8/28 Outing

[VIP]

I decided to give it another try today, after not doing worth a darn for the last 3 months. Tried everything (well almost) in the tackle box(worms, crankbaits, poppers, didn't try jigs) and every type of location I could; ie... points, coves, docks. I didn't start getting bites until I put on a white Boo-Yah top water lunker lure, and hittin the docks around 20-30+'. I had the lake to myself, except for 2-3 others that I seen. Oh yeah, I was @ Larry Gale access. Had about 10-20 just under 15" and a few over(they went in my pond). Oh yeah, I also went by myself. I'm going to quit inviting people, cause everytime I do, the fishing sucks, and I feel guilty. Plus the boat goes alot faster with just me. I get a little bored talking to my rod, and blaming it for the short strikes, which could have been the world record That's the end of my story. I'm just glad I started catching them again, I thought I was losing my touch. Good luck.

Isn't that the truth? If you really want to kill a bite, just take someone who doesn't get to go much and be sure to tell them ahead of time how many you caught yesterday and how good it shoud be today.
