You are liking this sundown fishing aren't you. We will have to hook up for a ninja session sometime soon.

WTG Dan,

Looks like the area was full of shorties.
Thanks for sharing.

NP Jerdon w/ the sharing.

These pheesh were all hard hitting lil' scrappers ... all of them!
The pheesh just could not reach the 14" mark. Close but no cigars!

That's 7.33 pheesh per hr landed, not including a couple dozen of the notorious short bites. They luv to hang on!

That's calc'ed out to a fish being landed every 8.1 minutes .... good times!
