More Sun and a later tide today
I had the pleasure of fishing with Mr. John Landrum today. John and I hit the flats about 6:45am. this morning. The fog that we had yesterday was gone and the conditions were much brighter and earlier than yesterday. I think this had some thing to do with the lack of fish feeding early on in the morning. John kept on blind casting a Gold spoon fly until he finally hooked up, with a nicely colored Rat Red that put up a good tug on his Orvis 8 wt . fly rod. As we worked along the grass lines for about another 20 min. John was again rewarded for his persistence with another beautiful Red fish. Finally around 11:30am the tide started falling and soon after we spotted a 26 inch class Red fish tailing in the shallows and stalked it waiting for a good shot at it. John made a good effort to get the fly in front of the fish but it realized some thing was up and vanished right from under our noses in less than a foot of water? I think those Red fish have some kind of cloaking device that makes them invisible. The thunder storms are building right on schedule so we worked our way off the flats and still got rained on before we reached the boat ramp.It was a beautiful day on the water for the most part and the fish we caught made it even better. Tight lines,Mike
