Spent the afternoon catching fish fit for a magazine. These fish had moxie. All thick, healthy, colorful and an attitude to go along with. Fishwfly gave me a few tips on the area, thanks buddy thumb Longears, Redspots, Redbreast, BG's, Spots and LMB were all tricked. I was catching fish non stop, when one was hooked other fish were trying to steal the fly out their mouth. Simple pleasures give me bliss.

Great stuff Andrew. Sounds like the fall fishing pattern is beginning. Just think how good that spot will be in a month. Better hide your flies, they may just jump into the kayak with you grin

That is an awesome little spotted bass in the last picture. Did you weigh it?

Too bad those longear don't grow like some of the other sunfish species. They can be really aggressive at times.

Thanks for the replies guys. "Stop staring, take a picture it will last longer" is the best way to sum up these good looking fish. The colors on them are great.

Curtis- I'm in a Hobie PA12. Hands free fishing!

Jamie- It would be insane if Longear got over 12"- the water wouldn't be safe to swim in. The Spot wasn't weighed but guess it was 2-2.25b. I have caught several around that size, but none much bigger.

I have a Pelican Catch 120. It fits my needs well and it's easy to fish from. If only I can talk Chuck BAF in buying one! juggle

Jeff, you just never know whats going to bite there, love those places with lots of variety.

Curtis- Pelicans are nice boats thumb. I'm headed down in a few days, maybe Chuck will take mine for a test drive thumb And lemme know if you can fish next week.
