It's 4:12 and I literally just tied the boat to the dock and walked in the houseboat frustrated. The float n fly is on but I never boated a single fish.
Shimano spinning reel on a 9' Field and Stream fly rod, Suffix 30# braid to the 3 way swivel, Seaguar 15# fluorocarbon (12ft leader) to the 16th oz. Punisher jig, finished with fish dope. Standard FNF bobber.
Water is clear to cloudy and 49*. I fished Indian Creek @ bluff walls and elongated rocky points and gots bites everywhere I went. I missed about half the fish on hook set and lost the other half on the way to the boat. After about a 4 minute fight I lost a huge fish that took my confidence with her. Did I say huge? I was wrong...It was bigger than that....HUGER I guess. I'm still pissed but managed a quick thank you prayer for the fight.
I guess some days you win and some days you lose. I'll be here for three weeks so I have time to get even!
Jeff
