My best afternoon on the flats...

I caught 5 otf wading today, one was a pig around 30".

Sick!!!


Pillage and plunder with a 9wt and a fist full of clousers.

Good stuff right there!
My personal is 6 OTF.

I’ve been hanging new kitchen cabinet doors, re-painting the kitchen and trying to fit in a little work that pays and you are out fishing. Make me heap big ill.

OK, congrats on a great day.

Nice Work Captain.

Good stuff… I should have caught more, but I lined a fish that tailed right between myself and the other fish I was casting to. The 4 smaller fish were caught in water that did not cover my ankle bone… they were crawling all over the flat with their backs out, and even tried tailing a few times but there wasn’t enough water so they ended up doing the most ungraceful somersaults. I’ve never seen them in water that shallow, it was very very cool. I only had one resusal yesterday, it seems all the fish were hungry.

I had a big boy tail right next to me… within 10 feet or so. I almost wish I had my camera in hand for that instead of the 9wt… almost.

We saw over 20 fish…

Toothless, I know you have some good pics of tailers. I’m looking for one to blow up and put in my tying room. Something like this… http://www.wallhogs.com/in_stock/product/1441?catid=111

We (chasing tail and i) saw a large number of lil rats (VERY shallow as well) on this flat that I haven’t fished in a couple years. More little ones than I have ever seen. Don’t think we saw one that was over 24in. I must have hit no less than 10 fish directly on the head resulting in a blowout. We had a couple of bites but the fish didn’t do right after they ate. One of mine ate and haulled a$$ right toward me and I stripped as fast as possible and just coudn’t keep up and the fly fell out. Worked very hard and came up empty, but I guess it happens, but not often!

You are evil and must be destroyed for fishs sake Jerms!! :slight_smile: Dang nice job!

ch allen,

I guess that was you getting off the maverick last night. We had a big group working, madmike and I each caught a fish in the 25" range. Pretty cool to do it on camera, shadowgrass has a guy who is working on a film.

We did see a few convicts tailing and that seems to be pretty common in that area. Always pisses you off to get over there and have the man in the striped suit show up.

Jerms, I do have some that are fair, but I got a couple great ones recently. I’ll try to remember to post it and you are free to download and blow it up.

yessir that was I. Saw a few sheads as well. But mostly little rat reds. Nice to see, but would rather see the fatties, as most would.

5 otf on one tide?
Best I’ve every done on one tide is 2.

Good show, jerms.
You must be really sneaky.

Way to go! Almost had my first tailer on the fly Friday afternoon but came up short after he spit my crab. I will be back soon for round two!

nice man… I only got one last night… shoulda been 4… but the fish got the best of me…

I was pretty down on myself after screwing up the first three… then got a redemption fish… otherwise I may have gone home and cried myself to sleep…

Glad to hear that the fish cooperated with you though!
