My daughters boyfriend is home on leave in the Army, and he wanted to do some fishing before going back to Ft. Sill, Ok. Of course I obliged! He leaves on the 2nd, and because of the wacky weather, I deliberately waited until today...for the warm weather. The water was still "feet-numbingly" cold.
On top of the cold water, the water is still way low but we managed to have a FUN day! He caught 5 and I caught 6. All were GORGEOUS BASS. Here are pics of the best...
I started the day with a beautiful kicker...WOW!
Then another fat girl...
Then Ronnie started catching bass on the worms.
Ronnies biggest
Ronnie was getting the feel for the worm bite.
I finally caught one with a worm.
My secret weapon was a lure I've owned since college...the same age as Ronnie, 19 years old. It was catching the bigger bass today. I should have fished this earlier. Just look how beautiful this bass is. That is Peace River quality!
We were blessed with a great New Years Day.

Nice fish. Great photos. Looks like you had a great time! Where did you launch? In addition to plastic worms, what else did you catch them on?

It was all due to the Tailin' Toads.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley

Hey Pip, Hows the General? The bass have been fat down in Lettuce Lake but scattered by lots of airboat traffic.
Re: Peace River - New Years Day 2013
Hi Henry, last I heard The General is up in NC, seminary school, I think. I am now site admin for floridariverfishing.net now...we'd love to see you back. I've made some changes to the board.

Gibby we floated from Payne's Creek State Park to Wauchula. Besides worms I was using a small Rapala.
First time using the Tailin' Toad gloves and love them! The feel so good...
