I hope everyone has a chance to get out this weekend. It stinks when you get "land locked" when the weather is suppose to be nice. [
] I know here, it's suppose to be around the mid 70'S all weekend, so it's perfect. [cool] I don't think i'll make it to the ocean as it's calling for 5' seas. That's just enough to make it not fun. You can't fish when you're spending the entire time trying to hold on to something. LOL
I just hope the river isn't as busy as it was last weekend. There must have been 30 boats in only a couple mile stretch of river. That might not sound like much, but this river is small, barely a 100 yards wide. It makes it hard to fish when there are a bunch of Goones flying around. [crazy] I can't stand a disrespectful boater. You're suppose to slow down when you go by an anchored boat, not these guys. Sometimes I wish they had forgotten to put the plug in. [
]
I hope to get a couple nice cats for the frying pan! Sorry james, I know you're hard core catch and release. [
] I mostly catch and release too. I let go all the bass I catch, I keep all the crappie I catch, and only catch bream for live bait. I also let go most of the catfish I catch, and only keep one or two to feed the hungry mouths. I'm picky though. I never keep the big ones. I figure they did something right to live as long as they did to get big, so I let them go to catch another day. I'll keep anything between 10 and 20 pounds. Anything smaller I let go to grow, anything bigger, refer to the last sentence. [cool] And after two they all get put back.
I'm going to have the camera with me this weekend as well, granted I get on the water. If nothing else, i'll take a couple pictures of the river and maybe I can get one of my ugly mug and a nice cat.
