Started the nice 'warm' day off this weekend with this snookie just after dawn. Rest of day was pretty slow - a couple of shots to a few uninterested reds. Highlight of the day was at the end before noon, working the mangroves on my way paddling back to my launch site. There I saw a nice sized red in the shade. He didn't spot me so I was able to set up, anchor and take a nice shot. Unfortunately, an unseen branch hanging low caught my fly! To add injury to insult, as I quietly pull my board over to retrieve my fly, two slot-size snook and a good sized red casually cruised by 3ft in front me! I could almost see their grins...ahh, fishing...Gotta love it!

Biggest bucket from the backyard yet! Fun fight on the 5 wt TFO Rods - Temple Fork Outfitters. Actually got him on the reel for a few deep dives. Destroyed my foam gurgler. For more, follow 'Ospreyflyfishing' on Instagram!

Weekend fishing report – Hot, hot, hot! But not the fishing unfortunately. Only had this small Jack and a sailcat want to play. Both on a chartreuse Chewy minnr pattern - love how it moves!

A handful of Chewy
Minnr's ready to fling this weekend! They have a 1/8" tungsten cyclops bead to sink, but land lightly. One in chartreuse, well because, "if it ain't chartreuse....". Ready to dunk 'em!
