Where do you fish when your not down south?
I know you don,t stop so just where do you fish,rivers,lakes the northern salt,I found the striper fishing not as advertised I,m about 10 years late
maybe more but I,m learning how to give the smallmouth hell,they and big bows are my sweetwater favorites.
Fially got out the other day thought I would share the outing with you.
Got there at first light and started throwing the Spook on one of my favorite coves on the AZ. side,its been awhile since I worked a Spook and
missed two straight half-hearted blow ups in the first hour then nothing for the next hour.
I suffer from tunnel vision when I,m throwing my favorite lures and stay with them for to long when I should be trying something else such it is with
Kastmasters and Spooks in freshwater,if they don,t work I figure its time to go home
Not this day been using the original spook to start with no luck opened the tackle for one last look and spotted a Spook puppy a sexy little 3" frog
which worked great up north on smallmouth and crappie,what the hell why not give it short try before I leave and I'll try that little shallow rocky
pointe.
The Pup is to light for the baitcaster so I rigged it on a light spinner with 4# used it that way before why not today,first damn cast and just
getting used to the change when a good smallie made an aerial attack and I nearly dropped my rod whoa!! one more cast and again an explosion missed
him! what the hell settle down boy finally hooked one,what fun these fish are,big native Bows and Smallmouth my two favorites in freshwater,ened up
getting four and lost count of the misses,all were 2 or 2 1/2 and I nearly went home,the Lake Mohave Smallies are alive and well.........The end
Rob
This took place at Lake Mohave,just where do you fish when your not down south?
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

I fish Mexico 24/7 in my mind. Do I need to get a life?

Will turn 79 next month which means I probably been fishing for something somewhere for over 70 years and I think I have a few left,fished in some
interesting places tho I think my crowning achievement was perhaps the world longest troll 2500 miles in all,Hawaii to Eniwetok Atoll and thats where
I met my first Dorado,2500 miles gotta be a world record

Ok, this may sound weird, but I fish in my dreams.
In the carpet.
The fish are swimming in the carpet and I can cast right to them and watch them take my lure.
Sometimes I'll be sitting on the couch when a fish will come swimming out from underneath. I'll grab my rod and drop a bait down between the couch
and the coffee table and FISH ON.
Reel, reel, reel, reel!
This is not a one time dream. I have carpet fishing dreams often.
This past winter we were in Bahia and the halibut were right on the shore. It was dajavu all over again, just like in my dreams, it was there, I could
see it and BAM, it would take my lure.
I need to fish.
