A friend of mine and I put in near "The Garden" subdivision around 10:00 AM. We fished south with a 10-15 mph north wind at our back. He just got a new yak and fished from that, but I was just shufflled around. With my shiny new Super Spook, I stepped in near one of the many piers that IKE claimed in the area and felt the thump of a strong trout on only my second cast. I naturally thought it was going to be one of those days that keeps me coming back. I set the hook and began letting the drag out while she ran across the horizon. She lept from the water and I could tell that she wasn't a wall hanger but undoubtadly a great fish. When she landed, she sprinted away from me directly toward the skeleton of the old peir. Just before my thumb could get back to tighten the drag, she had run around a piling and sawed off my fluorocarbon leader. Well...dammit. I reeled in the long weightless line...with no fish...no plug... yet slightly excited about the fish that were SURE to come...I spent the next several hours casting everything that I had in every way I knew how into seemingly nothing...Why do I do this to myslef? Oh yeah...And right when I get into the truck around dark I turn on 610 and find out that Mike Leach is suspended indefinitely...

Good news is you know a spot that has a tendancy to hold a good trout, and one that likes to eat topwater in the winter. some locations won't produce on top much during the winter, so when you find those that do, it's worth going back.http://www.theshallowist.com

Go hit it and think what a spoiled little brat's daddy's crying did to a good coach. POS James. Good fishing!"Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.
