Florida Fishing Report Goat Island, Hontoon Dead River

Well it sure been a long spell. Spent the last 3 weekends painting houseAttachment 203181
Made it out to the river this morning, headed to Hontoon Dead river and they been spraying weeds heavily in there and it stunk. Back out and around to Goat island. Saw this really cool Heron, assuming a young Blue, but it was white and grayAttachment 203182 Attachment 203183 sorry for crappy phone pics but all I had. Ended up catching a pile of shellcrackers, gills and warmouth. Kept 11 fer supper tomorrow. All caught on panfish magnets in less than 3' of water. Attachment 203184 Attachment 203185

Good job and nice looking dinner. If the heron was smaller than what you normally see and close to but not quite the colors you normally see it may have been a green heron. They're close but not quite the same, used to see em all the time.

Not a green heron or Louisiana heron. He was white and grey. You can barely pick him out in the pics but he is behind the cypress knees.
