The magic of Bass.

So, do you know where the most magical place on Earth is?I do, Disney World.

They also have stuff like theme parks and cartoon characters.

Of course I'm talking about the world class Florida strain bass fishing. Most of the greatest BASS Pro 'atheletes' have been caught fishing there.

My anniversary is getting close and my lovely wife has gone above and beyond this time. We leave Friday for Walt Disney World. And we're not going so we can stroll the parks and hob-nob with the local cartoon actors. We are going for fishing.




She has reserved us a private charter guided by a bass pro to fish the hawgs of Orlando. She has even promised to cast a few herself. There are so many exciting features of the guided excursion that I won't even bother to name them now. I'll save that for after.

My wife told me not to bother packing my gear. "They have poles you can rent." she said. Right. That's like suggesting I don't bring my own underwear and simply rent a pair once we get there. Do you think I speant the winter building a rod travel case just because the lake was frozen? No. It had a purpose, and this is it.



Not only are we fishing the charter but also casting from shore every spare second. According to my sources at the resort, fishing is allowed from the banks anywhere in the resort (before 11am and after 5pm). I've never seen anyone doing this before, so I'm sure it's low pressure fishing at it's finest. What are you going to do between those hours Andrew? Good question. The Fort Wilderness campground is less than a mile away and has many lakes that were designed specificaly for fishing and can be angled all day.

Everyone be patient. I know how excited you are. As soon as we get in from the first round I'll be sure to let you in on the spleandor that is Florida strain hawg ranglin'.
