Pic's from my Florida vacation
« on: May 12, 2014, 09:46:35 AM »
I just got back from Florida so I thought I'd share some pics. I went bass fishing on Lake Toho which is part of the Kissimmee chain. It is a famous place for big bass. I didn't catch any lunkers but I got 6 up to 5 1/2 lbs. Next up was a trip to Mosquito Lagoon near Cape Canaveral. My sister and I caught Redfish, Sea Trout and she got a small Jack Creval. The sunset pic is from Siesta Key by Sarasota. It was a great trip with sun and mid 80's temps all week. The waterfall was at our hotel pool. We had a few turkeys hanging around our hotel, I will post those pics in the turkey hunting area.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Nice pics! I'd like to try that redfish thing someday. Sounds like they are a hard fighting fish. Florida bass would be a blast too!
Fish hard, hunt harder!

Redfish fish fight real hard! I was impressed. Plus they are great to eat, we kept 2 for the grill. The Jacks, or yellow tails, fight even harder than the reds. They are considered the hardest fighting fish pound for pound by the guides down there. Not to good to eat I guess.
