any chance of moving it to Kent Lake.  If not anyone got a Canal Map.

SATURDAY
SOUTH WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. MOSTLY CLOUDY. A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...THEN SHOWERS LIKELY AND A
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WAVES 2 TO 4 FEET.

I just talked with Eric...he hooked the biggest smallmouth he has ever seen this morning...he said it made the 5-10 he caught earlier look small  :o  Too bad it shook off at the side of the boat before they got a net under it...I can't wait til morning!

Metro beach is only a 5 min ride from Harley, so it'll be pretty easy, no matter what kind of weather we have to run over there and fish the canals. 

One piece of advice for everyone... if it's windy, have a drift sock with you so that you fish the rough stuff.  Drifting and dragging will be the easiest way to fish the Mile roads in 3-4 footers.

i am thinking the bar on Jefferson is the best place to be in 3-4 footers.  and i don't drink. going to put my flippin stick in the boat for the canals just in case.

You won't need a flippin' stick.  Unless you plan on throwing some BIG swimbaits for some BIG smallies  ;D

I was hoping for 25 mph east winds and 2 to 4 fters it gives me a wee bit of an advantage, I think south winds at 25 mph and 2 to 4 fters may just work  ;D
