Bust!

[BassFeverJohn]

After 12 days of being dog sick, I finally felt good enough to go out this morning. My last day out was on the 1st. That's 11 days of sitting around dreaming about fishing. For 11 days I played with my gear, bought a few new lures, and pretended to cast my new casting rig.

BUST!

Not one fish. Had a very weak strike on a white beetle spin, but nothing else. And to top it off, I snagged up and lost that spinner on the next cast. I threw everything I had at them. I even went top water, no luck.

Oh well, I may go again this evening. Maybe they will be a bit more cooperative.

That's rough, John!
I went like 2 weeks and only caught fish on 1 outing. Mine's back now, yours will be too.
By the way.....wallyworld sells them bettle spins for .96

Shoot John! Better luck next time though right?!

Some seem to last for years at a time.

I fell asleep around 5pm. I had a big day for a sick guy. Spent a few hours at the mall, and went to a local spot with the GF to toss the B-spins for about an hour. I was so beat when I got home I barely lasted an hour before I fell asleep. I got a good reminder that I am still quite sick.

All that aside, we are going out tomorrow in the evening! Sickness be damned, I gotta fish!

I actually pulled one in today. Posted a pic on the bragging board.

Its been pretty bad across a lot of North FL... even the decent size bluegill have shut down when normally this time of year they eat pretty much anything including the occasional bare hook.
I did get a nice fat 10" bass yesterday along a rarely fished creek area. Almost looked like it was ready for a second spawn with the fat belly.

Time before last, I got hits on nearly every cast and caught 8 fish. 8-10" smallmouth bass mostly...dinks for sure with no braggin rights, but fun to catch.
Last time out, beautiful pictures, fish finder was gonnin nuts, but few bites and only caught a small bluegill.

But I know the secret.....shhhh
You gotta be in the right place, at the right time, throwin the right bait at the right depth, the right way. Nuthin to it really

Better luck next time out.

I'm going out this evening with the GF. Hoping for a better go of it this time. I went out Monday with no hits at all. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.

Oh, man, you mean you have to actually do something right to catch a fish!? That's it, I give up!

I caught a 21" bass last week, last time I went in an unfished oxbow off a coastal river. I really think you have to get away from people during these hot times like you did.

I have a hard time getting away from over fished areas. I don't have a boat, and there are not a ton of good choices around here. It sucks to be me right now...
