I was worried that the water would be really stained after the rains we had this weekend, but it actually wasn’t to bad out there, although the parking area and shore were both a muddy mess. And 5 minutes after I started fishing, a pretty good wind picked up and didn’t let up until it was almost time to head to work.
I caught the above on a black grape-colored, 5-inch Salty Trick Stick from Alluring Baits. I thought the water was going to be really muddy so I had put a glass bead on the line to make a little noise as I was reeling in, not sure if it made any difference or not.
After I caught that first one, the wind really picked up so I switched to spinnerbaits but only managed to catch this one – and I must have hit that fish in the head with the lure because it grabbed the spinnerbait after I had only reeled in about a foot or two. Shortly after that, a carload of carp fishermen showed up, 5 of them to be exact and they proceeded to set up right next to me, like I wasn’t there. Two to the left and three to the right, which made fishing impossible so I packed up and moved down the way a bit for the remaining time I had out there.
Gotta love the Korean carp fishermen. One day, you have to just intentionally throw across all 50 of their lines with a cheap weight and a trebble hook. Once you get everything nice and tangled, you just cut your line and walk away.
While they were setting up, I stood there thinking, “are they ignorant, extremely rude, or both?” They honestly acted like I wasn’t even there…and to them, I probably wasn’t, with me being an American BASS fisherman and all
LOL Dave!!!!
Good idea Dave
and nice catches Nomad
