Mixed bag of fishing

I spent the first part of the week at my friend's cabin catching Bream, Bass and Crappie. We fished early in the morning and late evening due to extreme heat. It was 104 Tuesday afternoon. Last trip I had good luck on all three species using a tiny Rapala that got destroyed by a mudfish. I had to search Amazon to find one but I had good luck again on all 3 fish using the lure. Charlie's pond has a lot of structure in it so the floating lure works really well.
We also had good luck using fly rods. Attachment 307691Attachment 307692Attachment 307693Attachment 307694Attachment 307695

I left Charlie's Thursday and came to Southport to visit my friend Joe. We went out on the pier near his house and I caught my first Black Drum. I got a 22" one, a decent size Pigfish and had three nice ones break me off.. These boys are strong and it is hard to get them turned before the wrap you in the pier.
Joe just finished cleaning them as I typed this. Some fine eating tonight. [emoji3] Attachment 307696Attachment 307697

A fine week of fishing all the way around. Charlie’s pond looks like a fish haven and the fish have great color. Mud fish and jack fish give our lures fits, here in Florida, at times.

Ray you are really lucky to have a friend like Charley that is willing to share what he has. Those are some beautiful fish with good colors. Glad you enjoyed your 2 adventures and thanks for sharing

Nice catch of mutiple species fish.

Good report and pics Ray

Thanks for sharing the trips with us Ray. Charlie's pond looks like it would be ideal wood duck habitat as well. Let us know if that pig fish has a somewhat of a pork taste to it.

Love those color fish.

Very nice fish. Thank you for sharing.

A couple of fine trips that produced some good looking fish. Way to go Ray!

Those cranks were doing their job for you! Congrats Ray on the catches.
