I finally got in some fishing this year. On the 17th I flew down to Daytona to work on the safety crew for the motorcycle races. Never had a chance to fish Lake Lloyd though. Then drove down to West Palm Beach with the now ex-fiancee to do some scuba diving. The first day down there I had some time to go fishing. I checked out the lake at Okeeheelee Park but quickly decided bank fishing would be tool difficult. I think it would be great with a kayak though. So I headed to a nearby canal. I got a gar to take my senko. It unhooked itself while I was dragging it up the steep bank. I spotted one snakehead which quickly spooked. Most of the fish spooked easily. I did catch one LMB that was about 15" and some smaller ones.
I didn't think the diving was all that good, at least compared to Roatan. I did see a nurse shark up close and a goliath grouper in the distance. The ex got a picture of a hammerhead.
On the way back we stopped in Emporia to visit her friends and spend a few nights there. Saturday I rode my bicycle a few blocks to the Meherrin River. There was no fish activity in town so I found my way to the dam to the west of I95. Eventually I was able to get a LMB to take a baby rage tail craw. It unhooked itself too. That one was in the 14" range. I caught two more of the same size using a mini crankbait.
I foresee more fishing this year than the past two without the GF/fiancee. With my job now being not far from Fletcher's I intend to go straight there after work when the tides are favorable.

Glad you got out. Fishing around WPB is incredible, salt and fresh.
