The Return of the Dink

First the good news:  I headed out this morning to the river and got in 45 minutes of fishing, didn’t donate a single spinner bait to the river  – and managed to catch five bass in that time.  “That’s great!” you say.  Well, yeah, except every single one of them was a dink, and by dink I mean, well, let me show you:

I have no idea what this bass was thinking, going after my 1/2 ounce spinner bait but go after it it did.  The other fish (and I use the term loosely) were all caught on Senkos.

I also saw that yet another pile of garbage had grown over the weekend, 10 feet from the pile I talked about in this comment.  Now it’s time for a cup of hot green tea to help me thaw out.

    5 bass is 5 bass no matter the size. I’d be happy to catch 5 dinks right now since we are going on holiday tomorrow and have sooooo much to do today, there’ll be no fishing for me for a while.

    I’m also seeing those trash piles more regularly in my neck of the woods……sad.

    The only bad thing about catching dinks on Senkos is that they tend to tear up the worm most of the time :(

    Look at Tex’s post “Rocky Mountain High”
    Do you see any large piles of trash nearby?
    I’m not saying that every body of water in the states has a pristine shoreline, but you don’t see too many large piles of garbage, old mattresses, or endless piles of old rotting fishing nets lying around either.
    Actually, lake or river waterfront property is becoming an expensive commodity, and not something that you trash up.
