Water was very clear, but fish weren't visible near shore. I used a black microjig about 4'-6' below an indicator. Nothing was happening for the first several casts, so I readied myself for disappointment. Soon, my indicator ducked under the water, but I missed the fish. DRAT!
Things slowly picked up after that, as I worked my way downwind along the shoreline. I ended up catching 9 Bluegills, 1 Green Sunfish, 4 Crappies (biggest measured 11"), and I grabbed a HUGE crayfish that was marching beneath the water near shore.
Ended up being a pretty good lunch-time fly-fishing expedition! Plus, it was so nice out that this was the first fishing outing of the year where I got to comfortably wear a short-sleeve shirt, and there was "No Jacket Required"!
Ok...now the fish porn:
Is that a small lobster or just a giant crayfish? haha
