Nice day to be out. Went solo and when I did find them it got busy and I forgot to take any pics. That and the wind made it difficult to stay on them.

Hey,

It sure beats working.

Maybe this day will turn out to be "average" as your "best" day is ahead of you this year.

Thanks Sam,

Last year I joined the ranks of "homeless & unemployed"  : otherwise known as retired. Spent most of the summer & fall fly fishing for Trout around Blue Ridge, GA. But the drought this year and changing addresses down here pretty well negated any trout fishing. So I proposed that if mama was buying a new house and I was relegated to fishing for bass here in FL, I should have a bass boat. She thought for a minute and said "  I think you're right. I would hate to have you die wondering what it would have been like."  Am I a lucky guy or what? Not only that she will join me if I don't make it an all day marathon   . So we usually do an afternoon for her at least every other week.

And yes I think today was just getting primed. 5 of the fish came from an area no larger than 50 feet in dia. Kinda felt like they might be starting to stage. (we can only hope).

Tight lines.

sounds like you really whacked 'em man.  a sign of more good days to come for ya i hope.
