Had a nice trip down to Disney. Stayed at Ft. Wilderness Campground. Fished where we always do right on the Disney property. Got to fish for a couple of days before we were shut down by security. Apparently, no more shore fishing after the gator incident.[down] My son got this 24", 8lb bass from the shore one evening. I had one rod that I would catch small blue gills with and then transfer them to another rod with a large hook and bobber. We caught quite a few with the bite being best right before dark. We also took a ride to the Canaveral National Seashore, as suggested by, BenGomez. Beautiful beach, with few people, and saw manatees and dolphins in the lagoon adjacent to the beach. A hot, but great trip and a personal best bass, 2 lbs heavier than my biggest. Saw a lot of deer and turkeys in Disney. The does still looked pregnant and we did not see any fawns. Thinking they are born later down there? Thanks for reading.[up]

Started from Blairstown. We had to stop in Delaware on the way down to pick my daughter up at college. That took us through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. $22 one way. Going that way it took us 20 hours. We stopped in South Carolina on the way down. I drove straight through on the way home, up thru Delaware again. It usually takes us about 18 hours going the 81 route west of DC. No real traffic to speak of. Towards the end of the week it really got hot and very humid, a few minutes walking around and you were soaked. Disney was packed, but SeaWorld was great, very short lines. We did keep sneaking back in to fish.[ninja] Seems security was kind of confused whether or not we could fish or not. Pretty much got a different story from each different security person that stopped by ,so we took a little advantage of that. One Security person told us that it was not a good place to catch fish. LOL

Yes, I would like to try that. I had planned to go on a charter, but never got to it. The wife gets seasick on a calm day. I was so happy to catch that big bass with my son it was like, Mission Accomplished , for the fishing. lol The beach you recommended was great. Thanks[up]

Awesome pictures longbow. As for the doe looking pregnant yet, most likely they are. I know much of the deep south like alabama and Georgia the Rut is actually in January meaning it's two months later which would place births in july. Not sure about Florida but believe I've heard especially in south and central Florida does can come in anytime of the year as it's green and warm enough for fawns to survive no matter when they are born.
