Eight Pointer
Posted this to my FB yesterday figured Id share with you fellas as well,
Buddy was ready to brave the cold this morning to try and out do his brother on the short trout. The bite was a little slower than it had been but caught more than a couple dozen by the time we went to look for Reds, and man did we find them! What started as a short trip to get me home in time to study for my last final, turned into an all-day affair. However, I got my share of schooling today, and the kind I prefer!
The sinking line is still a little too much for buddy to throw but he is getting the stripping and hook set down pat. Wandas fish catching practice in the gym was put to use today! Thank you! He hauled in more than a handful of reds on the long rod and hooked more than that on the ugly-stik and plastic mullets by himself. The red with spot on its side was his favorite and was so proud of that one. By the far the best day red fishing I have ever had with landings somewhere between my age and Chucks, lol.
8wt Tfo Axiom rod was the primary weapon of choice for the reds with several landed on the 5wt Tfo BVK rod and BVK reel. Clouser minnows fly of choice.
