My boat is non op and my buddy invited me to go fishing a couple of days this week.  Wednesday we fished from noon til 5 and I didn't get a bite, my buddy caught 6 bass that probably weighed under 2 lbs.  Today, Friday, we caught 5 bass with 4 good Alabama Bass.  I lost one at the boat.  It was blowing all day so we both threw spinnerbaits.  My buddy caught one and I picked up a worm and caught one.  I lost one at the boat but landed 2 both on a worm.

 

Alex, I'm happy whenever you go fishing, regardless of what you catch or don't catch. And when you do catch bass, I'm even happier!

That's a couple off good trips! Glad you have a good friend who can get you out.
