Title: Green Heads.. UGH..
Post by: Hotrod on August 18, 2015, 12:04:53 PM: The past weekend. man they were bad.. and for me I have a good 15 minute no wake before I can open the boat up and loose them.. I understand west winds bring flies onto the beach.. but what wakes up the green heads on the water?

seriously, I have welts from bites like 30+ yrs ago that just refused to heal smooth. They are vicious suckjobs and you must be vigilant.
