Chris 362 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hit an old spot of mine on the Grand to kill some time as I had little to do yesterday. Nothing to special, landed about 7 suckers, and one moon eye which actually put up a pretty good fight. Kinda sad to see the decline in fishing in that area as only several years ago you could pull up a few nice sized bass within an hour around this time of year.

Mike Pike Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I love those little Mooneyes. They're usually willing to scrap when the Bass aren't. I think they really tire themselves out, too, because it seems like you need to spend a bit of extra time to revive them before they take off.

dave524 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 love those mooneyes, great time on a light 4 wt flyrod, June seemed to be the best month for them on flys. Have to make a mental note to try them again, just haven't done it in a while. Always thought they looked like miniature tarpon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I was watching 'em busting on the surface a couple of days ago while trying for bass so I switch over to a little spinner and caught a few. They really have the look of a ocean fish like a snapper and they're so quick. Fun on light gear. Oh and I did see a bunch of flyfishers after 'em as well.

laszlo Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 #1) Why mention the river your fishing on a forum with so many members? #2) After mentioning the river, why mention the specific tiny town you were fishing it in? I grew up in that area. The amount of guys fishing there now is crazy compared to when I was a kid. It's sad to see. So much litter along the banks and at the main parking spots.
