I came across a comment on one of the local forums saying that this guy went out to the pond on Friday the 14th and fishing with lures, limited in two hours.
Plan A today was to go out to the Pond and with my Shimano Convergence and a box full of lures, walk around the Pond until I found the school. I made it about 1/4 of they way and then my lower back told me I wasn't going the rest of the way.
I don't know how many of you out there have lower back problems, but I even have trouble making it through the supermarket, if I'm there more than about a 1/2 hour.
So I did the next best thing and that was to get the red Coleman camping chair and park on one of the docks. And there I sat.
Sitting on the dock of the pond. Might make a good song. |
I fished rainbow Power Bait, added some garlic, Kastmasters in all colors, I made my own mouse tail with a chartreuse Power Egg and an orange Power Worm. Nothing worked, that is for me.
In that picture above, I watched a guy pull in three in a matter of ten minutes right under that tall tree in the right hand top of the picture. Over to the left, in that picture, I watched a guy in a boat using a fly rod catch, at least ten. Were there any where I was fishing, of course not. I probably should have noticed that there wasn't anyone fishing on my side of the Pond too, but I didn't. That happens when you get old.
See, nobody |
Everybody's on that side |
There is one guy over on that dock, but he doesn't count because he hadn't caught anything. |
A Heron or something |
Once again, winter fishing had begun.
Between some family needs, some health concerns, and, some time on the road, I have not fished my local ponds since late October. Then it snowed and got down around (-10) degrees at night. Winter season is here in Colorado, too!
ReplyDeleteIn any event, great to see you out on the pond. That is a pretty place, and hopefully, those fish will come around to your side of the pond. I don't really like crowded fishing either.
Clearly, this falls under the umbrella of "You should have been here yesterday." (Or on the other side of the river, lake or stream...) I'm very familiar with this fate.
ReplyDeleteNext time you are going to head out ask me where I'd sit and do the opposite and I bet you limit in an twenty minutes.
ReplyDeleteDon't ya just hate when that happens. Haha! You'll get 'em next time, Mark!
ReplyDeleteMan, I hate when that happens! You should have caught the heron and taken him home for dinner!
