I woke up Sun morning kind of late thinking that it would be raining still, but I was pleasantly surprised to find blue skies and a text from Kevin (mklbuck) saying he was on the water. Well he wasn't too far away from my place and I already had everything ready to go so i decided to join him. I still needed to get the skunk off my kayak and with the saltwater devastation, freshwater seemed to be the way to go. After a short trip up river and a little portaging I arrived at a little brackish water pond where Kevin had been playing with schooling bass all morning. The action started up again soon after I arrived and we anchored up and started catching some nice bass. Oh yeah, I also took my hardcore fishing beagle... Everyone should have one = )
I got the skunk off with this little fat guy...
Then Kevin immediately showed me up with this bigger one...
And, finally I triumphed and caught the largest fish for the day... Nice little 5 pounder...
Action slowed down around noon and we called it a day. Gorgeous day and a thanks to Kev for finding a great spot.

They were schooling up on white bait and we were catching them on crystal minnow type lures,bluebill wrote:A nice report and photos.
What type of lures were they hitting?
The bass here in Cape Coral are just not biting since the freeze.
