No worries -  Yellow Grasshopper with White Legs did well! Caught one Bass and 30 Bluegill/Sunfish! Bass went just over 12" in size and one Sunfish did go over 8". Posted the Sunfish on the COAF Leader Board. A lotta fun catching them on the fly today!

Kroger Park and a Yellow Grasshopper with Centipede Legs

Fished Kroger Park this afternoon to test a Yellow Grasshopper with Centipede Legs. Caught 4 little Bass and 3 Bluegill. Did hook and lose a larger Bass but would not say it was a Bruiser.  Sounds like this pattern has potential!

More Surfcasting At Brockdale Park But...

Went back to Brockdale Park this evening.  Used surfcasting gear to fish the Point.  Front seems to have changed things with less surface activity compared to yesterday.  Did manage four undersized White Bass.  Regardless, was good to know a Cork and Jig Rig was still getting a strike or two!

Back to Brockdale Park to Troll for White Bass

Went back to Brockdale Park this afternoon for more fun with the White Bass.  This time, opted to troll Roadrunners on a flatline instead of surfcasting Cork and Jig Rigs like we did this morning. Managed to catch eight keepers and let go a lot more under-sized fish!  Good day overall.
