Well not a whole lot to report on my trip to the big pond. Arrived Sunday the 18th. and came home on Friday.
Anyway on with the report. Fished Ruggles area for eyes on Sunday and only mamaged one keeper, ran to the Bar the next day and zip. Ended up perching and they are on fire out there. Couldn't even eat a sandwich as they bite so fast. Didn't do any good on eyes until Thursday. Back at Cranberry went west and found a small pack of fish in 21ft. of water . Managed to catch four before they disappeared. Just a keeper, a 23 and 24 incher and a 7 1/2 lb. pig. Two biggest fish came casting and two others came on worm harnesses on the bottom. Got up Friday morning and the winds were howling, couldn't get out so I came on home. Last picture is looking out from Cranberry Marina Friday morning. Fishing was slow but sure was great getting away, not having to answer to anyone or anybody bother me or wanting anything. Iv'e been getting my butt worked to the ground all summer. This get away was long overdue. http://img5.ranchoweb.com/images/orlando/mvc-002s.jpg http://img5.ranchoweb.com/images/orlando/mvc-003s.jpg http://img5.ranchoweb.com/images/orlando/mvc-004s.jpg

Nice Hog Orlando!
Did you happen to pick off any smallies while you were there?

Never took the time to fish for any smallies, probably should have. Did see several charters fishing the reef with softcraws. They were picking them up but I never saw them catch any hogs. Word has been real slow on the smallies lately along with the eyes. Things gotta pick up soon
