Saturday was one of those days I couldn't wait to get on the water. Got out a little late as I had chores to do and arrived at the ramp around 9. Went out to catch bait and caught a bazillion peanuts in every throw and couldn't find a decent gizzard. Finally caught a handful of decent baits(dollar bills)and should have went fishing. But hell no, I needed bigger bait. Didn't find bigger bait but did find something big on the bottom with my 10' wade net. Needless to say it is done. Should have went fishing, right? Nope, got out my back-up fitec and commenced to ripping it to shreds too. I finally got the message and decided to drag some bait. Bait was pretty small so I changed my hooks and baited up my first rod and the tm plug decided to take a crap on me. Had a few choice words at that moment that I will not share with y'all. Messed around with it and was able to get it going long enough to get 4 light line boards a free line and float line out. Marked a few fish around me but no takers on the first pass. Decided to take a second pass and it turned out to be the only good decision of the day. Caught 3 fish on the second pass and had one break me off. Wind was howling at that point and I tried to find a place that was hidden from the wind. Yep. I left fish for comfort and I know better than that. Never had a sniff after that. Took a long boat ride in rough water and it like to have killed my already badly bruised backside. Good thing was I got to ride back in that crap. Had plans to fish today (Sunday) but I can't walk!
