Angling the backwaters of urban canals, ponds and ditches found all across Florida but for our initial concerns, angling the backyards of North Port Fl.,east of HWY 41. Where there are hundreds of virgin miles of unchallenged waters, filled with Lunker Bass, panfishes and some odd surprises. "FISH ON!"

Topwater Euphoria!
Pulling into the boat ramp to unload the ‘Snapper’, our 16 foot tandem 1978 Mohawk canoe, there was an angler on the dock casting one of the larger Zebco casting reels in search of fish. I ask him what he was targeting and he replied fish, anything that will bite my hook. I then went onto explain that by targeting a particular species, he could improve his chances on bring home the bacon. He then exclaimed, his boat was in the shop, and he had some time on his hands, so he thought he would just go drown some hardware. Ed, by this time was giving me looks, as he knows I am never for a loss of words and if we were to catch some fish ourselves, we had to go! As we powered up, our 30 pound thrust Motor Guide Trolling motor, the gentleman noticed we had topwater lures on all of our rods. He blurted out,” I see you guys are going to use topwater gear, is this the best time too you them?” I quickly stated in an expanding voice, as we moved further to farther down the canal, to check out The Online Fisherman to get more for his money for free and just beyond hearing distance I screamed, “Anytime is the right time in catching topwater bass, it is topwater euphoria.” Ed exclaimed to ask, “We goanna talk or fish?” Enough said! Want the whole story, plus maybe a Line class Florida Record?
