    I was there a week ago today before that cold front moved in. Water temp back in the canals was low 60’s and the fishing was very good. I’ll actually have a video uploaded to YouTube about it on Wednesday.

    Water was 67.2 today. Some are on beds. Caught a couple fat girls, my partner had 2 break off. One was a really nice one I almost had it for him and the line snapped she was pushing 5.5 maybe more. The other break off —- he fought it for maybe 2 min. We never saw it—- could have been a big cat, another guy watching said the DNR had put Pike in—-that is the first I heard that.

    I heard the same thing about Pike while I was there last week.
