Another new style of casting?!  A bit frustrating having been working on a longer accurate cast, this seemed like a flop in the water.  I admit, I was a bit rusty, because I hadn't been fishing since March! Site fishing is fun, but it comes with a lot of pressure, especially when there aren't many targets.  I'm trying to decide if I prefer to read the water and ("blind") cast with optimism or see the fish and cast with impending failure.  Either way, I got two beautiful reds to the net, thanks to an incredible guide...and don't forget the belly full of beignets.
