Evening Feed

I got out of work early so I ran an errand with my Queen and hooked up and went to my office. Cool temps, like mid sixties and a north wind with a bite. They were there and my lizard friends were working on their tans. Just a few pics before I run off to work. I tried to post last night but fell asleep in the chair. It was a good trip that left me smiling when I was done, fished from 3:30 til 5:30. I like these quick, unplanned trips. Love the colors, and the big crappie was 13 1/2.

Nice catches

Good pics. Awesome colors!!! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what color, eh. Great job Tim, thanks for sharing your story.

Certainly some vivid colors on them. Don't see colors like that up my way.

Very nice ! A fun two hours . Thanks for posting.

very nice

Beautiful bright colors! Thanks for sharing

Some incredibly beautiful colors, skeet. Mr “lizard” is a pretty big beast! Seeing them regular takes some time getting use to, I would suspect. Probably doesn’t hurt to pack some iron just in case….
Bob

nice catches and beautiful colors. thanks for the view. :ThumbsUp

Just love those spur-of-the-moment trips. Usually they turn out pretty good too. Congrats.

Nice.


Regards

Bob, that lizard was just over 5’ or so, but his bigger cousin that also lives back there is twice that size. Ive never had one be aggressive towards me, and have had some close up experiences. When they’re mating is when they rumble in the smaller waters sometimes and it’s awesome to hear. There’s something on YouTube about gator rain or something like that and it shows the water on their back jumping up and down while they rumble, pretty cool. I’ve water ski’d the river and fallen with one in sight and they never even went underwater. They’re lazy and want easy food. Most of the bad experiences come from people going where they shouldn’t , or getting too close and pressuring them. Now they’ll eat a dog in a heartbeat, that’s food. A small child would be the same thing. My wife says they have no soul and I don’t disagree with her. I know they’re there and respect their area but I’m not apprehensive about them.


Thanks for all the good replies folks, it sure was fun.

Correction, the video I spoke of is called “ Alligators showing off for mating season “ produced by the BBC. It’s worth a look.

nice , wish it was mid 60 here , its been cold and raining and not much fun outside lately ....congrats

lizards no matter the size only have a 3 way brain , they adhere to a simple way of life ....
food , mate or enemy ....
hard wired for survival for sure ....never trust a lizard ...:Rofl

I’m with ya Ketchn. I never trust any reptile. Like my wife says, they have no soul.

Missed this post some how. Talk about relaxing. It sure does look nice and peaceful and the colors on those crappie and that redbreast are stunning. Looked like a fun trip. I’m going to have to get on some fish soon myself.

Nice.

Awesome great colors thanks for sharing

All you gotta do is get here, we’ll figure out the rest.

The first is so tiny and pretty

Sophia, they don’t get very big. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one over 8”, but they carry an attitude and try and take your rod away from you. Welcome from Central Florida.
