Jacks in the Surf; Nov 16-18, 2018
2018 Damon in November report
6 people signed up, but we had 19 fishing the event.
Everybody caught fish, but the fishing was slow. “Puck” only caught 27.
Large-mouthed bass, red-ear sunfish, bluegill, and tilapia all came to hand. Some of the largest fish hit top-water flies, and even more hit sub-surface.

Les describes hook sharpening, and care
Les shows us how he sharpens his hooks before he ties the fly. Some of the better hooks on the market can rust as soon as you sharpen them. So he has this tip/trick that prevents this.
