Not sure if this should be under "fish stories" or here - but it is a story
a friend told me yesterday, about bream fishing. Wanted to know if any
of you had ever heard of / seen / done this? The story goes, they were
fishing from the bank in a clear, shallow pond. Came up on a huge bed of
shellcrackers, but no matter what bait they tried, or how low and quiet they
approached, the fish just wouldn't bite. So the old man my friend was fishing
with, pulls out his pocketknife and cuts a bunch of willow limbs, sticking them
in the ground in front of them, kind of a ground blind like you were hunting.
Said after sitting quiet behind it for a good while, they flipped a cricket out,
and BANG! got bit. Said they sat there behind their blind and caught 90 something. Made a heck of a fish story anyway!
