Quick morning with Darryl.

This is always fun, fishing with Darryl isn't as frequent as it was years ago, but we almost always get on good days when we get in a boat together. Started early fishing mud flats and water was super clear. Got on quite a few fish cruising and occasionally knocking shrimp out of the water. He got a couple to eat a spoon the one on a crab pattern. Then the fun started for me, he offered to pole for a bit and let me fish. I got one cruiser pretty fast that popped up close. Then we saw several working a small pond. We got the boat in and just sat against the downwind bank waiting for one to move. I was able to tag 3 in a row as they showed themselves before we moved on. Pretty cool to knock down 4 nice reds on fly in under 30 minutes.

We moved to the skinny and crystal clear stuff and found more cooperative fish. Landed 9 all together and had a double on twice. Just a blast seeing all these good reds up and hungry right now.
