The Safari Hat and Her

[Ketchn]

"Can I borrow a hat " ? she asked
"Sure , here is my legendary world traveled beyond super lucky Safari hat " said me
" What pole would you like today " ? said me
" I want the Barbie pole please " said she
Mind you this folks ,she has whipped more fish with that combo than some folks will ever ketch . She prefers that set up over the many I have and to be sure some of the stuff in my possession is what is considered by some as good tackle .
I know one fella drove from the other side of the lake over to where we were after watching her sling fish yesterday . So if you ever run across us along the path , beware and don't think it's a joke if you see some lady looking serious with a pink Barbie pole combo in her hand. She can dish out some humble pie in a heart beat with it I promise !
Particulars are this 75 water temp . fish parked on the bottom and NOT cooperative . sunshine here and there and then storms rolling thru every 30 to 45 minutes . Depth was around 15 foot of water and the lake was up about 4 feet from normal . Water clarity was good and the bite was so terribly light you never did feel a take . We were after coppernose bluegill and using tiny jigs and tiny earl campbell sausage strips , with a berkley crappie nibble sometimes added just because . 6 lb clear zebco mono btw
It took us a good bit to get bit as we had to figure out why they wouldn't bite and where they were .
The good news is we did ketch a few fish and she beat me on size on the bluegill and the crappie , I finally pulled ahead by one bluegill on the final count and along came the thunder and wind and we just about got beat down by a huge storm ,so off we went .
