I keep catching the wrong fish

[Warmouth]

We finaly caught 28 of the right fish last night. Got some good ones 11-12".

If you're fishing a farm pond, the males are right on the banks, and the females are staging 2-3' deep in open water.

Dave- You really should quit bitchin' about the "wrong" fish...at least you're catching something. Only one fish on the bank last night, about a 2# channel. Very few other bites....the wind, clouds and front seemed to have them hiding. But as always....time spent on a pond bank is not time wasted!



DMR - For your "at my expense" category....the boy was frog catching and ended up about knee-deep in mud and we had to "dig" for one of his shoes that came off....but it was located and brought to the surface.

Nothin' wrong with a little shoe minin' when the fish ain't bitin'.

[Outdoorsfool]

Not sure who was the muddiest after I got done minin' fer shoes.

[Warmouth]

Sounds like something my daughter would do. Mud is one of her favorite indgredients to mix into any event.

How old is she now dave? That may be all well and good now, but just think if she carries that habit into her late teens and early 20's!

[Warmouth]

7yrs, and can't sit still for a minute.

I took her fishin' this past weekend with my dad, and we didn't catch squat. We worked with her casting, and she's a quick study. It impressed me how fast she took to the spinning reel. So long Barbie pole.

So, can I use the Barbie pole now?

[Outdoorsfool]

I have a brass pole you can use.

[LadyAngler]

Give it up, fool... I'm pregnant for heaven's sakes! No one wants to see that.



Do I need ask where you acquired a brass pole? You dancin' these days or did the last woman move out so fast she didn't mind leavin' it behind?
