My brother is bad luck! I don't know how else to say it. Now that I've said it, I am sorry to everyone that was affected by his presence at Rockport yesterday. Friday the 13th.
How is it that I can have great days every time there, but when I take him, skunk city? I have been trying to get him up there with me, telling him how good the fishing has been, but he has always been working. Finally get him up there, and he ruins it all.
I should have known though. I only have myself to blame. I took him to a spot that had been consistently producing for me at Strawberry, he worked his magic. Black (skunk) magic. I did manage to sneak 3 quick ones in before he got going.
Yesterday, it wasn't just me that was affected. I talked to several people near us, and they weren't catching anything either. I talked to one guy that walked over from the east side of the lake with his son because he said nobody was catching anything over there. Apparently, my brother's magic is getting stronger.
So again, I apologize. If you were there yesterday and fell under his spell, you know how bad it can be. In the future, I will try to alert you all beforehand if he will be coming with me. That way you will have time to make other plans. I am posting a picture of him. If you should see him aproach, give up and go home. It's a no win.
On a more positive note, the Nils auger is awesome. Yesterday was my first chance to try it. This was the first time I used a hand auger. So I have only my Jiffy power auger to compare it to. The Jiffy will be staying home in the future. You read all the customer reviews and wonder if they're true. They are. It was effortless. It was light. It didn't smell like gas. And with the skunk in the area, I had a lot of chances to use it as we were moving around. The only thing I didn't like about it was the big slit it cut across the thigh of my Gore-tex pants. Watch out for those blades.
One last time, so sorry for yesterday.
