Blue Cypress Lake Florida Report 03-21-10

Date: 03-21-10

Weather:  Sunny later turning to Thunder showers

Water Calrity and Color: Tea

Temp: 72

Water Temp:  66

Wind: se 20

Seeing that the lake is about 70 miles from the house we had to leave pretty early.  I had never fished this lake before but had completed some research prior to heading out so I was prepared or at least I thought i was.  I wanted to fish the west side of the lake but with the wind howling that was not an option.  We headed to the south side of the lake and pretty much spent the day down there.  We fish cypress stands, grass, liliy pads etc....The fish were simply not cooperating.  I did get a couple in the boat but they were dinks.  The wifes uncle got a few a well but were tiny as well.  He did get a nice Crappie that we released.  I suspect that the front that was coming through turned the fish off but who knows.

I can say that the lake is pretty majestic..and the opspreys nesting in the cypress stands may for an interesting day of teradactyles dive bombing the boat if we got too close.  I should have taken a bunch of pics...Next time I suppose...

Not the best day but still better than work.....

Until Next Time Keep the Lines Tight

Fishing Report

I have a couple of trips to report.  I was on vacation and my buddy came down from MA to do some fishing....

I took a couple of pics of him catching a few....

As you can see one day was a chilly 60 degrees in FL and the other was pretty warm.  During each trip we put over 20 bass in the boat.  Nothing huge maybe 4 but it was fun.  I am glad by buddy had a good time.

All was not great though....My buddy Gary hooked into a bass of about 11-13 pounds and lost it...He seems to do this a lot...I guess he is not used to florida fishing....

We also went out to Garcia Resevoir and only put one fish in the boat...Was right after a cold front....Lost of guys coming up empty on tourney day...At least we got one.....

Almost New Again

OK as you know my boat was looking old and ratty.  I was to the point were I simply wanted to get rid of the boat.  So instead I decided to revamp and redo......

New Carpet

New Trolling Motor (Motor Guide 54 lbs of thrust)

New Seats across the middle..

I am extremely satisfied  in the workmanship if the folks who did the carpet....(Floor Experts in Stuart Florida)

Can't wait to get ou on the water....
