Had a great trip to a local pond with my pal Michael last night - we caught lots of bass and each of us took a big fish - check out this bad boy! It took a
monstrous deer hair bug that I call "The Chicken Fly".

Holy Cow!!!!! WTG Alec!!!!!. Are your pants all wet from that big bass splashing you or did you about soiled your pants when that big girl took your Chicken
Fly.... I am very impressed...looks better than 7 lbs I would say....2009 so far is the year of the Big Bass on Deer hair flies fishing on the Dark side......
There are a lot more warm nights ahead to get some more of those... Great fish buddy!!!! I am vacation the next 2 weeks and doing some serious night buggin; as
I stated earlier "Bass Buggin; bad for heart, but good for the soul

You really know how to make a guy feel bad. Wish I were the Michael who snapped that photo, but I'm just the guy drooling over his keyboard. Mike |

You guys are making me drool. Gillbuster I think you lost the title - Master Bugger goes to Alec. AJ

I definitely agree.... that's a HAWG!!! I gladly relinquish the title, "Master Bugger" to Alec.... that is going to be hard to match....I will
assume the title, "Little Bugger".... I would say that Bass would definitely qualify for a Mass Pin Fish... Imagine what she would have weighed early
spring full of eggs???? but, I am glad to see she's healthy, is swimming/alive to fight again... Cape Cod is a great fishery, I am amazed at the fish that
come from these waters...Alec, post a picture of a Chicken Fly, I am interested to see what it looks like... I bow to Master Alec...
Armed with my Wonderglass fly rod, the quest continues, fishing on the Dark Side... Tightline Little Bugger |

Don't get carried away fellas - the only thing I can master is sleep. Sure was pleased to tie into this bass though - and Michael caught one that was just
as big. John I'll post a picture of the Chicken Fly later this week - Alec

It just came to me that not much mention has been made on this web site on the subject of time on the water. Knowing Alec, I appreciate how much time he puts
on the water, always experimenting with new ideas and angles to fly fishing. I can remember my early days of reading everything I could find about fly fishing
for stripers and author Lou Tabory's emphasis of the importance of spending time on the water. It's not the idea that anyone who fishes a lot will
eventually catch a large fish or that seeing that fish live in water, that's a good place to catch them. The idea is the accumulation of first hand
knowledge, being aware of your surroundings, and trying new approaches to fishing - night fishing, huge "Chicken" flys, etc.
That's my story & I'm sticking ti it. GB |
