Thread: SJR candy store is

what I found yesterday...so, pull up your comfy chair-this should take far less time than gettin' your COVID-19 relief check,LOL Logged in yet another SJR marathon experience on St. Patty's Day and I was truly gifted a "green" day that can only be yielded through incentive, durability, flexibility and one's power of observation and of course luck. Besides the vast array of species brought to net, Mom Nature and coincidence had major roles in the trip. While fishing one of my favored docks around noonish, I happened to pleasantly meet Peggy and Danny(owners from Broken Arrow, OK/Sanford,FL). While Danny casted out(top-water frog) and I casted in(mini-jigs), we exchanged personal info./stories for nearly 1 1/2 hours like we had been acquaintances for years! An avid deer, quail, turkey hunter, they fly home to OK today to take care of his flourishing real estate appraisal business only to return in a few days(Mar.21) to pursue the long-beard Osceolas sub-species. After easily giving up some specks/hand-tied minis to Dan, we agreed that future boat-time together was guaranteed. But before reluctantly leaving good company/fishing/SHADE, he invited into his Mancave to proffer his 3 decade ago trophy wall mount! A 12' Gator that was euthanized right where I was fishing! While I headed back to the ramp, not actually wanting it to end, I made numerous productive stops along the way. Not 20 yards from my Mom Nature "sneaky cat" pic from 2 weeks ago, she gave me Danny's next target- TURKEYS Also on yesterday's OMG list, I found miscast lures(easily reached), a bobber(initially thought it was a DIY invention until Googling, lol), a partially decayed 6' snake(ominous looking). You see with Florida critters that are quite numerous, you better keep a 3rd eye on duty. Like they say, pics are worth a thousand words, enjoy!
