Beginner's luck the last couple of days - not success this evening. Water was a little choppy. I got a lot of "nibbles" -no takers.

When speaking of fishing, it is never beginners luck. It is always talent and the fish are always THIS BIG. And the one that got away is always bigger.

Glad you are having fun. That is what it is all about.

OK-
Getting 3-4 catches every evening. Skipped tonights Rays' game and listened on the radio, watching the sun go down, and caught a variety of sizes (bass). Last one was 21 inches long - called it a night after that one. Getting there at the right time of day when the lake isn't so hot and using the right lure seems to be the key to success. Wish I had my camera for that last catch.

OMG! You are becoming a true fisherman. Passing on a Ray's game for a bass instead.

I was just too tired to drive over the Skyway for the game - listened on the radio while fishing. Game was over after 10:30 pm.....with the drive home ----too late for me. Besides, picked up tickets for the NYY and Boston series so I'll be getting my fill of Rays games (and the drive to and from the stadium) over the next several weeks.

Honestly? A nice summer night in FL doing something enjoyable (in your case fishing) WHILE listening to the game sounds like heaven!
