There's something about surface action that turns a fisherman on. Any fisherman, not just flyfishermen. Whether its the simple, delicate sipping of a mayfly by a big brown trout or the gut wrenching smash of big game fish through a bait ball; the intensity of watching a big fish eating your offering off the surface stirs something visceral in you. Sometime almost unreasonable and indescribable is stirred within your soul.
It can become an addiction, something we strive to find in whatever fishing environs we find ourselves. Something the majority of us will never quite get over; a lingering hangover of a moment where there are no other cares in the world at all.
We all yearn for surface action.
This short film about bus stripers in Louisiana was posted by a friend on facebook and is siiiick. It's made by Shallow Water Expeditions - I reckon if I ever find myself in the Gulf area I'll look them up.
Watch it and tell me you it didn't get you all heated up!
