On the last day of the trip we fished at the swaney river in a Cano we rented for the day. I caught 1 mud fish with a Bandit 100. I hadn't caught a mud fish before that. I also caught 9 pan fish. I don't remember what kinds. Dad caught 2 mud fish, and 9 pan fish. Dad also caught 1mullet. Today was my favorite day of the trip! It was a very fun day of fishing!! Sorry it took so long to put up the last day, but we are home know. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Today my dad and I went fishing at Derby Lake, where Dad caught 1 little bluegill on a fly that he tied under a Rebel Micro Pop-R. I caught 1 largemouth bass on a Bandit 100. I hadn't ever fished with a Bandit 100. I just saw it in the tackle box and thought it looked like it would probably catch a fish. When I used the Bandit 100, I really liked how easy it was to just cast it out and crank it in, and it just had a really cool movement that attracted fish to it. We also saw a lot of alligators in the water and on the banks. Tomorrow my dad and I are going out on a boat saltwater fishing with a local fisherman, so that should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Today my dad and went fishing at a canal at Lake Ida. Dad caught 1 peacock bass on a Rebal Tracdown Ghost Minnow. I caught 2 largemouth bass - 1 on a Yum Dinger and 1 on a Lindy Watsit Grub. So we didn't really catch any big fish and we didn't catch many, but it was a very productive day. Tomorrow we will fish some ponds that should have some fish. Hope we catch some fish tomorrow!

Today my Dad and I left for Florida at 3:00 am. When I got in the car I stayed up for a while, but then I went to bed. It was a long drive but once we got there it was so worth it. We drove to lake Okeechobee to watch a tournament weigh in. It was fun watching all the professional fishermen weigh their fish and talk. After the weigh in Dad drove us to a hotel in West Palm Beach, and we ate at Ihop and now we are in the hotel getting ready for bed. That's it for today. Tomorrow we will do a lot of fishing in canals, but today was just a travel day. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Today my dad and I drove to Clearwater Beach. On our way there we stopped at some public fishing accesses. We didn't catch any fish, but it was a lot of fun. Once we got to Clearwater Beach, we went to Big Pier 60 and fished on the pier until about 10:15. Then we went to our hotel. At Big Pier 60, Dad caught 1 stingray, and 1 catfish, and 1 lizard fish, and a bunch of pinfish, grunt, butterfish, and greenback sardines . I caught 1 fish that we don't really know what it was called, and a bunch of pinfish, butterfish and greenback sardines. That's all I remember us caching but I no I probably forgot something. I don't really know about tomorrow yet. Looking forward to tomorrow!
