We got an earlier start today at 7:15am and fished an area we had never been in before. The GatorTail motor I use will get you into areas and out of them I never before thought possiable with a prop driven boat. We saw fish today but almost all of them had lock jaw. We had one hookup on a top water but it came unstuck and this nice Red pictured ate a Horny Toad after 3 offerings. The Red was 27 3/4" long and weighed 9LB. To bad we weren't fishing a tournament!

I did get to cast the fly rod today . I swam a gold spoon fly in front of a large Red 4 times but it never even acted like it saw the fly? You know what they say, if a Red won't eat a spoon fly you may as well call it a day cause the fish just aren't going to bite. So we called it a day at 1:00pm

Beautiful day and conditions, it's good to be alive!

Tight lines, Mike
