Nice end to 2018

Its been nice to finally get some fishing in during this holiday break. We’ve been on a really good redfish bite. Its been a minute since I’ve caught a trout of note and was lucky to catch three in short order out of the same hole yesterday. These two went 22 and 21 inches and hit a Trout Eye Finess jig (glow) with a 4" Scented Jerk ShadZ (nuked pilchard). Great way to end the year.

2018 was a good year for the Fladds and I’m very thankful for that. Turned 50 [:0], both boys in college (empty nesters), wife with a new job, and all doing well. Looking forward to what 2019 brings. Lets hope these trout survive the winter.

All trout released per my usual 20" upper-slot. Happy New Year and thank you for your support of Eye Strike!

Nice trout!Happy birthday on that mildstone! Hope you will have many more. Great day when your boys make it on there own

Great pics Dave and congrats on a great day on the water! Looking forward to coming by and catching up!

Good stuff as usual, Dave! Thanks for sharing.

Nice job with those trouts… Trying to plan that trip for next month. As always thanks for passing on information and for being a great communicator. H N Y

Glad life is treating you well Dave. Other than no time for fishing, I can’t complain at all. Hope to make up for it in a year or so when I retire and move closer to salt.

You best get some arm extenders for picture taking of you’re fish so the look bigger than the ones you catch with Dave.
