Here we go again! I had a computer problem yesterday but I'm OK now (for the time being). We did not have a lot of fishermen this past week, but those who paid us a visit had a great time. No huge fish, but some good numbers of smaller bass. One of our good friends, Travis Phillips was here from West Palm area and he went home smiling. On the last day, they caught 5, I think. Not too shabby. He brought with him a "new lure" that looked just like an 11 in ch snake. This dooie floated, and Travis fished the grass and weeds. They liked the snake, but it didn't hold up very well and at $4 a pop, you'd better be careful or you will lose a bunch of money. Travis did OK and that's the main thing. There are shellcrackers in the south end in the sand, and again, lots of catfish. We had some nice cats come in David McCullough's boat. One of my favorites. As to the baby bass: There is a descripency (did I spell that right) about how many we got. Don't take me wrong, because the number at the beginning was 65,000 and we were really happy! Then, they told us it would be over 120,000 and we were happier! However, the nice biologist, Janice, gave us the number of somewhere about 85,000, so whatever we got, we are pleased as punch. The FWC has been out shocking to see if the babies are eating and Janice is pleased with what she is seeing, so that is also making us smile. I wish that I had been here to see it. Summer is here and we are closed on Tuesdays. Gotta' have some down time now when we can. Joe says fish eat all year, so don't let the summer keep you from fishing. ome pay us a visit when you can. Till next week, good fishing and God Bless! |

Hi, Guys! Not much to report since I only got back yesterday and naturally, Joe neglected to get me some names, etc. However, I HAD to let you know that our baby bass are now firmly installed into Blue Cypress! Folks took lots of photos, but you know me and the computer vs. photos! If I can get some hard copies, perhaps my host can get them up for me. The FWC is out shocking today to see how they are doing! Naturally, the shocking is not gonna' help 'em, but they need to know if they are still in the areas where they were deposited, or so I was told. I was also told that these fish will not move more than 1 kilometer in the first year. I am getting an education from the FWC! There is supposed to be a news story in the Vero Beach Press Journal Spports Section, written by Ed Keller. If you are a computer whiz, you can probably see some pics and read his story. He is supposed to send me a copy, but it has not arrived yet. There are some photos at the shop, if youwant to and can stop by. I had several e-mails while I was gone, and I will be leaving again tomorrow for Alabama. My son was in a motorcycle accident and Mom has to check on him. Everyone tells me that he is OK, but I gotta' see for myself. Will be back early next week, so if you have any questions , need anything, please call the shop. Joe or Bea-Bea will be glad to help you out. I want to thank all of you who e-mailed the FWC when I asked. There had to be a whole lot of them from what I have heard, and I know it made a difference. You all are terrific. Till next week, good fishing and God Bless. |

I could not wait to tell youabout our trip to the new FWC hatchery near Webster, Florida. We went today and got a wonderful tour fromsome very intelligent folks! We learned about the process from the egg harvesting to what feed is used, to how they are progressed until they get big enough to use, like they are going to do here next week. AND, the most wonderful part of this is that they are actually going to introduce between 117,000 and 120,000 babies instead of 65,000! I am thrilled. Ofcourse, no telling how many will secumb to the jaws of other things, but thismany bass is really a shot in the arm for BlueCypress. Unfortunately, I will be gone, but if you are in the neighborhood and want to come out, as long as you stay out of the way, I think it might be a really neat thing to watch. We are trying to get some news media here, but with out TV stations all the way in West Palm, it is a long shot. Just wanted to let you know what is happening and I know you will be as tickled as we are. Till my next report, good fishing and God Bless. |

 I got this blankedy blankedy report all typed and pushed the wrong button and lost it! YUK! However, I have some wonderful news, so I am trying again! Our 65,000 babies will begin to arrive on April 28th! It will take 4 days to finish the stocking. (These smiley faces are about all I can do!) In addition, we have had the best fishing and the most wonderful folks visiting this past week. And let me tell you about one exceptional family. Mike Baria and his wife, from Ohio, came down and rented a pontoon boat and they brought Mike's Dad from Cocoa Beach. Dad caught a beautiful 6lb. 4oz. bass and they put her back! Dad Baria had a terrific day on the water and what a lovely family they were! We also had Joy and John and their family from West Palm, including Judy and Georgia and Jimmy. All had a great time and caught fish too. Roxy and Marc Anderson had a boatload when they went home. Specks, catfish, bass and bluegill, and Roxy caught the most. She told me to say that! Neighbors are catching shellcrackers and specks and catfish and bass and WOW, need I say more? Our good friend, Charlie Serio is here this week, and I will bet he catches a bunch of bass. Folks used shiners, but also, we are still in the "toad" mode, and they wil hit them every time in the grass along the lake. The west side has been much better than the north or east side, and the bass are beautiful. Won't be around for 2 weeks for the next report. Going cruising next Saturday and will be gone for 2 Sundays. If Joe takes names,. I will try to get one out on the 5th. It's CRUISIN' TIME for my friend, Judy and me. So--hang in there until I do get back on line for the reports, and keep up the good fishing. God Bless. |
