Dawg On

The east winds have been playing a bit of hell on me lately, but last Friday it slicked off nice.  Jim and I started with the reds and after a few shots we decided to go look for cobia.(bad call)  After idling around for what seems like days sometimes we found nothing!  Back to the standby.  We hit the flats again and after a couple of nice shots Jim nailed this fish.  The bummer about the gig was just as soon as the tide was getting good Jim’s fishing partner had to bail and get home.  Charters are available to the land of the lost area, those who are willing to put in a bit of time will find user friendly fish and not many boats at all. Sat before last we saw 2 boats all day!  The rout bite from what I here is non existent.  Biggest catch I’ve heard of was 6 fish thus far.  DNR has started a voluntary program ROE  Release over eighteen inches.  These large female are the key to getting the trout’s number back up fast.  Last fish kill we had it took 5 years to get the trout’s numbers back up.  This may not bode well for reds, with many baitchunkers needing meet for their manly hood it will only put more pressure on them.

Land of the Lost

oh what fly ? whta fly?

Funny how this name came about.  Todd Ballew and I were fishing a section of flats that we thought we were one place and after looking at the map we realized we were on a different one,  oh well the fish were there none the less.  It was nice being able to fish flats with no boats motoring up on ya and the fish seemed to not at all spooky with our presence.

Todd pick'n a winner

Happy at land of the lost

Last night with a 20mph wind and cooler temps Jim Mercer and I decided a lil tail’n action may be going on.  Had some nice fish doing their thing, and  had plenty of shots but with the wind it made it more than difficult.  Jim had put some great cast out there with one eat and another fish caught. It was bottom of the 9th and 2 strikes Jim hit paydirt with this nice sunset fish.
