I took my kayak out for a couple of hours this evening for a bit of fly fishing. I caught a good number of fish with some nice ones mixed in. I ended up catching some Gar, LM Bass, and Tilapia. The Gar and some of the Tilapia took a leech pattern, and all the bass were caught on a shad minnow-like pattern. I “invited” one of the Tilapia home for dinner;) https://gifyu.com/image/Sd9k2
James,Sounds like you had a very relaxing evening and a great dinner. Nice looking fish.Larry —sagefisher—
Thanks, Larry. It was a very nice, relaxing evening. We live in Central Florida, about 35 miles East of Tampa. Quite often the wind comes in off the ocean and it gets breezy here in the evenings which can make fly fishing a bit of a challenge. Yesterday it was a nice, calm day and the fishing was good.
Nice fish Jim. Glad you had a good evening fishing. Dennis
Thanks Dennis. I try to get out at least once a week but sometimes life (and work) gets in the way.Jim
Cool and a Tilapia for dinner
LOTS of Tilapia in the lakes here n Florida, but they are rather fussy eaters. They fight fairly well and never quite sort of like a good-size catfish. Jim
