Took two of us to catch a teeny lil white cat. JM cawt him an he got tangled in my line. Looked like a mummy, all wound up in both our lines. Felt sorry for him an turned him back. First fish of the year an it took two to reel him in. JM got to hear his 209 rattle a couple times. I got to hear my #9 rattle once. Such a sweet reel. Thanks Chef! I really like that reel. Got it loaded up with #60 spyderwire an boy does it sail. And it dont even hardly birdnest. Then (Becker moment of the day) Was at gas station an this feller comes in an tell bout the fish bitin an I says, musta been somewhere I wasnt. Then he goes ta tellin me where they was bitin an how I needed to have some PVC type jugs and etc, etc. I bit my tongue an just kept sayin how I just wasnt in the rite spot. an he just wudnt shut up. I dunno. Meybe he didnt notice that the wind was blowin nearly a hunnerd miles an hour today. Nor was I interested in buyin a bunch of PVC pipe an doin whatever he was blabbin about. The guys at the station got the hint I was gettin irritated. Youda thawt this feller wudda. Finally he left. Prolly thawt I was rude. I was, kinda. I'll provide a picture of this great catch, later sometime.

Good to hear you guys got out. Y'all sound like me cause the best part of fishin' isn't always the catchin. It's all the other stuff that happens while you're out. Glad y'all are enjoyin' them reels too. Makes me happy.

We went out yesterdayfor trout. I had all kind of baits wx worms maggots, minnows and small worms but only caught two 10 inch bass, Had two good his on minnows but missed them since I was talking to the ranger at the lake! To many people fishing this week and the sun was so bright I think the fish got blinded! I was suprised bass were hitting with the water so cold yet. Stopped at a paid lake and watched two fisherman three carp about 20 inches on doughball. I was supprised the big chunks they were using. The size was that of a snickers bar. Well summer is just starting good luck guys!

Hmm, we used to fish for crayfish at the Alondra Park in Los Angeles when I was little, used dough balls from the canned biscuits. Worked real good, LOL. Haven't thought about that in years.

Least the dang wind died down. Well heck, see ya just needed to give em time to get growed up a little. Thought the wind died down here, but it came back yesterday afternoon. Not as bad as it's been down at my son's, but enough to get my allergies all excited.
