Mondays ain’t that bad either

I almost slept in this morning because I figured that after those hard rains we had on Saturday, the river would be high and stained – and I was correct on both counts.  The water level is so high that I couldn’t get down to the spots I usually fish, and the water was the color of chocolate milk.  On top of that, there was a brisk breeze blowing in my face.  However, the bass didn’t seem to mind the conditions too much.

The fish on the left was caught on a 5-inch Senko, black with blue flakes, and the one on the right was caught on a white/red spinner bait.  I also caught two dinks, and had one bass on a spinner bait that jumped and threw the lure about 2 feet from shore, just as I was about to reach down to grab it.  Unfortunately, it’s supposed to rain again today, tonight and on Thursday which will put a damper on my fishing activities but the good news is that these fronts will bring some nice cool weather, which I’m sure we’re all looking forward to.

    I know what you’re going to say (“The fish have to eat”) but I’ll tell you, once I got there and saw what the water looked like, I didn’t think I had a prayer. Just goes to show you…

    Nomad is unstoppable…..I’m going to have to get a lot of practice in before fishing with you!!!! :lol:

    When are you getting your boat Nomad. You know that fall fishing from a boat will be awesome!!!!

    Well Steve, I have to talk to my higher headquarters about the boat and then Mike is going to go to Suwon with me to show me where this place is…hopefully I’ll be getting it within the next month or so…

    Good luck with the higher ‘wife’ headquarters :???:

    No worries, I always talk a major purchase like that over with my wife first. She knows how much I love fishing, since it’s really the only vice I have anymore and she knows how badly I want a boat so I’m pretty confident that although she may grumble a little bit, she’ll give me the green light :)

    Hopefully you will have your new boat before I make it up there :wink:
