Played hooky yesterday at work (my boss don't fish so they won't see this post)> I had planned to go Saturday but when I got up the flag at my house was blowing straight out so I just went back to bed. Anyway I thought about going to Dead Lake but I heard everybody had been doing so good at Lochloosa that I changed my plan (since I still work unlike you professional retired guys) I wanted to go where I thought I had the best chance of catching some fish. So I take off work Tuesday since the weather report said light winds and it was 4 days after the full moon. Should be a great day! It was if you like catching sardine sized fish!I threw back 10 fish 7" or less (or possibly caught he same small fish 10 times)on six different rods with different colors of jigs.
I was fishing outside the pads right where they should have been (but somebody forgot to tell them where they were supposed to be)! I go back to the ramp at about 2PM and I strike up a conversation with another crappie fisherman (I could tell by the rod holders) He says he didn't do so good either (here's when I start to feel a little better about not catching any keepers) Then he says he'll be back tomorrow. I tell him I gotta go to work. Then he gives me the gut shot....."Oh I'm done with That"
So for all of you that are retired remember that a bad day fishing..... don't exist unless your boat sinks!!!
