He laughed at ME !

When he asked where I was going and I said down to the fishing dock .:yikes
He proceeded to tell me nobody is ketchn fish down there right now .:yikes
Then he said they have not been biting in weeks at that lake .:yikes
he told me its because its to hot right now . :yikes
I said well then it wont be crowded I suppose . :yikes
And he laughed some more as he glanced down there and said bud I think you have it to yourself .:yikes
I was about like a kid on Christmas day as I drove off towards that dock .I even giggled a bit when I rolled up on the sea of waves and not a soul around .
I hurried myself down that ramp with my favorite 7 footer and a jig I had tied on from the other day .
BECAUSE I knew this about that ! I was about to sling fish like a tv fishing show and that aint no joke yawl . I started with a 1/32 black head white body white tail jig and I never looked back . I got bit first drop and it continued until I was tired of ketchn them . :highfive
Now mind you I never really felt many bites and lots of times there was just fish on the jig when I would move the jig or rocked with the waves on the floating dock . They wanted it jigged around and drug along and most were about 3 foot off the bottom in 16 foot of water .
I ketched fish on all 4 sides of the dock and inside the dock as well .Lots of keeper sized fish in the mix and took photos and had a great time all alone out there in that heat .
Never be discouraged when someone says they aint biting is the moral of this story .
Many a times some of my bestus sling festival adventures are "when they aint biting "
KABOOM is the word and yes all 52 of them in an hour and a half got set free :highfive

I really like it when everyone says "they ain't biting." I don't let that bother me if I'm in notion to go, I go right ahead. Now,just imagine if they had been biting the slaying that could have ensued!��

You are the man, congrats!

there are lots of little ( about a foot & half square ) schools of crappie and bass (at least i think thats what they are ) i know they aint top minnows , maybe some bream too , about 1 inch long all throughout my slew...the slew averages about 50 yards wide and 8 feet deep in the channel....and lots of spider-type webs with grubs in them in the limbs of the trees on the banks...willow fly's were thick about two weeks ago... i have tried to match the color and size of my jigs to to them and that seems to work pretty good...i am to lazy to bring a cane pole and pull the webs down , and shaking the limbs for willow fly's just brings about a cloud , that fly's off to the next tree , but the red-breasts were jumping with joy when i shook the limb !!....i am going to try and order some tiny crank baits to mimic the little fish in the schools , ....the fish i catch are not big , but they are tons of fun to catch on my little bitty rods and reels....the 2 lb channel cat i caught yesterday had my extra extra light rod bent into a U........really like your fish pictures and stories !............p.s. i have only seen one boat in my slew in the past three weeks or so , but that is allright !!!!

Good day!

Negative reports are always a inspiration to go set that hook..... Nice Catches....

Dang at the waves in one of the pictures.

My negative reports are only observations for my lake and certainly do not keep me from going back again and again. I also know many tips and techniques offered by others (Ketchn and SK) work and am sincere about trying as many as I can. I just enjoy getting better at my favorite sport

Nice way to follow through on your experience and feel so good about it.
I can remember one time standing at the ramp next to a guy telling me they ain't biting this week. All the while they were really flopping around in the live well. :Rofl

Awesome [emoji1490] that the way to show them!

Way to go. Good catch

Awesome man! Can't beat that. I thought I knew the spot until you said inside the dock too.

Nice catch.

You sure did good for the fish not to be biting. Just have to get out and try it yourself.

have noticed that if you listen to reports they ain't biting and don't put a jig in the water they are correct. but if you do have a line in water sometimes you Ketch. at least it's better than watching TV.

Your favorite word applies.....KABOOM!!!
