19. FL: Okeechobee’s vegetation is way down but…
…may be coming back up:
> …vegetation on the lake has shrunk to around 5,000 acres, down from around 42,000 acres back in 2012.
> …there is hope that some of that vegetation will be able to recover. Currently, the lake level is sitting at around 12′, close to the range that will allow sunlight to hit the bottom of the lake and germinate the seeds of the lake grass.
Sounds like any spraying would be a bad idea right now….

Get action!
> “Don’t fritter away your time. Create. Act. Take a place wherever you are and be somebody. Get action.”
– Heck yeah mang! That’s a quote by #26 President Teddy Roosevelt, a big-time sportsman. It’s also the title of Rapala’s newest marketing campaign geared to “yoots.”
Hahaha! I mean, YOUTHS! Rapala sponsors a bunch of “yoot” feeshn stuff and:
> …salutes youth anglers in “Get Action,” a new national television spot.
> “We are witnessing an exciting explosion in youth enjoyment of fishing,” says Rapala marketing director Matt Jensen (Matt DOES fish). “High school and college fishing teams are growing faster than we’ve ever seen.
> “Youth anglers are independent, social, smart and filled with creativity. At Rapala, we say embrace them, talk to them, educate them, support them, fish with them and, most importantly, have fun with them!”
Why the shout-out? I love that they’re talking STRAIGHT to the kids man — the kids need it! Especially Zona…(heehee!).
Btw I did suggest “Git you some action” but Matt didn’t take me up on the reword.
