Looks like mother nature dont want us to catch any steel this year

Mother nature hasn't let anyone down.
the fish are there now, Rocky, in several creeks
plenty of guys are catching too and have been for a month.


the fish have been and will continue to come in whether we get a gully washer or not.
(those aren't all the same 25 fish in the project hole that have been there for 3 weeks now)
The reports of duuds slamming them at the The Wall of Nutz is because fresh fish were running

Ya'll stay home waiting/praying  for rain like something miraculous  happens after the sky lets loose.
Keep thinking that you should wait for the rain that you think will bring  mass waves of chrome so thick that the  creeks glitter
While apple knockers like me and some friends continue put steel on the bank


man, I just read what I wrote, I sounded pretty pi$$y, Huh?
Sorry, I'm a little bummed out cause I had well over a dozen bites today.
(and that's just the ones a SAW)
I watched numerous  steelies ranging from 5 to 10 pounds  chase down  and take my bugger and I couldn't land a one.
matter of fact, I never had one on for more than 10 seconds in 4 hours of fishing.

Some days it's just the turn of the hook that makes it a great day of catching
 or a long ride home with the smell of SKUNK emanating from the driver's seat...

Oh man those people are really desprate,they should just tie their line around the big guy and have him run up and down the creek if they need action that bad,a real pathetic scene

Today was even worse.  I took a drive to check out things today and was amazed at the zoo going on down at Walnut.  It's one thing to crowd a spot with some decent flow going through, but today was ridiculous.

A flash bang right into the middle of that would be HILARIOUS....



Lord I apologize for that one right there.

welp, I for one am glad those boys and girls are there!

I say THANK GAWD, for Da Nut access  and project waters!
 or  those folks with the "Manchester mentality" (credit Jiggy Jim Stillhead for coining that term)
Those folks with the Manchester mentality would be crowding others elsewhere

let 'em have it, i say!

genieman, I was makin a joke when i wrote that..meant nothing by it..I like you know that they will run regardless of water..ill be up next week to fish..maybe are paths will cross...

it's cool Rocky.
and it's nothing personal, and no offense intended, i promise.
I really was in a pi$$y mood when i posted that LOL

heck, we'd all like to see rain to get the creeks flowing and fish moving up.
Honestly though, it's more common than not to have skinny water in Sept/early Oct
Outdoorwriter said it best

"it is what it is"

maybe we will cross paths, if we do, i promise to be in a better mood

Right on duud, genie hit it the nail on the head.  Me and two friends had a blast on friday, first "double digit" day of the year for me.  We stopped over da nut in the afternoon and put 5 or so older tired fish on the bank in about an hour.  Not much fun fishing that ditch though.  Fish the wall if you wanna fish Walnut, good action for fresh fish there.  Da boys got em' surrounded in the actual stream itself...  and no fresh fish are making it past the first project hole.
 
Jim,
 
Thanks for the jigs again...  I ended up breaking about 7 of them off to fish though by the end of the day.  You were right about getting frustrated with trying to get those fish in, lol.  Seems like you guys did WAY better than us!
 
Heres a few pics.
 
Laughing at my buddy who almost tripped and fell while taking this picture... haha

 
My friend Shawn with a nice one.

 

 
This fish was a bruiser, poor picture though...

 

 
The rain will come, but until then I'll continue to have fun around the mouths of the streams on fresh fish.  You guys can wait till the rain comes, you can have seconds...  lol

No problem, I'll see if I can't get some more tied up tomorrow.  The new log up there with all the limbs coming off it is an incredible pain.
 
 
 
We struggled for a while at the start, tried fishing the lake in the rollers but only hooked a few.  Had a couple hours here and there after that when we couldn't do anything wrong.

Thats nice making fun of the big guy,

I must of missed the part where they were "making fun" of him.
I didn't feel like re-reading all the posts though.

TransAm made a comment that the dude was "huge"
welp, I'd say that's a fair statement.
as he does indeed look like a big corn fed feller, no?

but you're right.
and  we probably shouldn't be making fun of the "wall of Nutz" peeps  or the "got 'em surrounded" folks fishing in a bath tub either


edit, I just Joker101's comment.
so yea, there were some making fun
