i was not expecting to catch this on a zoom u-tail...

8-)

must be the tequila sunrise. nom nom. she picked it right off the bottom as i was hopping it along on my first cast. didnt bother to stay much longer though. between the on and off showers and the heat , it was uncomfortable.

Gotta love it.  It's not that often you catch them on plastic worms.  I stuck one on a curly tail that had the curly portion ripped off.  Don't know why, but two of them swirled around it the second it hit the water.  Great fighters.

thats an understatement lol.

the few i have caught this year have been on plastic worms or stick baits of all things. ive had had alot of followers fishing flukes and fluke jr's in natural colors.

btw , do you have a full size pic of your avatar? that peacock is beautiful.

Nice fish. I want to catch a peacock sometime in my life. Is Florida the only place in the U.S. that has them?

two states have them: Florida and Hawaii

Man I'm really kickin' myself now that I didn't try to catch one of those things when I went to Miami earlier this summer.

Great fish!!

heres another silly one from today. this one smashed a trigged zoom speed worm w/ an unpegged 1/4oz weight in watermelon candy which just may be one of my new favorites.

I love me some watermelon candy.  Don't know why, but I've had a lot of success with it lately.

Btw, I don't think I have a full size pic of it anymore.  I've got a decent size one up on photobucket, but I can't find the original anymore.
