August reds


Got to slip out for a quick morning trip today with my good friend Jason Stacy, manager of the Old Florida Outfitters shop where SWE is based. Its always a treat fishing with someone who can see and throw to fish as well as Jason can, and then will hop up on the pushpole and switch ends of the boat. We were dragging bottom all morning trying to find some crawling redfish. We saw some with their backs out of the water and a few tipping their tails up. Though we didn't see a ton of fish, we still managed 2 to the boat - both on a 6wt with a little shrimp fly that has been working well all summer.
