Good: Eating Fogo De Choa on Friday night with clients and family
Better: Having one of the best days of fishing in my life on Saturday
Best: Going to sleep on Sunday with the news that Osama Bin Ladin has assumed several thousand degrees Fahrenheit in perpetuity
Every once in a while we are blessed with a day of fishing, that when communicated to others makes us feel guilty at our good fortune. I am going to call it good fortune, rather than Skill because no one likes a braggart.
I spent Sun-up to Sun-Down on Saturday at Camp Cherokee, pulling the rare 200+ fish day out of some prime East Texas realestate. Me, a jon boat and some gators...
Found a few beds while stalking the shore, the big coppernose were colored up!
#6 Boogle Bug, a Mouth Full!
I spent the second half of the day in a jon boat...
God bless "Structure" ...side note, I love the Rio "Small mouth" line..
This girl literally caused the jon boat to spin 180 degrees.
Hooked up with 4 or 5 of these this size, only managed to land a couple...
Last fish of the day...
A wallet, belt, 2 boots and 4 back scratchers...

Wow - I love photo #12 in this post. Awesome angle and perspective!
ReplyDeleteLOOKS LIKE A GREAT DAY!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteAwesome day(s) and post!! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLove those BoogleBugs. I think that gator looks a bit small to yield all of those items... and I really like them better alive myself... but I may be just a bit of a reptile fan.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time, I haven't fished camp Cherokee in at least 4 years, but I do remember there being some great bass fishing in it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Pics----looks like you cover the species, especially the bluegill. Those coppernose are huge, I have never caught one. All the bluegills here in this area are the common bluegill variety, so the coppernose would be a bonus. By the way what size fly was you using? Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletesize 10 wooly buggers and bee flies. Poppers were #8 and #06 boogle bugs.
ReplyDeleteI mainly use sizes 12-8, its rare I go above that for bream.
