My son and I spent two days in Ft. Lauderdale fishing the Big O, the Glades and the canals. He paid for the Guides, Air fare and food and I used my points for hotel and car rental. We had a good time and of course I enjoyed being with my son doing something we both love.
A cold front came in to Florida 5-days before we got there and continued through our trip. Florida fish are accustomed to waters well over 70 degrees and with water temps in the 60's and steady wind out of the North at 20-25 it wasn't the Florida dream trip people dream of but we enjoyed it and caught good fish on live golden shiners. Artificial bait was ignored by all species.
We caught numerous 4# and 5# bass, four 6# and these nice fat 7# ladies. We caught some Peacock on the Canals and a few bass in the Glades but no size to speak of.
Special thanks to our Guide, Brett Isaacson! He's a great guy, great sense of humor and knows his fishing! Thanks, Brett!
Floridians were freezing but we both enjoyed the warm afternoons and we both have burnt feet (sandals), faces and arms. We had some great food while there and enjoyed the time together. Thanks, son!
Of course, my son is always running his businesses!
