Destin Bass Fishing

[By-Catch]

Just got back from a trip to Destin Fl. Saltwater fishing charters were canceled and not running due to oil sightings. So we fished the ponds in Sandestin Resort where we were staying. 72 ponds to choose from and most well stocked with bass. Very easy fishing, just walk the banks from pond to pond. Wife caught her 2 biggest bass ever in one pond. Beaches were full and water was nice, only saw a few tar balls one morning but there are clean up crews walking the beaches all day with plastic bags and gloves picking them up. Saw about a dozen charter fishing boats that were hired to cruise just out from the beach and look for oil.
