My youngest son had a hankerin' for some pullage, so we dunked the skiff to see what we could find. I knew the tides and time of day weren't going to coincide properly, but when my son wants to go fishing, who am I to say no?

The first spot we pull up to I catch a small pup on the first cast. I thought it was gonna be a great day, but alas, that was the sole catch of the day. We fished hard and hit many areas.

We were in the cove for a while until two idiots in their formula racing boats came into the cove and squatted dead center with their motors rumbling. They had a bunch of people onboard and were making a ruckus. I don't know about ya'll, but when I fish, especially in the cove, I like peace and quiet - it helps me relax. Well, needless to say, I wasn't going to relax with that mess going on.

I forgot to add that we anchored up close enough to shore that my casts were hitting water about 20 feet from shore. I always fish away from the shore guys that are already there, but it's first come, first served. There were no shore anglers anywhere close. We were there about 30 minutes or so when this knucklehead comes around and sets up right where I'm casting. He plainly saw where I was casting and still set his lines there! mad.gif To be fair, he set his rigs on the bottom, but if I decided to let my line sink a little, I would have snagged him. I told the guy that as long as the lines didn't get snagged, we weren't going to have a problem.

Well, all that made me decide to pull anchor (right at the prime time for the tide) and try some other spots. Zero, zip, zilch, nada. I thought I saw Jeff out there in his Mako. Was that you, Jeff? Do any good?

Yeppers That was me, I had a buddy with me and was trying out my new SS prop. ( kicks total ass by the way ) Fished 2 spots and caught a 3lb skunk. And thats it. The tide was dead low which is bad for out there, We threw everything at em but crack. Saw tons of jumping mullet. Good to see you out there.

Fished the river as well Sat and had the pleasure of the two fountains blasting past me a couple of times. Couldn't see where the checkered flag was.

Too many boats in the ditch, didn't want to crowd so I didn't fish it. Tried the cove for about a hour, not a bump. Anchored up off the Jordan bridge down current. Wind and water were ripping and had a hard time setting anchor. When I finally got a set, it was snagged on something...the preverbial "stuck like Chuck" Had to cut the line when I left. Caught 2 rocks - 26 and 29 in. later in the afternoon on pumpkinseed assassin throwing up current and slow bouncing down in between the pilings. Only two hits off the day. Wind was brutal all day.

Going Monday in hopes of less traffic and wind.

Tight lines.

At least I wasn't the only one. That wind was howling, wasn't it? With the weather warming, the ditch won't be as productive much longer. I'll be trying again on Wed.

The real reason jeff got skunkked was he wasn`t on my boat and me giving him a make a wish trip. Was thinking hanging a skunk from his t top but just decided to hide a few bannans in his boat . angry-smiley-013.gif
