Possible name change in blog

I have been getting a ton of spam links going to my blog, so if I can't find a way to stop it I may be switching links or something, hopefully I can keep all the posts I have written, not sure what to do at the moment. Guess I will have to look around and see what I can do.

Soft striking fish

Are the biggest pain in the arse. Man I can't stand them, missed probably 20 due to how soft and fast they hit. I really like when they hit and you know stay on for more than 1/2 a second. Landed 12 today on a bunch of different stuff. Shrimp pattern, Green Copper John, Scud, and a Rainbow warrior and 2 on my spinning rod. Biggest was around 15 inches, smallest, was pretty damn small.

It only takes 3 guys to ruin a good day...

Thursday I was free from school like normally and decided to go and help stock Pike run again. Did all the normal stuff, threw some fish in the water, you know how it is. After it was all done I fished the last hole we stocked since no one was there. Didn't take to long for that to change, 3 vehicles in about 5 minutes arrived so I decided to bounce and head back to the DHALO section of the creek. Had the hole all to myself when 2 guys and 2 of their kids came down to the hole, no big deal normally. They then pulled out the bait and started using it, I couldn't believe it, they had actually helped stock the creek and now where doing whatever the hell they pleased. I told them they weren't allowed to use corn in the DHALO section, there reply? "I asked the warden, he said you can use corn to fish for trout." Ya you can fish for trout with it, but only where you can fish with bait. They said they didn't realize it was a DHALO section and would head out. But I got frustrated and left before them just hoping they would leave. Talked to a guy the day after who told them about an hour after me that they couldn't use corn there, guess they didn't leave.

Went up to a different hole and was again alone, caught a few there then a man and his 2 kids came down and believe it or not they were using bait. There are about 10 different signs at this hole that the guy apparently didn't see when he walked in after his kids. He then asked if it was a DHALO section which I replied yes to and then he told his kids they would have to leave as he stood there and casted in. I was just dumbfounded and started getting ticked. Then sure enough, like the world new I was already mad, his kid caught a fish that swallowed the hook. Well being good ol dad, don't want to waste a 15 cent hook, he tries to rip it out of the fishes throat, and after about 5 minutes he fails and cuts the line, proceeds to throw the fish out watch it go belly up and then watch his kid kick it. He immediately left after this. What a waste, I was so pissed at him it was unbelievable. Ended up with 17 fish that day, but didn't catch a single fish after the run in with that guy.


I did go out the next day and luckily had a much better day. Only caught thirteen trout and a big sucker, but had a good time bull shitting with 2 guys I met out there. I also caught that 18 incher that I caught about a month ago again, CPR(Catch Photo Release) really works. And I did find out that the 2 wardens out there busted 4 guys for bait in the DHALO section, not the guys the pissed me off sadly. but at least it is something. Found out the one officer was sitting in the woods watching the guys.

Bad picture of the trout, it flopped out of my hand a second before the picture snapped and being stupid I just had to retake it.

Hanging with my bro

Kind of a late post but oh well. Went to Pigeon again with my brother Sunday to try and catch a few more bass. I missed a 18 or so inch largemouth who was really fat, I was not to happy about that. He then missed about a 15 inch largemouth when his reel messed up on him. Stuff happens I guess? Only landed two and he landed a small one and a few bluegill.

On a side note, I have not been fly fishing at all lately and really should get back out and do some of that, but it is really hard to beat these bass.

The last of the minnows

Went back out with my bro to waste the rest of the minnow, sadly he didn't get any bass, but he did have fun catching bluegill. I know that feeling all to well. I landed three more and lost a few nice ones to a beaver dam.

Man I love bass

Went down to pigeon last night and again today, landed 1 and then 3. I caught the one last night on a black and chartreuse grub and the ones from today on big ol' shiners. They were very very sluggish after the big cold front that went through. You could barely tell when they hit it.

Freshwater drum

That sounds a lot better than sheepshead, caught two of these guys when I went back. Saw a few other fish landed, not to much though.
