Today was perfect fishing weather. If you did not get out today, how dare you call yourself a fisher person.
Hit my regular haunt at about 3 PM with the Super Fat Cat in tow. Had a new rubbermaid lid to test out, and decided my back needed a break from the non-inflatable seat in my trusty old ODC-420.
The bank tanglers and bucket brigade sure had the perimeter surrounded today, that's for sure. Still beats dodging the power squadron.
As is becoming habit for me this year, I rigged up one pole wacky (with a new flat head wacky jig), and threw my bobber out on the second pole with a worm.
Just like last time, I might has well have left the worm pole home. Nothing but about 3 6" bluegill on that pole.
Had an OK day with green carp giving my wacky jig a workout. About 7 or 8 baby bass like this (notice the flat wacky jig):
And then a couple of their older brothers like this 16" skinny:
Putted around for a couple hours total and enjoyed the nice weather listening to good tunes on my "fryPod"....Could not have asked for better weather. Could have asked for less people and more fish, but who am I to biiiiaaatCH.
P.S. -- Only one other craft on the water today (a baby bass boat with oars) and 2 anglers, who were of course having pretty good luck with the crappie that are always running away from me.

No road runner trailing happily along?Posted 05-05-2009 at 04:09 PM by holdemplyer

Roadrunners are getting itchy to get out of the tackle box. Did see about 3 boils, and was wishing I had a roadrunner on tipped with a big fat minnow to throw in the fray.....Oh well -- next time.Posted 05-05-2009 at 07:13 PM by GenericAngler
