Skunked on a Friday Afternoon

Same story - different day

I intended to leave early (you know it's bad when leaving at 1600 is considered leaving early), but like always, I left at 1730.

Not a whole lot of time to get fishing in.

I took the Tenkara Yamame out and tried to catch that bog parrotfish at the marina. I used the reverse hackle fly in the picture, but didn't get a look from three fish. I tried going after the Manini (Convict Tang), but they too scoffed at my offering.

I lost my patience and switched to a mullet fly. This time they at least looked at the fly.

The morale of this story is - a small piece of squid on the end of any hook is a good piece of insurance.
