You will be very pleased. Our water is still very dark, so couple the TroutEye with a white or glow or pearl plastic with chartreuse tail for best results. High tide has been best on the main rivers; Low tide is best up in the creeks.

Man that’s a nice redfish in the fly!

Fish tremble at the sound of my name.

Thanks everyone for your support, really.

Awesome report, it’s always exciting to get an update from you guys.
Did you get that red sight fishing or blind casting?

Fishguy, sort of both. I found a big school of fish piled up in deep water using my depth finder. I used a heavier lead eyed clouser, cast upstream and let it sink into the zone (floating line). Could see the strike by watching the line. Very fun

Optiker, those are some nice fish and thanks for the report. Have been looking forward to using my fly rod. I’m a novice but can’t wait to get a hook up.

nice work otf ~

Optiker, That’s pretty awesome. Can you tell me the tide and how deep they were?

I may not be a smart man, but I know a butt wipe when I see one

The tide was just at the start of incoming. They were in 16 ft. Stand by and I’ll upload a screen shot of what to look for

Great, thanks for the detailed response Optiker.

Larry I’ve been pretty happy with it. I actually use it to find fish in deep water. I used to only use them for depth. This one has downscan which is pretty cool but in hindsight I would use sidescan more I think. The chirp is cool because you can ID a blob as a tree for example but I tend to use the traditional view the most. I know you know this - but this is for the benefit of others

Ralph has a Garmin. Their high end model. It was a gift from a well meaning family member and IMO its awful. He won’t have it much longer

Optiker, always enjoyed your posts, great stuff thanks for sharing.

Let me admit this; I get a chuckle seeing all you young guys with your fly rod in your mouth, holding a nice fish. Heck, if I did that, I’d lose a denture … . :slightly_smiling_face:
