Went out for a couple of hours yesterday evening...bite was slow until the sun got down behind the tree line. Once the sun was off the water, the bite turned on. Caught a few, all in the 2-3 pound range. Caught a couple SHALLOW....like, belly-crawling with their backs out of the water like a redfish, shallow. Also got a few hits throwing around lily pads.

That little pink/white gurgler is a one-off that I got free. Community Fly Supply in Gulf Shores has a board outside the shop where folks can stick unwanted flies for other folks to take for free. I saw it on my way out of the shop last summer and grabbed it. Caught a couple of reds and specks on it, but I've lost count of the bass it's caught. It is just about worn slap out, most of the hair/fur from the tail is missing, the fur/fuzz underneath it is worn out and it's dingy, but it still catches fish. Really need to find someone that can make me a few more of it before I inevitably lose this one, because I've never seen one quite like it.

Get after it man! It's such a blast. I paddled up into a shallow area that was legitimately only like 4" deep...kayak was dragging in the mud. I could see one belly crawling around an area the size of an average living room and occasionally chasing bait. I got as close as I could without spooking him, slowly stood up and cast that fly, landed it about 3' from him. He immediately turned on it and chased it, kicking up water the whole way. And once he hit it all hell broke loose. After about 30 seconds, he got back out into deeper (2-3') water and I was able to actually fight him for a few minutes until he decided he'd had enough

If you tie flies I’d like to see about a wet bluegill pattern and a puff of brown to resemble floating fish food pellets

I don't tie them myself, but have a really good friend that does. I sent him the pic you posted, he's gonna look and see if he has or can order the material to tie a few up.

If you can find any materials close to both of you are wanting or using, he said he would try hard to replicate. Pm me and I'll send my address.
