Nice looking bass @R.K.
Not much fun fly casting at water level from a sitting position.

I used to do a lot of it for Ozark smallmouth. Hard part was making sure the backcast was clear, and getting the rods down to go under sycamores in the riffles.

We took advantage of a break from the wind and got out on the ocean.
Nothing to brag about , we caught a seven foot Lemon Shark on a three way rig with a forty foot leader . Fun until we realized it was just a shark .

Caught about 10 bass in 3 hours on the frog this morning. Normally catch about 10 in 3 days on the frog but Ilove throwing it. Kept a few smaller ones to eat.

What’s your favorite way to cook bass?

With 3 kiddos at home those ones ended up fried as they often do. I really like leaving the skin on scaling them and treating it sorta like redfish. Cajun seasoning blackened on a bed of rice with grilled veggies .

Missed the derby leader by 2 pounds.

9th time was the charm. Only have caught 1 striper 1/4 inch below slot so far. Went on a magic hour big striped bass trip with the full moon 3-9pm on Queen Mary Point Pleasant NJ.. Fishing was really slow to start as in nothing 1st 2 spots. We get set up on Shrewsbury Rocks and have unweighted eels. Letting them out far from boat was how people were getting hit. So I let out lot line. Feel tug and was told let them have it for 6-8 seconds then reel to set circle hook. 1st mate screams he is on reel reel reel and it has been only 1 second. Reel and fish just peels line. As I can see the end of my line maybe 10 yards left I put my hand on spool to slow down crank drag and 1st mate says just crank and hope for the best. Get some line back loosen drag and have a few runs and when gets netted they cut hook. Pick fish up throw in my arms snap a few pics and toss it back in and belly flops but swims away. I tell myself dont go into shock because of all the trips from the Midwest to east coast and land a monster. They guessed 45lb.son caught 1st flounder next day.
