On April 22, Pat and I stayed for a week in Pam and Bob Blasius's condo in Fort Myers, Florida. It was Pat's spring break! I brought along my fishing tackle, and tried to do some fishing time each day.

On April 26, Wednesday, we rented a Pontoon boat at Bonita Beach Rentals, for 4 hours. This is a first for me, as I had never driven a Pontoon boat without Ron McKay by my side!
I caught one catfish using shrimp for bait! Unfortunately the remainder of my bait spilled out of the bucket because I forgot to haul it in when I moved to a different location! Th Pelicans enjoyed my bait by plunging out of the sky after the shrimp!

Thanks to Mike Echterling, I'm now a member of the Lake County Fish and Game Protective Acssociation in Griffith Indiana. This is a membership based conservation association, with 17 acres of fishing ponds! May 4th was the monthly meeting, so I arrived early and met Conservation Mike and Pat Renwick of the WJOB Region Bass Buzz (1230 AM) show.
I fished three of the ponds with a lure supplied by Pat, and landed 3 Bass!
Thanks guys!

Pat had a school event, so I went to the Lake County Fish and Game Protective Acssociation ponds, in Griffith. Weather was cool, in the 50's, cloudy and misty. Got a strong nibble right away, and nothing again for the evening. I enjoyed walking around the ponds, in the quiet, sharing tthe water with a couple of duck families. Nice finish to a hectic Wednesday.
