Hot day, blue bird skies and a late start so after getting my butt kicked yesterday I opted for the shorter ride to the Everglades. Caught a bunch of small ones and fished for hours on some giants on beds......who says bed fishing is easy? One bed had a 3 lb male and a 5 or 6 lb female and another female that could have gone 8 or more....they could care less about me or anything I threw. 200 feet away there was another big female maybe 6 lbs plus that one would stare at my jig but would not commit. Going back Thursday with my Mom for a short day before flight out back to the cold. The big pond again tomorrow........
