up after dark friday night. Check the lights. One not working. Replug pigtail, still not working. CUSS!!! Kick the offending light...still not working Cuss!!!!! break out test light and check. Cuss some more!! Re-wire trlr till midnite. Still not working. You should have heard this cussing fit. Replace light bulb. JOILA!!!!!
Up @ 4 am. Stop @ Greasy Spoon @5:30 for the necessary BIG breakfast. At lake @ crack of dawn to launch boat. Boat launched just as you can start to see. Then ensues the battle with 18 horse Johnson that makes the battle with the trlr lights pale in comparison. Cussing time and volume doubled. Dont know if you guys ever witnessed such lunacy.....but for me they are SWEET memories.

Pescador, Sorry i have not replied to your pm yet. work has been hectic. It would be my pleasure to fish the local lakes with you. In an earlier pm think you said you attend church on Sundays. I respect that sir. and that leaves Monday morns for me. Lets get together soon!!! And dont worry.....I dont know any of these new techniques either!!!! When i was last fishing regular (again, a long time ago) You fished with your nose. When fish are bedding (spawning) there is a distinctive smell in the air. Literally.
Again...lets hook up soon.
