Thread: o sole mio may easily

be recognized as an old, famous Italian song that gained Pavarotti a 1980 Grammy award. It references a beautiful sunrise of which we Florida anglers are incredibly blessed with year round. My choice of this title reflects additionally to my preferred angling technique = Solo, light-rod, artificials only(homemade) casting. Yesterday's post-spawn, low 80's water temp., coupled with low-water levels/mid-upper 80 air temps., set the FUN bar...a little higher. Still using my 4 1/2' Lew's Wally Marshall with 1/32 - 1/64 oz jigs(home made and Bobby Garland), I thoroughly enjoyed the day of pitchin' jigs. A few studs(>14.5") got checked off the 'Most Wanted' list, but eaters to-be-shared were the norm of the day. Observed an unidentified catfish munching down @the piling buffet! Lost a few(2 Orca line snappers)...released a few, kept a few...all realized with-one cast/one rod/artificial only ultra-light tackle.
