Well it was a eventful weekend. The wind was about 15 to 20. And water temps about 41 to 45. Friday morning 50 yards from the launch, lower unit locked up. Thank the lord we were not far out. We figured the day of fishing was shot and not to mention we were looking forward to fishing a tournament on Saturday. Well thanks to a friend he called a guy he knows and he actually had a lower unit that would fit. Well 2 hours and 1500 dollars later we were back on the water. Ouch! Well we were skunked on Friday and Saturday. We tried everything from lipless to slow fishing jigs and spinner baits. Not to mention some crazy old man on a john boat with a 25 HP on the back come screaming by us at 5 mph. Instead of using the 100 yards oh channel behind us, he decided to drive 20 ft between us and the shoreline. He litterly drove right over top of where we were fishing. He wouldn't even look at us. What was his problem? Was he just ignorant or does he hate guys on bass boats? I really wanted to see how a lipless crank bait felt dug into the side of his face as he drove by. It wouldn't been a problem, I'm pretty accurate. But then I would have been as heartless and a poor sport as he was. I didn't even hollar. All in all the weekend could have been a lot worse, but it was hard to think that way while we were going through it.

But you know what they say.

Sounds like a rough weekend! Still a rough day of fishing is better than a good day at work....maybe a tad more expensive though. The old man in the john boat may just not have known any better. Had it been another person in a bass boat I'd be more offended.

That was the Fishing Gods trying to tell you something!

Buy more lures to find the one that works?

He probably didn't want you to fish around there.  Some people feel like they own the water.
