I took a break from hunting trout and got out for about an hour and a half today a small backwater bay of the mississippi and had a blast! I was pounding the sunnies and was able to fill a nice stringer of slabs!  In that short span I probably caught 20+.  I was just using a small yellow popper and it was slaughtering the little guys.  I also caught a glimpse of some good size largemouths in some really shallow water (1-2ft.) in the lillies and right under some heavy brush over hanging the water bank.  I tried to toss my popper in there but ended up getting it stuck more times than not, oh well it was good to work on putting the fly on a certain target anyways.  It was a first for me to try fly fishing for something other than trout and it honestly was a lot more satisfying to land a nice sunnie with the fly rod than a spinning unit.  I plan to do more!
