Fickle Fish! I went out this morning loaded for a day of serious pursuit of that 36 incher or at least something over 30. Perfect morning with calm water and overcast skies. Ketching started out slow and got worse. Fished the same area where fish were plentiful last Friday but today, I could not find a fish on the Lowrance or my line. I tried minnows, white bass and carp meat -- nothing produced. I finally gave up on the cats and decided to replenish my white bass supply -- couldn't find one. Last Friday there were white bass feeding voraciously all along the shoreline, today, nothing. Embarrassed, whipped, skunked and humiliated, I left for home to sulk for the rest of the day. Dunno what happened, never been that skunked before. Only explanation I can come up with is that the stars were in their juxtapositional orbits causing the fish to leave the area entirely... then again, the problem may be with the fisherman.
Anyway, my feelings are hurt and I have now sworn off fishing again until Wednesday. I have some cataract surgery scheduled next week so maybe better sight will help me find the fish again.
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.
