Sat on my sunglasses and had to pick up a new pair on the way out of town, so I got a later start. Good thing they were only Wallyworld specs. Put the canoe in at the headwaters and fished from 8:45 am - 1:00. Landed six bass and four bream. Lost several others in the weeds on retrieve. Released all fish. Seems like the bass in there are getting bigger! Biggest for the day was a 14"er. All fish were caught between the headwaters and Big Blue on a floating Rapala. I learned recently that the bass in there are Suwanee Bass, a different and local species endemic to the Suwanee River basin. This species of bass tend to be smaller in size but feisty. The weeds in there seem to be getting better (not as choked as years past) and the Limpkin population is really doing well. Snail eggs were all over the place and you could hear the crazy Limpkin calls all morning.
Those are good weeds to flip a tube or jig into. Next time you go throw a horney toad in the middle on a flippin stick with some strong line. That's were the bigguns are.
