Woody's goodies

Departing the west side @o'dark thirty revealed a temperature reading of 45* which is considered brisk/chilly/cold for Florida thin-skinners!:Rofl Factor in a 28 mph (non-console) 4 mile "skip-a-stone" boat ride, conjured up a thermos full of fresh, piping-hot German coffee, insulated coveralls/face shield to help usher me to the long-line trolling grounds.:highfiveAttachment 395972 Bright, wind favorable NORTHerlies(<10), cloud-free conditions would change to >bEASTerlies(+15's), so a technique change(single pole) was earmarked. Boat traffic was almost non-existent(5) on both the NDR/Woody boat ride which yielded a slight amount of tentativity but I also wanted to scope out/expand more fishing folder-fodder. Only three throwbacks total in today's cooler of 14 of decent size specks with about a 50/50 yield on both techniques. Better size fish(>14')were taken again while single-poling mostly w/minnow-bobber. Also scoped out Tick canal(2 fish)[big change since last fishing 8 years ago] and also Deleon Springs canal[1st time(0 fish)]. Both areas had only a handful of "ready to cast" spots that could be remedied by a hyacinth "modification" but I really didn't want to bother. The highlight trolling bait was a Kalin triple threat Scrub jig in Acid rain on a 1/16 oz head beetle-spin or Road runner(wanted the flash). Even fruitlessly tried an hour's worth of SLOW bobber/minnow trolling. Finished the day in NDR s/p on existing/new spots to cap off quite the variance from coveralls to shorts(warmed to mid 70's).:cheers2 Thanks for coming along-

I bet when they came up and saw what had them that they just died of fright. Scary stuff that mask. The good news is we will be back to regular old Florida soon enough. Glad to see someone is catching fish.

Probably thought I was Jason OR the undertaker!:Rofl Luckily, only used it for the ride over-

Good trip, worth the miles. Nice to have backup ideas when one gets blown out.

Spinners were the ticket a month ago, some good fish in the mix Doug, WTG!

What you are trying to do is shame/force me into thinking/believing the way you think/believe ! !
(Must reply with verbage or will be looked down on) .....

Well, sorry but I burnt out "years" ago on all the congratulation remarks to everybody ...... just got
to where it was exhausting = time and time again, over and over again, etc, etc ....
So I eventually settled on just a "thumbs up" ! ! ! That (to me) signifies a congratulations and job well done ! !
That 's all it needs to be, that's all I need from ya'll (and don't even need that) ......

So there..... Mr "WOKE" Hot Shot ........ ! ! !

Fortunately, I am WOKE enough to realize that shaming or forcing anyone out of their comfort zone accomplishes nothing but negativity and unnatural response.:twocents I was being respectfully honest/regarded with your "two-finger" effort vs. your "one- thumber"! Both are easily welcomed over the single-finger thingy!:Rofl Light-heartedness should easily be recognized/accepted by Mr. L-H himself!:highfive See you on the shrimp boat(only after announced PM notification!)nonono

Your two-finger bud-
