Guess what?

There were easily some 1 pounders in there. But, guess what? NO FISHING .

Today is the last day!

Today is the last day! IFTD and ICAST 2018 starts tomorrow with ICAST On The Water and the New Product Showcases!! While all of the exhibitors prepare their booths, I thought I'd prepare by exercising my casting shoulder and hounding some little sunfish!

Got the Hook

Do you suppose he was trying to eat the whole fly? Or was he just trying to pick a piece off, but happened to get the hook?

Beautiful Little Fighters!

Tannic water always seems to bring out the purples and golds in these beautiful little fighters!

Bluegill fishing

Bluegill fishing on a footbridge on the Florida Trail with the Gulf of Mexico in front of me, Pensacola Bay behind me and historic Fort Pickens to my right. Now that's a beautiful bluegill spot!

Rainy day reading.

We're supposed to be having a very stormy Sunday here today (although the sun is still out), so I'm glad I got a "new" book in the mail this week. 1964 First Edition of Outdoor Life - America's Favorite Fishing. Hoping to pick up a few new/old pointers for catching bluegill! .

A little reminiscing...

A little reminiscing tonight on these bluegill bruisers from back in the spring! I thought this guy would be the end of my TFO Half Weight. But, as you can see, the Half Weight won!!

The fish that launched a blog!

The fish that launched a blog! For "Throwback Thursday" today I found the picture of the first fish I caught after deciding to start The Suburban Angler. Seems like a lifetime ago, but it was only 3 short years ago this month. Thanks everyone for following along and to all the new friends that I've made. We're working on a few bumps in the road now, but it'll be back to regular posts as soon as possible. Stop by for a visit anytime, links in the profile. Thanks!!

Spent a bit of time tonight tying up some poppers! I used these pre-painted Panfish Popper bodies from Stopper Lures I found a while back. We'll see how they fish this weekend!

Private Pond Bluegill

I was invited to fish a small, private pond tonight and to say it was a successful trip is an understatement!! This big 'gill was easily over a pound and I honestly felt a bit under gunned fishing the 5' TFO Half Weight!! It horsed him in like a champ though, along with a few more and a bunch of small largemouths! Talk about a fantastic evening!!
