DeeDee and I have been enjoying the Sping down at Miccosukee since we have not been able to make it as far as the coast and wanted to do a Full Moon trip. Well the trip was a blast as we fished within eyesight of my longtime best bud and other fishing partner "Breeze". We didn't tear'em up but brought home a nice mess to clean and give to retired lady friend of ours that has been whating some fresh fish..On the way home we visited the local Waffle House with Breeze to exchange fish stories and enjoy good company....Sometimes you have to realize that the "Good ol'Days" are now as we completed what we deem the "Miccosukee Slam" (Fli Bream, Speck, and Bluegill). Here are a couple of pictures I wanted to share with you caught by my lovely Bride....On Ultralight Tackle !!!!! What a Blast !!!

Sorry, I aborted the mission. I did go last nite, sunday eve. Fished about 2.5 hrs. in gaterhole. Got one big tittie flier, the rest I kept were hand sized fliers, warmouth, specs. No pics. all caught on the "miccosukkee Jig". Tried crickets but only one little bluegill.
Storm looked to be brewing and I left them biting. Kept 10

Good trip, Welby. Mrs. Welby looked happy. Ya just gotta love catching big bream, I took my oldest granddaughter Sat. evening to the pond behind the house and she caught 2 big bream, 2 shellcrakers and a 1 lb. bass. More fun watching her catch 'em than if I'd caught them.
I never did make it out friday night....the first thing my wife did when i walked in the door was handed me my daughter and said 'tag your it'. Then we went to the inlaws for the rest of the weekend....so no fishin for me.
i did get to go shrimpin in Tampa Bay though over the weekend.
