Well it was a bust for my daughter and I. Although we saw fish, neither one of us managed to land any.
My buddy, John on the other hand, broke one off and caught three (3). A 24", a 25" and a 30". He’s a very humble guy who is always positive and encouraging towards others (especially me) which I appreciate very much, but that just doesn’t help my disappointment in not being able to catch more often than I do. Oh well, there is tomorrow and the next, so hopefully my skills will improve…
Yea I broke off one today too. It was my first time on a flat and made a cast to a monster not thinking he would even go after it

Nice! The first one almost always gets away! Glad you saw fish.
Yea I saw a few. Seemed a lil deep for tailers
It is like my old Battalion Commander used to tell me…John, it is better to be lucky than good. I did manage to catch 3 fish and break one off, I was just lucky enough to have ample opportunity.
30 inch red
25 inch red
Haulin Bass does a great job seeing the fish, and his casting has gotten really good. He just sometimes forgets that haveing over 20 years of fly fishing can be a small advantage…particularly in making a quick cast that is accurate enough, to a fish before he dissappears.
Martin,
If it makes you feel any better I broke one off today when I took an early lunch, and was able to cast to two other fish with absolutely no luck.
