Fishing Report

[Trav]

I thought it was going to be a grand evening of fishing.

Started off with a couple of goggle eye the size of my shoe(Size 8.5), then spotted a Largemouth under a laydown that was an easy 30 inches long. Blew my mind. It was all of 8 pounds plus.

I threw at her about a dozen times with a few different presentations and there was no way she was going to react.

So I moved on down the shoreline. I spent maybe a half hour poking a top water into over hanging trees and was mentally driven back to that fish. I wanted it really bad.

Got back to the laydown and there she sat. Right where I left her.

I must have tied on 30 different lures and changed plastics 20 times. This fish was like a rock. I could see it like it was in a Bass Pro aquarium. And it didnt respond. I even hit it with a salamander and all it did was move over to give the bait room to pass. I couldnt even spook this fish. It was quite comfy under this tree.

After an hour it started to rain. So I put on the frog toggs and continued to figure out a way to get her to bite. I started to talk to it. Making bargains with it. "I promise to let you go", "All I want is a pic." "I will be gentle." I was begging and pleading.

She wasn't buying.

I pretty much fished until it was almost dark trying to catch this one fish. If I could have let the obsession go, I might have caught more fish. The result turned into the day being just two goggle eye and 180 minutes of poking at a trophy in Lower Taney standards.

I went back to my dock feeling like a dork. A dork that got obsessed with one fish.

Due to the gas heap, I will only be posting reports from tuesday through thursday. I was running three dollars a day and that has boosted to seven dollars a day. Being on a limited budget, I prefer to eat.

Haha, For a skinny little guy, I can put the food away!..Haha

You boys probably feel the crunch more than me..

I work from home, Have a patent now and will begin on the guts of my book soon. Haha, Hopefully Quentin T. Will give me a call.

Peace OUT!

I saw a really good fish further up the lake this year. I wonder if it's the same girl that got pushed down stream with all the rain. When I saw her she came out to investigate a hooked fish and had a couple of solid buddies with her. I had handed the rod off to my daughter with the hooked fish and put a watermelon red sticko in front of her. She never really looked at it and I have to believe if I would have put a white one in her face it would have been game on. Lesson learned I now have a white sticko on line heavy enough to handle it should I hook a pig. I pull that rod out and have it on the front deck ready to throw all the time now. Hopefully I'll get another shot one day.

Thanks for keeping a steady flow of lower lake reports. I'll be fishing Turkey and Roark this weekend and maybe the wall in front of the Landing if the water isn't running (yeah right). I haven't spent much time on the lower lake so I may just have to commit to some exploring. I'll be sure to take a camera in case I find a pig.

I can't speak much on the patent, the prototype is still in development, the patent I have is just provisional until it is done.

The book is all about death, chaos, murder, and mayhem. About sexy female hit girls and thier troubled minds.
