The Report from Spotted Tail 5/7/11
Upcoming Events-
-NASA managers have retargeted space shuttle Endeavour’s launch to no earlier than Monday, May 16. If Endeavour launches on May 16, liftoff would be at 8:56 a.m.
-On May 21 I’ll be giving a seminar called Fly Fishing for West Coast Tarpon at Mosquito Creek Outdoors, starting at 10 AM. Tom Van Horn will also be giving a tarpon seminar aimed at east coast fish.
On Monday my anglers were Rick and Randy Krok, father and son. Some confusion reigned in the Krok vehicle during the ride to River Breeze, resulting in their being rather late for our appointment. No problem, we just started a little late.
We rigged a couple of fly rods, then checked out five spots north of George’s Bank. We only saw fish at one of them. I decided to run down to Tiger Shoal.
We found a school of redfish there. The Kroks had trouble showing them the fly. Rick asked, “Is it possible for us to get our plug rods? They’re in the car.”
We ran back to River Breeze and got the rods, then returned to Tiger Shoal. We managed to get a red, a nice fish of about 10 pounds, on a mullet chunk. We saw quite a few fish but never got any good casts to any of them. Finally Rick got a dink trout on the last cast of the day on a DOA Shrimp.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I had appointments with a couple of doctors at various facilities for my annual physical and to deal with a painful but minor problem. Hopefully that problem is now a thing of the past. Gracias a Deus!
Embrace simplicity.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short- go fishing!
