First fish of the day on the first cast.
A decent fish caught from a dock I thought was going to collapse under my feet when I was pulling him in.

Billy Bob Bass was Hitting Good Tonight
So it was a good evening tonight. Hit the reservoir with the little bridge again tonight. Started off using a fly Turkey had tied for me. It was a chartreuse and pink clouser minnow and worked great. First cast fish on. It was one of my largest and fought really good. Fishing then slowed down quite a bit for me, but Turkey was able to keep catching a few small ones down the bank from me along the rock wall. I ended up moving down the embankment to a shotty dock along the water. While there I hooked into another good size one which made an instant run for the Lily's. After losing quite a few in the Lily's yesterday I quickly got my rod in a position to not allow him to snag the hook into the Lily's. I eventually got him to the waters edge where Turkey was and had him lip him for me. At this point I was using a home brewed fly that I tied. A short bit later caught another one, not nearly as big, but still a good little fighter. Pretty good night for us tonight. Tonight's total was 1 dink and 3 decent sized. All large mouth bass. Will post pictures when I get them from Turkey.

Slow Day Fishing
Fishing Report
When to the so called "large" reservoir with the bridge. Turkey was on fire tonight catching fish constantly to include a beautiful fish. Caught one right away and then another about 1 1/2 hours later. Total catch for me tonight was 2 dinks. Think turkey had more than 20. Need to try a different fly tomorrow. A positive note, we had a special guest come visit us at the squadron lounge "hootch".
Turkey with his Big Boy. He was happy to catch this one and keep him on the line. Usually these big ones find their way to the Lillys. This one even took drag and started to run. It was a great fight.
Mario came and visited us. Turkey had to get his picture taken. Haven't seen someone who seemed to occupy so much of my time when I was younger. Thanks Mario for stopping by. GO FIND LUIGI!!!
