    Vett: That first bass ... I was sight casting to the blow-up seen ... I didn't know the camera had drifted off the spot. That bass launched itself at the fly, but the camera missed it. I am really glad the second fish's hit IS on the camera.

    Lou: The Panfish Attractor does sink, but it's a slow drop. On many of the retrieves, I start bringing it back as soon as it hits the water. I try to keep it within a few inches of the surface. I am usually fishing water that is less than 3 feet deep in those situations. But there are areas with deeper water, and there I'll let the fly sink 'til I think it's on the bottom. Usually, the hit comes as it's falling.

    LOL The St. Johns River IS a tranquil place, when I am fishing it. I usually don't even put the boat in if the winds are going to be more than 15 MPH. I can handle fishing in the rain, as long as it's not windy. I can handle fishing when it gets a little cool, as long as it's not windy.
    I hate fishing in the wind. I control the boat with a paddle and anchors. This gets very frustrating when the winds get too strong.

    Ben ... it's the fly posted back on #47. I did tie you some a few years ago. Again, it's going to be a while before I get to Texas ... but I'll bring you some.

    Dan ... every fish. I've never lost that "first fish thrill" I got when I was 6. Indeed, fishing is fantastic.

    Yeah that fish catching smile is great. Sm, little, big or monster fish. That bump on the line will bring a smile.

    After my last two trips and the nice Crappie they produced, today was a little slow. NO Crappie, one Bluegill and some small bass. I also included some misses, just to show I don't always set the hook right.
