first trip of the year
Made the trip up to fish Tuesday ,Weds and Thursday, the usual spots were crowded as usual but I was able to find less crowded conditions with a little walking , Tuesday was windy, Wednesday and Thursday was nice weather. My best day was weds played with quite a few and landed some.
For the most part the people I ran into were real nice although on weds. I did have a guy come in right below me and really worked his best to snag one but was was not successful in doing so , he was quite blantant with his snagging technique. On Thursday he was right in the area I was weds so I went in below him, although slower day I did get a few, he was still thrashing away with no results. I tried to have a casual conversation with him in the hopes that I could help a little but he was not interested ,, his buddy came over. We talked gave him a few ideas to try and he did get one later on which I netted for him he was thrilled tooked all types of pictures for his son ,, and he really wanted to make sure it was released healthy, so I helped him with that. , maybe he will be able to talk to his buddy . I did not say anything to him about his buddy, just enjoyed the moment with him... but to be honest I was glad to see fishing out performed snagging on those 2 days .
I tried my new switch rod , it is obvious I need to spend some more time on local waters practicing , I would like to say is was because the water level being 1200 was the cause , but it was not, it was because I suck at it .
Will head down next week to fish for some Atlantics and I am only bringing the switch, that way I will have to stick with it .
All in all a great first trip of the year , be back in a few weeks
