When they’re biting, they’re biting

Posted by  on 18 May 2006, 8:22 pm

Sorry, no time to blog tonight.  I went fishing right after work to my favorite lake and just got home a little while ago.  Today was one of those days I’ll probably never have again because I caught 16 bass in one and a half hours, which is a record for me.  I must have got into a school or something because four different times, I cast out my lure and before I could put the rod down to cast out my other one (I always use two rods so I can try to figure out what color worm the bass are wanting that day), a fish grabbed the bait as soon as it hit the water and ran with it.  It just doesn’t get any better than that.  But right now, I’m starvin like Marvin and Mrs. Nomad is cooking steak with sauteed mushrooms, so I’m off to dinner and then another episode of Homicide.

    Aaah, nothin’ like ah homecooked meal by teh nice missus after eh hard dey’s werk….yankin’ 16 of em bass fishies on teh way home.

    Nice, going! You’d better memorize the timing, Nomad. It’s probably the perfect time of day for them fishies to go feeding. You think it makes sense?

    Or homebrewed beer. I’m having some right now. First batch of the year because I only brew in spring and fall. It’s either too hot or too cold on the balcony at the other times of year. No sHite for me for a while.

    That’s not fishing… that’s catching. I once took an overnight cattleboat to San Clemente Island and got into some Calico bass action like that. I eventually tired of the bass and tried– in vain– to get some bait down to the bottom to see if I could get something else to bite. But it was a waste of time… a bass would grab the bait each time, practically as soon as it hit the water.

    Bubba, you need a second fridge. I plan on brewing all year. It’s my way of going fishing. Now, if I can get the missus to grill me some steak…

    We are what we eat.

    Then i guess eating these fish could make us the toxic avenger…

    No really its great to have a hobby, but if it kills you or makes you give your wife a child with a penis in his forehead.

    Really is the water you are fishing in clean??????

    Dave, I’d love to do that, but we’re running out of space in my appartement…and we’ve got well over 40 pyeong when you count the front and back balconies.

    Reality 1 OH 1,

    This particular lake is very clean and one of the few I would eat the fish out of. Some of the other places I fish, like the river near Humphreys or the area near Asan Bay – no way. The last two, I’ve had Koreans tell me not to eat the fish because of the pollution in the water. I never take fish home anyway. If I’m by myself, it’s all catch and release but if I’m fishing with someone who wants to keep them, then I make the offer.
