Too old & out of shape to fish in that weather //but I did wait until the rain stopped & smoked them /
6 hours of non-stop action for two old timers
80% bass
from shore/larger around 12#
it was some thing two old guys fishin & talking about the old days //sit down talk some more then fish again ///
me == at leasta 20 year old glass rod /made by the original Erickson brothers /with the Oka/whatever reel /with a $5 bottle popper r/y made by plug man
the other old timer / old glas s 9 footer /probably off the shelf .. original green 704 Penn . with a sawed off bail //probably original line .original c/c popper////
the stories were great & each new the other wasn,t b/s,n
he talked about going down the pier //& a 40 was common // talked how the bail spring would always snap //but they never has backup reels // on bringing in a 49 pounder /by turning the spool by hand ///didn,t want to just pull it in by hand// because the line would have been lost in the rocks /// messing up his {{next}} cast/////
to me sittin there I realize how I won,t troll & I really don,t care about the size of the bass///
here is another old timer /that has the same feelings towards blues //& never fishes for the big ones // matter of fact he only fishes a couple of times a year /even thou he,s on the water every day //////
we,ll its time to go & see if we lefy any //////////////////////////////////
