A couple more minutes and I have my first red of the day:

The fish started to show in ones and twos for the next two hours. If the fly was anywhere near a fish, he'd eat.






Every time I hooked a fish, a second fish would ultimately slide into casting range. I got fed up and this ensued:

Foolish and stupid but the yield was alright:


I decide that this piece of water deserves a second drift so I push off the flat and crank up to loop around. As I'm idling through 5-6 feet of water, the surface explodes with pompano skipping in my wake. Motor off, bean head jig tipped with fish bite prompty tied on spinning rod, and cast fired into aftermath. I let the jig sink and bounce it once and get hammered. Pompano 1 in livewell. Five more joined him and another 8 were sent home.

This guy sat up front and enjoyed the pomp firedrill.

It's now 2:00 and the tide is about at its bottom. I got two more reds on the same flat and then ran to a couple more to see if anything was shaking. Not to be. On the trailer at 4:00. Tally for the day: 15-20 reds and 14 pompano.
I believe we are in for an insane month of fishing fellas.
