a pretty early morning

late last nite's weather forecast for early this morning rain rain and more rain...decided to go out anyway--- over to the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) just to 'wet a line ' at the sunrise hour.. not an uglee cloud in the sky... another weather dood's faux pas... pretty morning.. not a bite under the Sunset Beach Bridge at the small pier--half hour of plugging... on over to the Lake a short distance away.. 2nd cast with a black Buzz Bait and a hookup.. nice.. snapped a pic..Catch and Release of course .. looked back and there they were .. not one but two Gators waiting for a meal-- the 'fat bastiges'... ended fishing for the morning... UPDATE.. up to 89* sunny all day long.. listening to the 50's sounds and oldies  :)

Largemouth Bass-- catch and release
