Very Bad Day Fishing!

[RatLTrap]

I had the worse day I could ever have! first off I had a big bass on, and he came unhooked, and i couldnt get him to bite again!, then I had another fish on, and broke my line, with my last booyah jig! then i lose my favorite spinnerbait, and then i get my buzzbait hung up in the tree, and lose it, and then i lost another spinnerbait, and then a guy in a boat caught a 6 pound bass right infront of me where i was fishing, so i just threw my rods, and quit.

Ratl, we all go through that sometimes. I would get so pissed that I'd want to throw my rods in the lake but with my luck and being in a float tube, I would probably miss the lake. Just hang in there.

[crankybait]

hey man, its ok. ive gotten skunked oh so many times that even hooking into a fish but breaking my line would feel great

[Wishing2BFishing]

Ratl, don't let the bad stuff "rattle" you. I have some bad starts but eventually salvage the day and catch some good fish.

Over the weekend, I was rowing and broke an oar. I was stuck on the other side of the lake and had to row back against the wind with one oar. Before doing so, I fished the spot where I was at and managed to catch a few. Because I caught some, I feel that I was able to salvage the outing.

Yeah, I dont have a boat, and I have to walk in high weeds, with lots of snakes, and im scared to death of snakes haha. If i had a nice bass boat it would be so much easier! probably would have a better time too.

Well I think ill head out again later this evening, and try to make up for it.

[crankybait]

well try writing to basstech, you never know lol

[NCYankee]

I feel ya on the weeds. The places I go are seriously infested with ticks. I've run through a couple of nests. I've had literally hundreds of ticks on me at once. The things we do. I can only dream of the day I own a boat.

[RatLTrap]

Yeah one day I will own me a really nice boat, I dont want some jon boat, I want a nice big shiny red bass boat, one that I can enjoy fishing off of.

Trap, see your previous posts. Days like that keep you coming back after days like you had today. Been there, done that many times and will probably have it happen to me again.

[bass kicker]

a bad day of fishing is better then a good day of work

[dodgeguy]

hey dude,there's nothing wrong with a rowboat to start.up here in n.y. if you want to fish the n.y.c. reservoirs you can only use a rowboat.these reservoirs contain some of the best fishing in the state.it beats the snot out of shore fishing and you can get a decent used rowboat for $400.

We've used the same rowboat for 20 years at one lake....it sometimes gets to my shoulders on windy days but a lot of fun and good excersise...i get tired of anchoring on windy days and then moving around alot, but its worth it to get out and fish the reeds on this place.

[crankybait]

yeah, rowboats aint bad. i used a row boat at lake vanare, wasnt that hard. you get a good workout anyway. but my dad promised me a nice bassboat if i make it into yale, harvard, dartmouth, or johns hopkins medical. so now ill just study as hard as i can for the next 4 years, and bingo! bassboat!

Beat me to it again MASTER Trap you've been posting pics like crazy, and catching some really nice Bass, and then you had a bad day. At least you can still fish, and aren't laying in a Hospital somewhere. Just remember you couldn't even fish a couple months ago because of the ice, now at least you can give it a go.

lol your dad tricked you. If you get into any of those schools, you won't have time to bass fish. Your dad is a smart man.

[crankybait]

oh damn your'e probably right... worked for the highschools, i figured i could do the same thing here. maybe i wnot even be able to fish that much enxt year... thats a scary thought

[RatLTrap]

Crank why don't you just get a job assoon as your old enough, and buy yourself one?

[crankybait]

id have to wait till im 16. i skipped a year of school, so im a year younger than everybody else in my grade. that means i have to wait three years. and in three years, ill be a junior. so id only have one year to work in a job, and i doubt id make 15k. i do voluntary work over the summer though

[Rat-L-Trapper]

Everybody has those days unfortunately, I just had one yesterday as a matter of fact. I had what looked to be about a 2-3 pounder on and as soon as I got him close to the bank he jumped off, but like they say...that's why they call it fishin, and not catchin'...lol

[RatLTrap]

Are you like the young RatLTrap, or a one of my many fans?

[Rat-L-Trapper]

No, it's just my favorite lure...I just joined today and didn't even know that someone already had a name similar...sorry dude

[scrap]

went fishing the other day, and pulled into the boat ramp to park, and the timing belt on my car broke, thirty miles from home and fishing gear in the car that is worth more than the car. i said "rats". someone came along, got a ride home, called a tow truck and by evening i had the car home. i didnt get to fish, but, my stuff was not stolen. that would have p.o.'d me more. how was your day?

[dodgeguy]

O.k.,that Really Stinks.:d

[Rodman_Rob]

I was gonna say it coulda been worse, but losing your favorite spinner and last jig, it can't get too much worse than that could it?
