Location: Alley West MM35 on I-75 (Fire station rest area Everglades canalway)
Time: 6pm-2am
Results: Had 5 keepers in 1st 1.5 hours of the tourney although I had never fished there. Probably culled 10 bass, catching 15 keepers in total and probably 25 bass in total.
Finished tournament in 4th place out of around 20 anglers so not a bad placing considering I fished alone and had never fished that area before. Missed a big 5lb bass that broke off right at the boat and would have placed me in 3rd place. Winning bag had 2 monster 6lb+ bass, a 5lb bass, and 2 that were in the 2lb range (23lbs) so there's definitely some big bass in that area.
Fished at night so topwater action was definitely the way to go. Used Pop-R's to catch my limit early, Zoom horny toads were getting blown up, winning angler used skinny dippers, Gambler Big EZ. Good alternative to L67 as there were some nice stringers of fish weighed in, including 6lb+. 10" worms (junebug or black) under the bridges and points also produced some nice fish.
