I'm super jealous. The river is one of my favorite places to be. I was trying to talk my friends into a trip this weekend, but now I have to work. :grumble:
Soon, very soon, though. She is calling my name.
My sister dropped me off this morning, and she was singing the blues about having to go to work instead of down the river with me. This afternoon when it was time for her to pick me up, she never showed, so I walked home. It was about 2 miles in waterlogged shoes. When I called her, she was at the boat ramp, while I had gone on past there to our camp on the creek. Honest mistake? Or was she letting me know she didn't like getting left behind?0 -
These are great. Thanks for sharing, OP!0

This is the little beach that I walk to from the house. It's just off the county park land at the boat ramp. This is where my sister was waiting for me. My wife said I should get a cell phone, so stuff like this doesn't happen. I figure walking two miles is a small price to pay for peace and quiet.

Gorgeous!!
My red canoe has been sitting behind the garbage cans at the side of my house for the last two years. You may have inspired me to do something about this:)0 -
Lovely. I'm jealous too. I spent the day inside with 4 young children.0

While some of the rivers here can be as pretty with their clear water and cypress trees (Frio, Medina, and Guadalupe), I don't think we can compete with the size of the bass down there.
Also, you have one of the coolest of the non-common black basses (i
I'm calling largemouth, spotted and smallmouth the "common" ones) in the shoal bass. I tried to catch one when we went to north GA in fall, but I think it where we had time to stop and fish was a cold water stretch below Lanier that just had rainbow trout.
I did get a nice largemouth for the South Llano last time we went. I also got a guadalupe bass about a pound.

These are absolutely gorgeous. You're a rich man. Thanks for posting!0 -
These guys were just hanging out to see if I was going to make it back alive:bigsmile:
Are those BUZZARDS??? Wow....
no crocs?0 -
I know these "hand painted" bluegill come from the Apalachocola drainage (the river OP mentioned is part of it) , but have you ever caught some of these guys?
All throughout the south pond owners stock coppernose bluegill (native to south Florida with a similar evolutionary history to the Florida bass), but I'd love to get some of those for a pond stocking if it was legal.

Larro - As always your pictures are very impressive and inspiring! It lloks like you had a wonderful day on the river even if you did have a little walk at the end. I really loved the picture of the deer, that was an AWE moment. Thanks for sharing!:flowerforyou:0

Nice looking bass, John. I didn't do much fishing yesterday, but last week when I was on the river, I caught a hand sized red breast bream {using a bit of cucumber for bait}. I have never seen the hand painted bream in the Chipola, but have seen some caught on the Florida River. The really good fishing is a little more south of me. From Clarksville on down there are a lot more sloughs and swamps, going all the way to the Dead Lakes.
We have a Flathead catfish problem in the Apalachicola River. They eat tons of bream everyday, and folks come down from Alabama and Georgia to bream fish here, so it's hurting the tax base.0 -
Here are a couple more. This bird was fishing at Ring Jaw. I was so focused on getting the picture, I got the canoe hung up on the rocks and had to step out and walk it over the shoals.

Beautiful. I am blessed with a river in my back yard.0

The tree with the swing is about 8 feet from the corner of our land. When the St Joe Timber Co land wasn't leased, lots of people came here to swim. We were always worried about someone getting hurt and wanting to sue.

This is the approach to the mouth of 10 Mile Creek. The mouth of the creek is on St Joe land, but the creek does cross our land.
