2025 - TRIP SUMMARIES AND PHOTOS

Trip Date: 7/7/25

I took the boat over to Fort Maitland Park to get on the water and conduct some systems checks with the motor, the trolling motor, the Power Pole, the bilge pump, and the electronics.  After completing all the checks, it was time to do some fishing.

This bass broke some records this year!  Not only was he the smallest fish I caught this year, but he was also the largest fish I caught this year!  This feisty little guy hit the plug as soon as it hit the water.  He tugged a little as he was being reeled in, and gave a fight worthy of his size.  Once I took his picture, I returned him to the water, and he swam away to go and wait for his next predatory strike. 

The view going through the canals between the lakes is very peaceful and relaxing.  The giant frog, the elephant, and the large faucet waterfall were a sight to see.  The water and the wind were both calm, but after several hours, the sun started to get hot, so it was time to load and head for home.
