Worked my butt off for 6 bites

lizardsrule · 03-26-06, 08:02 PM

I dislike cold fronts

Fished today for 8.5 hours, after a cold front came through yesterday and today. The wind was about 20 mph all day long to boot. I went to a little pond, approx 5 acres. It was 18' at the deepest

I threw cranks(caught 1 dink on a Bomber B crawdad color), spinners, c-rig, weightless, drop shot, t-rigged(caught 3, 2 dinks and a 14" on Baby Paca Craw, greenpumpkin), topwater, jerkbaits. I sight fished for about 2 hours on 3 monsters, but they wouldn't even look at my bait(it was tough with the wind mind you

). I missed one other bite, and hooked into what felt like a nice fish, only to have it immediately wrap me on a tree and get loose.

I can tell you I worked my a@@ off all day just to get those six bites. Felt good to go fishing, but it was actually cold on the water, with the wind and temps

. So for all of you who whine about not catching fish for going out for a couple of hours, I have absolutely no sympathy. Fish hard, and have fun

no matter the results.

I have no sympathy for a man who fishes 8.5 hours and can't catch more than 3 fish..especially without one being over 14"..IN FLORIDA!

Hey, if you don't work your butt off for the boss, might as well do it for the bass.

Seems like every day that it isn't rainy and freezing here in KY, the wind is blowing at a constant 20-40mph. Oddly enough, the cold as balls days come with no wind at all..God likes to play tricks on me!

Lizards, Spring is finally here in NY , It was sunny and close to 50 degrees yesterday, Its supposed to get in the 60's this week. I probably won't be here much on the site if the water temp starts climbing. It was 40 degrees give or take a degree or two depending on where I was on the lake.I fished Sunday morning, zeroed on the bass count, but I did catch a crappie and a pickerel, but it was so cold,windy, I knew I was just casting my Daiwas to practice.
