Thursday, July 8, 2010 at 10:30 AM Lisa Boyd, one of the Isle Of Pines Bass anglers that spends all her free time fishing Lake Mary Jane and Lake Hart in SE Orlando caught this beauty under the Moss Park Bridge between Lake Mary Jane and Lake Hart using a Arkansas Shiner. The skies were blue and the temperature hung around 80 degrees when Lisa came upon this bass.
This was a blessing for Lisa who had all her fishing equipment stolen from her boat in the early hours of Fathers Day this year. Lisa had entered into the Isle of Pines Fathers Day Fishing Tournament and had been spending the weeks before surveying the lakes to find her winning fishing hole for Fathers Day. When she went out to her boat to head for the boat ramp the morning of the tournament, she discovered that over a $1000.00 worth of fishing equipment was stolen from her boat. Devastated, Lisa reluctantly withdrew from the tournament after dropping off the coffee and snacks for the anglers in the tournament.
Word traveled quickly in Isle of Pines about what happened to Lisa. Shortly after the tournament in the early afternoon, local anglers started arriving at the house to drop off new fishing poles, reels, tackle boxes, tackle, Bass Pro Gift Cards and more importantly, a show of support for Lisa.
Whom ever stole all Lisa's gear, be careful, you have a whole community of fisherman, friends and neighbors that are not going to be very understanding as to why you would do such a cowardly prank. Don't get caught!
To the residents of Isle of Pines, thank you for caring and coming to Lisa's aid.
Best regards,
Rick Boyd -- Lisa's Husband
Nice catch Lisa well done
