Rippin Lip 7/9 fluke it
« on: July 10, 2013, 12:05:10 AM »
First time out since my surgery. Never fished with a cast on my arm before, but couldn't stay in the house much longer.Got to the marina around 630. looking to get a jump on the heat. Wheres the boat? Oh there it is, still in the rack. thud Finally got out around 8. Headed to the usual spot. 2 fish 2 keepers. one that was almost as fat as it was long. Got snagged on the bottom 4 times in a spot that I have drifted over a dozen times this year with no issue.  Started getting hot so headed out to the cool side fought a fast drift and 5- 4'dogs with a couple shorts mixed in.started feeling a little loopy. I think from the meds the past couple weeks. so went back around the tip, not before putting one more in the box. did a couple more drifts by the ammo pier with some shorts and a blue that took a round about tour of the motor. Couldn't take the heat anymore and my arm was starting to swell. Back to the dock around 2. Thought there would be a little more of a breeze today. Guess not. I did manage to keep my cast from smelling like fish thanks to pops taking all the hooks out.
The secret to catching fish is, to fish, where the fish are.
