Arthur 5/29
Crazy evening at Arthur this Friday. Started with a traffic jam trying to get on 79N at Seneca... must've been graduation. Stuck behind 40mph granny on 79 who then went 70mph on the back road. Pull up to the launch, here comes a 22' Grady White hard top. Pretty sure he got tired of driving and figured "this is close enough to Erie."
Lake was CRAZY windy. Found a nice little perch hole, and the sky opened up on us. Even though the storm cloud wasn't over the lake. SIGH. Ran and hid, then dropped the ladies off and it immediately cleared up. Fished till 11 or so, couple of fish here and there. Head back in, and the launch is FULL of net-tards thrashing the place for bait. Which is fine, I don't have any problem with cast netting. I DO have a problem with them being on the *@$(^$*(@ launches. NO FISHING FROM LAUNCHES. That means 100' around them too, and netting is fishing. And I wouldn't even care that they are throwing between and around the launch, but GTFO the actual launch when a boat comes in. I shouldn't have to dodge you resetting your net to get to my car. Also, these same A-holes parked their truck and boat under the only light and left it there while they cast netted in 4" of water. Ignorant assclowns. No wonder everyone hates cast netters.
Even worse, why are they all right there anyway? The bait is THICK in the lake, like 100 yards from the launch. Go there, throw once, go fishing. I never see any of these guys catch any bait, but every night they are right there in a big pack.
Anyway, lake was packed by the time we pulled out at 11 with still more people headed out. Mid lake looked like the perch pack on Erie. Crazy number of boats. Can't believe these guys don't ram each other and sink.
