A Fishing Lure
Just something funny I found :)
A couple of young boys were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track. All of a sudden, the Game Warden jumped out of the bushes.
Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell. The Game Warden was hot on his heels.
After about a half mile, the young man stopped and stooped over with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath, so the Game Warden finally caught up to him.
"Let's see yer fishin' license, Boy!" the Warden gasped.
With that, the boy pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license.
"Well, son," said the Game Warden. "You must be about as dumb as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!"
"Yes, sir," replied the young guy. "But my friend back there, well, he don't have one."

Today seemed to be a great day for fishing, although I wasn't out on a boat where i wanted to be.. :(
During these predictable, rainy Florida summer days we have a natural tendency to want to stay indoors. When in reality we should be getting out and taking advantage of the cooler weather and low pressure systems. What these rainy days are really doing is giving us more prime fishing time! See, we get the early morning hours before the heat is unbearable, then a lunch break and voila at 3:00pm the clouds move in and the heat dies down. Time for round two, and the evening bite is the one I always like!
For anyone wondering about when to fish. I say it's always a good time to fish!! but if some scientific research and a chart will make you feel better then go check out (http://www.outdoorlife.com/weather/fishing) They have a chart based on the previous ten or so years of fishermen feedback. So if you need someone to tell you when is a good time to fish theres a start. Good luck out there and even if every fishing chart in the world says its a bad time to go fishing, I'd still go. Theres always a chance. I've caught some of my nicest bass on days when nothing was biting. You just never know where and when that lunker is going to alialate that lure on the end of your line!! So be sure to be there when he's ready!!
I am more than interested to hear any ones feedback, input or advice on what to include in my posts and I will do all I can to improve upon. I would love for people to share their experiences and photos of their latest florida fishing trips.
Thanks for reading my work in progress and remember to always be safe and if fishing during the summer showers always be cautious of lightning, rises in water level and debris floating down rivers.
Happy Angling!!!!

Tallahassee has some great bass fishin', although summer heat can make daytime fishing more of a chore than a recreational activity. So to counter act that I reccomend finhing the wee hours of the mornings and the late evenings or even nights. Yes nights I have caught some nice bass at midnight fishing the shallows with dark soft plastics of att things.
Top Baits: Crankbaits, Jigs and plastic worms.
Fish shallow in the mornings and evenings and move deeper as the sun rises. "Deep" depends on the overall depth of the lake you are fishing. In some lakes you may need to go as deep as 60 feet while others seldom hold fish below 35 feet. Largemouth's often feed at night during the hot summer months.
In these unpredictable Florida summer months it's best to just be prepared and have your suntan lotion and your umbrella readily available. Watch all weather reports and be safe as possible at all times!
And as always please make sure to comply with all current FWC guidelines and regulations!!

Ochlockonee river
Fishin' for red-bellies and bluegill should be excellent. Your best bet is with a cane pole or bream buster using live wigglers or crickets. Try fishing around fallen trees or brush piles for the best results.
Catfish of decent size and numbers are plentiful near the dam as well as the area near Pine Creek. I like cat fishing with earth worms and a medium size circle hook but you can also use stink bait, livers and cut baits.
Bass tend to hold to cooler water this time of year so pay more attention to steep drop offs (shelfs) and around any structure that could provide shade or shelter from current.
Always be careful on the river. Low water conditions expose more stumps and log jams, which pose problems for navigation.

Sorry for the extreme delay, I'm back up an' runnin' now!
Lake Talquin reservoir
Crappie have had some pretty good catches for the temp to be so hot! They're being caught in 10 - 12 feet of water in the early mornin'. Most reports are coming from Rocky Comfort creek. Best colors to stick with are bubblegum, Acid Rain and blue/black chart. Litewire hooks..orange, red and white.
Limits of bream and shellcrackers are still being caught all over the lake. Best bait red worms and green worms.
Bass- No Reports at this time.
Catfish - Lots of catfish still being caught with stink bait.
Lake water level is good.
Crappie season is right around the corner so get your boats an' rods and reels ready!
Safe fishing and remember to always make sure to comply with all current FWC regulations!
