Launched before daylight and fished for three hours casting jigs, crankbaits, and roadrunners. Only caught one crappie and one bass. Back at landing at 9:45 a lady who had been fishing from the bank was just leaving with twelve nice crappie. I gave her my two fish, tucked my tail between my legs, and came home. Just glad my grandsons weren't there to see it.
No shame there partner...grandsons would've done good seein that...they could've learned a lesson in humility and generosity at the same time. Maybe karma will fill your cooler next time out.
I think I just needed your daughter's lucky earrings.:biggrinQuote:

The Saints looked like they wished they had gone!Quote:

Thanks for posting
No chance of being discouraged. I was really more amused than anything else. Will try again tomorrow. The lady was using shiners and there is a fairly steep drop-off right in front of her fishing spot. Water there goes to 13 feet.
Think I'll go buy a few shiners.
Was she fishing off the pier next to the launch? Try around those short willow tops along the dam.
She was fishing off the pier close to the launch. I'll try along the dam next time I go, probably tomorrow morning. I never made it to the store for shiners today.Quote:

I wasn't really all that worried about it. The post was made to poke fun at myself. Believe me, if it were all about catching I would be disappointed a lot. Truth is, if I'm fishing then I'm having a good time whether I catch anything or not.Quote:
