Saturday 1/15/11 Indian River Lagoon

Drove out to the MINWR (Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge) and put in down a tiny dirt road near Haulover Canal.

I spent most of the day having only landed one small trout. I was fine with that, it was just nice to be outside. It was a nice day, about 65 degrees. The wind was about 10mph NNE for most of the day. I saw an opening in the trees and went over to investigate. Turns out it was a little campsite with a picnic table, a nice view, and a stuffed animal in the tree that nearly scared the crap out of me.

 I saw some fish jumping north of where I originally had put in so I paddled up to throw a line at them. Then Wham! Fish on, finally. I could tell this was no dink trout. I got it to the boat and then I immediatley paddled over to the shore, so I wouldn't drift past the spot. Took a picture, released it and cast again. Wham another fish. This went on for about 45 mins I think I must have caught 7-8 trout in that one spot. I was right in front of two guys that were too busy talking to realize that was right around the bushes catching all their fish. I then went a little farther up the shore line, 2 more. Another 20yds another trout. Then the canal ended. It was time to pack it in I had to get home to go watch the playoffs over at a friends house. I was already goning to be late.



Fish I caught in 2010

I made a little video of the fish I caught in 2010. Hopefully more to come.



Sunday 1/2/11 Moss Park

It was to windy to go to the coast so I just went down the road to Moss Park. It was cloudy but still a nice day to be on the water.

Went through the canal to Lake Hart.

Cruised down small opening I saw.



I saw a bunch of birds so I decided to sneak up and take some pictures.



Upon further inspection I realized that the ducks I was sneaking up on were plastic fake ducks.....errrr.



The wind picked up some more so I headed back.

Saturday 1/1/11

I went out to southend of Mosquito Lagoon. Wind was blowing out of the south hard I would say 15-18mph.Too shallow to hold any fish. Left there and went up to WESG ramp. On my way up Biolab rd I decieded to count how many gators I could see I got up to 15. There were damn tourist everywhere. Nothing worse than being stuck behind a tourist on a dirt road water on both sides of you and your trying to get around them to get to the next fishing spot. Got to WESG and got blown around from Island to Island.



I don't know how he got mud on his back
