Be happy there’s a few “pick-up truck people” fishing your shorelines, “working in The Villages” might not feed everyone’s family real well. Wait… All catch and release right?

I was fishing that lake 30 years ago, before someone pretended it had a different name and history and the Florida laws governing water bodies don’t apply in The Villages.

You can expect thunderstorm activity, though, with some carrying gusts up to a formidable 40-50 mph.
