What a better Monday

Post by Aggroman »

Grabbed the canoe and headed south a few miles yesterday. Got on the water at 8:15am and had my first fish by 8:25. It was nice to get back on the river. No phone calls, no emergencies, no broken bones. I couldn't of asked for a nicer day. The wind was howling, but didn't effect me that much. I was out of the boat wade fishing more than I was in, but I was glad I have an anchor trolley for the bigger pools. Caught a total of 11 for the day. Biggest was just above 4 lbs according to my new digital scale. There were a bunch of little ones, but fun all the same. Even caught a channel cat on a senko, that was a surprise. Got back to the truck about 1pm. It was really shady most the trip. This was my first trip down this stretch of the s. concho this year. (sad, I usually have at least a dozen by now.) I had a great time and much needed r&r on the river.

You're welcome Scott.

The main thing Aggro wanted to learn was the "I'm too sexy" pose. We worked on that thing for hours and days and a few more minutes until I just wanted to slap the fins off his little mermaid behind. If he weren't so concerned with snatching a Keystone Light out of my cooler, we could have achieved better results.

Oh, BTW, nice fish Scott! :clap:

Hi, i'm Scott and i'm a wayward angler.

Thanks guys, yeah it was nice to get out again down there. I used the canoe because I wasn't sure of water levels either and didn't want to tear my yak. Ends up the water is up just fine. I didn't drag where I had last year, it was good to see. FYI, all fish were caught between 8-11, they completely turned off after that. I wacky rigged most my stuff and went through about a dozen hooks....not getting hung up under the water either. All were lost in the trees ( :oops: ). Bought a couple new rods and was breaking them in. For every 10 great casts, I would chunk one up and immediately get hung, then break. :evil: BTW, don't start with the maple leaf thing again... :lol: :lol: :lol:

And yes, I owe so much to Bigrock for re-training me. With Bill's training I was comfortable not wearing drawers while fishing, but Bigrock showed me the error of my ways. And now I can fish, happy and clothed, and still be sexy. For that i'm eternally grateful. :D

Nicholas is doing great Earl, thx for asking, he got his new cast on for another 2 weeks, then hopefully, they take the pins out, then the final cast for 4-6 more weeks.

Have a good one,
Scott

The only error is wearing undergarments while fishing!
