Mixed in some nice Fliers today on the Pasquotank.....Caught them all on the Pink Gronaw Grass Shrimp under a float still somewhat shallow with 83 degree water temperatures.....Biggest today was a little over 9 inches and all were released to get a little bigger before the next time they engage with an angler......
Mixed in a few Fliers in today's mess from the Pasquotank River........I had two world Class Fliers today ....Both over a pound and both over 9.5 inches....Neat thing about this pair was I caught them on baits that other BBG members made and sent me to try out....Jim Gronaw with the grass shrimp and Tooty with a micro bait that I have renamed the Silent Stinger....this one was Chartreuse in color.....Water temperatures were in the low 80s and the fish were caught at 30 inches under a float.......Fun time in Carolina!
Got out on my favorite river yesterday with my friend Doc and his son Matt....We were cruising along with scattered showers in the area catching a few gills when I told them we were approaching a feeder creek to the surrounding swamp....I explained that the water is normally moving in this area and it has become a fish magnet.....I had just explained that I recently caught my personal best Flier Sunfish in this very location when the bobber supporting my pink and white curly tail could not be detected in the mouth of the creek. The jig had been swallowed up and tension now found my Zebco....I had just caught some nice Coppernose and this fish wasn't fighting like they did....What could it be, maybe a Crappie or a little bass but when the shiny sides flashed next to the boat I just yelled out giant Flier......As the fish began to surrender, I reached down and lipped what would turn out to be my personal best, a mark that had only stood for 11 days.....Turns out the fish was 10 inches long and weighed 19 ounces.....What made my day is all three of us fishing yesterday caught our biggest Flier ever.....
