Super User Darth-Baiter Posted May 14 Super User Share Posted May 14 I couldn’t fish Saturday because my allergies were epic. I thought I had Covid! I didn’t, and my allergy med finally got the upper hand. I told myself, “okay D-B, set the alarm for 3:30 am; and if you feel fine - go!” I woke up before my alarm and my cough was kinda gone. My eyes were red, but I figured I don't understand? I got eye drops from doc anyways. I drove and drove and got to the ramp. It was empty. I paid my fees and launched kayak. I cross the lake and got one dink. I came back across, and my instinct was, “why did I leave?” I went back. Water was super clear. I could see the lake bottom 11 feet down. I just started casting far. It was dink-fest but I stayed with it. The occasional 3lb fish would bite. I fished and fished. At 9:30, the dinks left and nothing but 3’s and 4’s were there. It turned on. I was catching. A couple of fly fishing guys were also catching. One of them yells. ‘Looks like we’re invited to brunch!” It was so fun. The bass boat guys didn’t catch. I think the fish were wary of their boats in the clear water. Dunno. at noon, I called it. The dinks decimated my bait supply anyways. I got them on creatures, cranks…and one jig fish. I think I got 10 3-4’s and countless dinks. Lake was en fuego. As a bonus, I was surrounded with a herd of 200ish elk. It was stunning. And some bird of pray kept dive bombing fish around me. It looked like an eagle. I loved fishing solo today. No pressure of hoping my friends catch fish. It was nice making it all about myself. :D 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
