Those fish are so dark, tanned from all that Florida sunshine (and tannic waters). Quick trips are always fun, especially when you catch a few.

My Queen needed my help getting some things ready to sell next weekend at a big sale at a local flea market. I got a limited access kitchen pass and ran to the river. In at 7 out at 10 and just in time, the ramp was getting busy. Fishing was off compared to last week and I was kinda confused for a little while. I came around a corner and there was my answer, or what was left of it. In their esteeemed wisdom, the state had been back and sprayed the floating weeds. It will probably take a couple of weeks before it gets back to something close to normal. I did get a few today in spite of everything, the first one a nice 7” CNBG that sucked up a surface popper delivered from my 4wt fly rod. I hadn’t figured out the bite yet and it was slow so I went back to the spinning rod. 4 good bluegill like the two in the pics and a few crappie between 6 and 10” came around, and the topper was a nice 14” LMB that I had absolutely no control on for a good while. Good thing he stayed in the deeper, open water. Everyone got a pass today, except me after I got home. Worked in the shop getting things painted and sanded. With a little luck I’ll get everything set by next weekend. Hope y’all got out and stretched a line or two. It was nice and quiet and being serenaded by the turkeys and owls and all the other river birds was just what I needed. Til next time.....
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

Beautiful fish......only place I’ve ever caught them close to those colors is in the rocks at spring time below Pickwick Dam.....but not quite that dark....and not as big.

Good way to release a little pressure! Nothing like getting out for a bit and catching a few!

Sounds like a good day. Sometimes the short trips are just what we need to get our minds right and relax. Can’t wait to be closer to you so I can make the trips with you!
