You got to stop and smell the roses.....

The other day was hot, humid and the bite was slow. Caught a break when like a few days before I noticed a school of baitfish being chased on the surface and headed my way. They came within casting distance and I was able to catch two nice ones by bringing a spoon/stinger thru the school. They changed direction and were gone as fast as they had showed up. The third gill was deep and hit the same type of bait. On the walk out I stopped to smell the roses, or was it butterfly weed? Fortunate to be able to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for lookin!Attachment 408169Attachment 408170Attachment 408171Attachment 408172

Those are some thick.

It's all a part of why we get out, the beauty of what we have been given is wondrous!

You always put up some great photos to go with your story. Enjoyed it.

Those sure do look healthy.

Nice trip!
We call that chigger weed down here.

Nice fish pics, it’s about that time of year for the Monarch Butterfly to start its Fall migration south. God’s Creatures are Awesome!

Thanks for sharing. Often the scenery is better than the fishing. But you got some of both!

Those are some nice sized beauties.

the monarchs have not come here just yet , but soon is my guess , nice post :highfive

Some nice dog days fish. I would enjoy a peaceful pond to relax near. I also learned a long time back that it isn’t all about the fish. So many things cross out paths while we’re out and about, we just have to open our eyes and ears to know it’s there to enjoy.
