I slept in Sunday. Wandered down to the boat stall in the rain. Tinkered with the boat; organized my tackle. I put the boat in about 10. There was a flyfishing and skiff meet up in Bayou Vista I planned to attend.
I went out in Jones and messed around and then into the DC looking for any decent water (there was none). While drifting along chunking soft plastics I kept hearing some bait crashing behind me. I saw some reds cruising the shoreline, eased over toward them and was fortunate enough to have one come close enough for a cast. I picked up the fly rod and laid out a flying mess of fly line, leader and fly. I got just enough of the heap out in front of the red to mend up the mess and roll cast the fly a bit closer. A couple of strips and he took it.
I went to the fly fishing meet up and passed a good time. 8 or 10 skiffs, rod demos and a casting clinic by Steve Soule.
I got home before the rain came back.
