A few hours with the Ned

[Quillback]

 

 

 

Got the boat back today, met Muddy Water at Eagle Rock for a few hours fishing.  We fished the Ned and in 3 hours caught some where between 30-35, half dozen keepers, nothing special except the 5.1 Muddy caught.  (That fish looked to be an easy 6 to me, but 5.1 on the scale).  Fish were right on the bank for the most part, structure similar to what you see in the background.

Had some yahoos fishing from the courtesy dock, they had their boat tied up to the front of the dock, as far as we could tell, they launched their boat, tied up to the courtesy dock and commenced to fishing.  Makes no sense but from what we saw alcohol or some other substance may have been involved.  5 of them fishing off the rather small dock and I had to ask them to move so I could drop Muddy off to get the truck.  Sheesh.  They were pretty civil about it for the most part, one of them was a obviously pregnant gal and she told me I had a "nice boat".  And when we were tying the boat down she hollered at us and asked us if we wanted a cigarette.  Muddy hollered back that smoking is bad for your health, LOL. 

Just as we were leaving another rig came in, they' probably had to go through the same drill as the folks on the dock had retied there boat and deployed the fishing gear.

5.1 on the scale, didn't get the story done before you clicked on it.  I have trouble posting a pic on top and then adding text, have to do it in a 2-step process.

Little guy continues to work. Just a lot of folks trying to force other things on them this spring from what I can tell.

Nice day fishing and nice catch!

Muddy & Quill, you guys are on a hot streak. Nice work. Healthy looking fish. Looks like I will have more room in my boat as soon as I remove all those non-fish catching lures and all those non-spinning rods and reels. To paraphrase a march madness term "swish, nothing but Ned".
