After a string of good trips, it was bound to happen.
Got home from work at 6:30 last night, threw the boat in the truck, headed to the lake. Too rough so down to Lake rd. to try the bayou for the first time this year. 7 pm, fishing my way to the mouth, no luck, and then at the second cut, the bass are playing smash mouth in the pond. Sweet, get my box, nope, left the frogs and buzz baits at the house. find a gold spoon in my lone tray, 1st cast hung on some crab trap, then the trap moves. Fattest marsh bass in my career starts head shaking. got him to the boat and he quick releases my spoon as i try to lip him, easy 3, maybe 3.5 lbs. oh well.
Man, i LOOOOOVE fishing. Back to the bayou, to the mouth. 2 boats are there, so i start to drift back up, missed two solid strikes. Just couldn't get a hook in a fish. Dark settles so back to the truck.
Up at 3:30 this am, do some work, boat is still in truck so might as well fish. Dead calm at my house, go to the park, blowing from the south???? 4 miles away??????? I'm in the water at 5:45, paddle out, nothing... change color baits, ist cast miss a strike on the fall... man i've got to stop daydreaming... five more minutes, nothing... let's try inside the piles... 1st cast, feel the bump, Bill Dance hookset... and now I own a 2-piece Allstar.
Back at the truck for 6:15. Like I said, my mojo broke-down. Hope ya'll catch lots of fish this weekend... Greg
