willard 10-25
#1
Went into my happy idiot, legal tender struggle gig and cranked out a few hours of OT to help with fundages to replace some of the gear I left on the bottom of hells 1/2 acre, if it hasn't floated to powell yet
was on the n dyke by noon
54 degrees slight wind chop and im going with cold as the water temp
Didn't see a boat aside from the quackwhackers on the other side till 2ish
Saw the 1st target with a 100 yards
and that would continue rarely having to walk more than that to the next target
Which was good as I was gittin close to 0 fer 20
with most being the slink away to the depths refusals
a few crap, pile cast, linings, which results in the gtfo high speed spook away
Waters pretty murked and the whole games based on sight
so I blew a couple eats and was having a tough time telling whether they were inspecting or dining
and because your throwin over rocks your gonna snag some flies
9 outta 10 you can throw a hard roll cast and unhook
but the great majority of the time that roll cast is gonna make your target
unhappy
poopfish pro tip
2 kinds happy and unhappy
and I haz a hell of a time gittin the unhappy ones to eat
lies were tough yesterday with the majority being up tight on the rocks often breaching and perpendicular to the dyke
Throw in the cursed milk weed and whatevarz that other evil line grabbing podded plant is and sometimes I don't even bother to throw
mostly singles a few pods
eventually I managed to do it all right and puts the bend in the whippy sticks

Having regained the mojo and gitting better lies I think I 8 outta 10ed the next mile
cool thing about the rubber lips is once you sink that barb rarely do they come unstuck

other cool thing is theyre carp
nobody really cares how you handle em or what you do to em
well aside from shooting them with arrows and leaving smelly carcasses to rot
and even then only the latter really bothers me
they are pretty photographic in their own way

Had no charge in the waterproof Nikon which sucked cause it takes nice pics in situations I don't want to put the phone in
