Canyon Lake TX (NOT Choke Canyon) 11/22/06

[FlyRod]

Launched around dawn with an old friend and partner who was finally getting out after prostate surgery. Meant much to me to be out there with him.
I pointed the Pantera for the left finger of Turkey Cove (he made some snide crack about the unlikelihood of success there. That's why he caught five, including a NICE smallie there...) I caught two there, both dinks (See:"Canyon Lake Lunkers").
Tried the right side of the right finger, zilch. Exited the cove and went left down the main lake bluff for mebbe two hundred yards...zilch.
Started across lake to fish north side at park near Jacob's Creek. Too windy, so went back to LEFT side of RIGHT digit of Turkey. I caught seven there, all on Wacky-rigged 5" Tiki Stix (or RiggySticked TikiWacks, what-tever!) He boloed.

Total caught and released: 14
Great day with a good guy. Wonderful to see him doing so well and enjoying his first bassin' trip in several months.

I know the feeling when your fishing buddy takes ill. My buddy was stuck down with lymes and it took six months to get him back fishing. He never lost his touch for the worm and spinnerbait.. Good work ..

Well, if you were a true friend you'd find whomever it wuz that threw them lymes at him and beat the excretia outta da bum! Most folks are unaware that citrus can be deadly! There!

Fly...er, ummmm...Rod!
