Finally, the pics are over, I run and grab my rod.. and me and the boys proceeded to have a grand time:







Here's what a clouser minnow looks like after catching a ton of lady fish (bottom fly vs. unused top fly):

Awesome, looks like a beautiful place to spend time with the kids and teach them to love the outdoors... i am moving to an oceanfront town just as soon as humanly possible, cant imagine how much fun ocean fishing must be, a lunker from the local river or lake has nothing on what you might pull out of the ocean on a given day.

That said, i've had my best all around fishing year this summer... the first flathead and blue cats of my life, all between 15-25 pounds, several 5-7 pound bass, a HUGE drum about 15 pounds that fought like hell, several crappie caught while not even fishing for them and i've found some absolutely killer creeks chock full of fish that i bet no one has fished in ten years, they're waaay out in the boonies and worth every gallon of gas it takes to get there.
