why do i not trust my judgement.
went to the river todat and got 1 pull in an hour and a half.
i didn't see another person the whole time i fished.
i could  have stayed put and maybe waited till a new run moved in.
i could have gone to the hreshly opened petting zoo.
 i could have poked around mid river.
 
but i didn't .
i second guessed myself and went were i was tues.
tues there were 4 cars counting mine.
today 27.
there were fish but little room to fish.
lifters, liners, with a few fishermen mixed in.
fish scared of their own shadow.
i was fed up in about an hour and came home.
i never did feel in sync today.
like i wasn't supposed to be fishing.
like i was never going to figure it out.
very strange day.
i haven't had one like it in a long time.
 
 
 

Sucks getting old!  And it was Thursday, you are in a Tuesday groove.  And word travels fast even without the interweb.  I've heard about that spot from 3 other people who don't normally fish, but saw neighbors or co workers with fish.  Good side is, it can only get better!

The petting zoo or mid to up river would have been good choices,but at least you got out unlike some others including me.I spent the afternoon cutting up trees that Sandy knocked over for firewood.Everytime I spend some time with the chain saw it gives me a appreciation for how hard a logger works.

All those lurkers on the board.

Depends on how I feel.   Sometimes I fight the pressure, sometimes I give up #'s for a little peace.  Really sucks when everyone around you is hooking up and your not, especially if they are rippers

Looking in my tackle bag I'm often torn between two choices for the river. Tazer or bear spray?  Obviously,  you made the wrong choice today. 
Next Tuesday may put you back in form, you were this past one.

Sucks twobob. Did you know the lfz unofficial opening was yesterday 10/31 with only 7 anglers.
I bet it was well above 27 today or maybe they all went to your spot instead.

Geez, and your informant LANDED 20, lots over 10 lbs.  . I think I'll just give up.

I don't doubt the word of a friend I know well. Maybe we should all just give up .

Did I say he was lying?   No.  I'm not giving up, but I am a little bummed I  a picked time when fishing was slow and I can't get back there for awhile.  Next time you whine I'll make sure to call you on it.
