Lunchtime quickie (updated 3/30)

Went to my “walk-to” spot during lunch to cast a few times. Second cast got nailed and I pulled in a nice trout at about 18". Caught on a 4" Z-man paddlerz in Houdini on an 1/8 ox. flutter hook. Didn’t snap a pic as I was trying for a quick release. Released healthy.

Same here :smiley:

There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the mud minnow.

I kinda figured I would get some hate with that title. Lol. It was literally 5 casts total, then back to work. Total of less than 15 minutes. What would you have called it? :smiley:

Partly cool with a chance of awesome. Way to scratch that itch!

It helps working, literally, right on the Cooper. I can hit the Cooper or Shipyard Creek on a break. Caught a bunch of Blues up in Shipyard Creek during the cooler months. My youngest pulled his second largest red out of the “walk-to” spot at 28". It produces pretty consistently. It’ll be a shame to lose it, the clock is ticking and lose it I will.

28" Redfish

Well way to take advantage of it while it lasts.

Any man that doesn’t know how to catch a fish, shouldn’t disgrace a fish, by catching it.

No hate brother it was all love.

Hit the spot again today with the same bait. 4" Paddler-Z in Houdini color. Not as effective. This time it was the fourth cast that got hit. Drag was complaining and the rod was bent pretty good. Thought it was a red for a while. But I had bested my efforts yesterday by an inch and change. 19" (+) Trout. Didn’t have a ruler handy, other than my big foot, which is 12". :smiley: Went to release it and a local asked if he could have it. So it was tossed in his cooler. Normally I wouldn’t do that, but he said he was trying to catch his dinner.

What a great place to live. Tight lines and fair winds.
