well yeah, bubble opens a small hole in the "thin" ice, and allows for the "bee" fly, to drop in hole. and the fishing was stoopid yesterday, caught several bows between 15 and 18 but couldn't hook into the bigun. almost resorted to a bubble and worm.

You see Matt, great minds think alike. :) you need to think outside the fly box and pack along your tackle box like Ivory and I would if I was there. You see in the "reel" world we learn to adapt what the fish a craving, in Ivory's case yesterday the"bee" was working:)

Man y'all two really are stoopid! I give up messing with y'all. I'm tapping out! :D
That was well played by both of you. If hunting and fishing don't work out for any of us maybe we can do a comedy tour. Like Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy. Too funny!

haha. fishing was dead yesterday. caught one exciting one though. was bouncing a streamer across the bottom of a deep hole and rod bent over and line was screaming out. drag was set perfect and as soon as it hit calm water I reared back and turned him back, fish stayed deep and kept running length of hole over and over, thing wouldn't tire out. I was thinking I hooked onto a sturgeon the way it fighting. I was able to wade downstream and coax him in to the shallows and low and behold, a big arse sucker!!! must've slapped the streamer with its tail cuz hook was imbedded deep right above tail giving it full exposure to all its energy. disappointed it was a sucker but was a rush landing it.

We catch em off the jetties in Panama City. Heading out April 3rd - 9th(spring break). Usually target Spanish mackerel and cobia but we could probably catch some of them to. Head this way and I'm sure we can get you on the boat for at least one day. Suppose to have some other people going several days but I'm sure we'll have room. It's a nice time of the year to be in P.C.B.
