Went fishing for a few hours this evening.  Took only on rod and reel and bank fished.

Put my line through the level wind eye then threaded it through all the guides.  Tied on a lure.  Turns out I somehow managed to loop the line through the reel frame.   Cut line...start over.  

Threaded the line properly.  Tied on lure.  Instead of cutting off tag end of line, I cut the main line.   Try again.

Make cast.  Crank down beside pier.  Snag, break line, loose Daiwa lure.  Tie on new one, try again.

Change locations.  Swing back for cast.  Not only snag a limb, but manage to tie a knot around it.   Break twig, untangle line, try again.

Cast lure.  Snag lure at end of a bunch of crap a beaver piled up.  Step into water in dry shoes.  Retrieve lure, try again.

Shoe away flies, snag treble hook in finger.  

Pack up, go home.

Deal with chiggers on ankles.

Fishing tonight sucked.

try again  ;D

Some days it doesn't even pay to go out.  

Well, at least you didn't break anything.  I figure any day fishing is a good day when everything works and doesn't break.

1900-0500 four days a week.  

Had one of those last week Micro at my subdivision lake. Got set up out there, anticipating a great day. The beautiful partly cloudy day lasted 30 mins then steady 20 mph wind sprung up, gusting to like 40 blew my little pond prowler into a dead fall. Trolling motor hung up on it just as it started raining. Of course heading back it was INTO the wind and right when I get back to the house, the bottom falls out and it starts pouring.  >

Wow, that's a bad day. I've had an assortment of all of those things happen to me, sometimes more than one of them in a day but never all of them.

Ever have a day where everything you touch turns to poo?

Yep, the day I married my first wife.

at least you didn't punch something ... as in a cinder block wall afterwards, subsequently bloodying up you fist!

with a day like yours, that's how mine would have ended......

i do hereby give you the award of calmness and nonviolence....

congrats on not letting the testosterone get the best of you!!!!

Maybe its a bad night for fishing.

Here's mine tonight.

*barely make it out for peak fishing by the time the boats out suns down and its pretty dark*

Tie line. Test how sharp the hook is by sinking it into my finger.

Cast - Get a bite. Fail to set hook properly.

hour later....

Finally get that big snakehead that was roaming around to bite. before I set the hook my line just snapped in half he barely touched it I still dont know what happened.

Put on second lure and before I cast...

Proceed to almost tip the boat trying to grab my buddies fishing rig he threw in the water in a butter finger moment. Watch it sink to the bottom of the Potomac.

After pulling up weeds for two hours we gave up that we were not getting it back and retired home.

I think tonight was just an unlucky fishing night :-?

I had one of those "Midas Touch" days earlier in the season. With my ADD, I have more of those days than I care to admit. I find, when my trip starts out with multiple blunders, it's better to go home, tie-up the boat, and come out swinging the next day.

I was thinking the EXACT SAME thing.    ;D  I shoulda been runaway groom that day.......

ya i had a day like that this morning had the bubble guts at 5 am lol barely made it to the porta jon outside my trailier and of course no one ever uses it till the day i round the corner to use it before somthing bad happens, and sure enough someone else is walking in. and i banged on the door nicely haha. good times. and then at 9 am sure enough hits me again and guess what lol the TCNS were cleanin the bathroom where i had to go ahhh so unlucky.

I had days like that almost everyday, but for some reason they all went away the day my daughter was born.

Fish 1, Fisherman 0.   ;D
