Fishing 2020

Am sure everyone out there has cabin fever including me.  Due to the coronavirus, our lives have been drastically put on hold.  Dream fishing trips to lands outside the USA have become a hope.  When International Travel can begin is in question with a few countries saying they will not open anytime soon, maybe not until 2022!  So, what is a person to do who wants to wet a line?  A few friends have recently been fishing locally in the USA.  Friend, Gary Clark has been fishing for big largemouth bass with Capt. Durwood Day on Lake Toho in Florida.
Durwood has years of experience in getting clients huge bass.  Dr. Clark has said the fishing has been redhot.  Durwood can be reached at 407-719-0215.  I have a few trips booked this summer with Capt. Keith Kennedy out of Venice, LA.  Capt. Keith runs Born To Fish Charters and puts clients on huge bull redfish year long.  Keith provides everything from meals, lodging, and tackle.  Keith can be reached at 504-908-3108.
If my International trips indeed do not come about this fall, I am sure I will be reaching out to Keith for more trips.  Good friend, Larry Walker, is always posting photos on Facebook holding giant largemouths over 10 pounds he lands on local lakes in Texas.  Recently, Larry and friend Jim Schmid fished for monster alligator gar on the Trinity River with Capt. Kirk Kirkwood.  Both Larry and Jim had great trips landing gar over 100 lbs.
Capt. Kirkwood can be found on Facebook.  Maybe I will have to get my boat running and head back up to Northwest Wisconsin to restock my freezer with walleyes.  I would tend to believe the fishing is currently on the slow side due to cold weather as it snowed here last night in Fond Du Lac, WI.  So, if your hope is to wet a line this season, International travel unfortunately is probably not in the cards, so look at the good old USA for some action!  Keep on an eye on Facebook and other publications to see when this virus nonsense will finally end and allow folks to live out their dreams!
