Tampa Pictures - California Fishing

Wahoo! · 04-18-2006, 07:44 PM

Hey guys, here's some pics from some spots in Tampa that I'm going to be fishing. I spent a little time Sunday snook fishing and I did catch 1 short. I also fished the river tonight and hooked a huge bowfin, a gar, and something else I never saw. All the fish broke off unfortunately since I was using 10# line and tossing flukes into some HEAVY cover. Anyway, I'm going back out tomorrow with heavier line and hopefully I'll have some fish pics to show!

10# test!!!!! LOL you are in FL! Awesome pics, Jon.

I think I saw a Chupacabra in one of those pics. Better watch your back!

Definately look like there are gators swimming around there! Run in a zig-zag if one gets too close. Have fun!

If he had a polarizer on his lens we could view it much better....

Very nice pics there Jon. I was LMAO when we were on the phone and you got slammed by that big fish. I could hear the plashing noise in the BG. Have fun, enjoy yourself and have a safe flight back to Cali.

One time, we were over by Kissimmee renting an airboat, looking for alligators...I pointed to the shoreline and said something like "that spot by the log over there would be a good place for an alligator" and my friend said "you mean like the alligator that's next to the log"...LOL, I'm not known for my eyesight. That made my friend's trip, because that was his goal, to see an alligator, even if it was only about a foot and a half long.

I'm jealous...catch some fish for us
