You ever see or hear many turkeys on your adventures?
Yes sir. Florida is eat up with turkeys. We see them all the time. This past spring saw a monster gobbler strutting and calling. He had a harem and looked to be a busy boy. Every year I get lone females hanging out in the yard, brooding eggs nearby.

One day the schnauzer was barking and I went to see and a troop was on the other side of his fence. They were easing up on him. I called the boy to save him basically. They were gonna do him up.

Thanks again I caught some fish on your gifts.

Today was definitely a slow day but I got a few nice ones. Most were 11” or so and were given a reprieve. The new deep dish Colorado blades were a hit. The rod tips went jingle jingle jangle from the vibrations and the fish preferred them to the jigs with no blades. Made a few more jigs with them today and plan to get after them tomorrow. I want to catch fewer fish but bigger fish. The blades seem to entice nicer fish,
