MONday
Launched the kayak at Buck Lake on a stunning morning. I miss all the weeds that supposedly did not get sprayed. Fly fished for a couple hours without success, so switched to a Culprit worm. It wasn’t great, but it did take six or seven bass to about three pounds. Was done by noon.
Another kayaker told me he got about a dozen fish to over four pounds on soft plastics. Good morning if he was being honest.
Tuesday
Beautiful weather again! With the gauge reading 0.9 I launched the kayak on the Econ. Three hours of fly casting with a Krebs popper netted a single bass of maybe 10 inches, one small spotted gar, and two stumpknockers. Again I switched to a plastic worm. After noon it started working pretty well, and although I saw a couple fish in the four-to-five pound range my best was only about 14 inches.
On the paddle back I saw a bunch of bedding redbellies and switched the fly to a foam spider. I got only one nice one.
Since May Day was this week, I have started gathering my belongings for this summer’s trip to Alaska. I need to buy a gold pan and some hot pink chenille.
Great fly for hot silvers…
That’s this week’s East Central Florida Saltwater Fishing Report! Thanks for reading!
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short- Go Fishing!
