I'm just sitting here watching the snow melt knowing I'll be fishing the big pond (Atlantic) three weeks from today out of St. Augustine. Didn't even get her out on the water last year so she's up for sale in a few weeks after owning her 25+ years.
Of course I still have this to fall back on (one of several I own or have access too)
Always using artificial lures on an assortment of spinning/baitcasting reels....pond is slammed full of 1-2lb bass and nice crappie....the double digit bass were "taken" (and probably eaten) some years back

. Have fun guys...I can't wait...three weeks and counting....
