Micro-Blitz!

[BigFish]

Steve....I require only one thing to make any fishing trip a success.....just one fish! No size requirement! Just 1 lousey, little fish.....that is why I go and what I enjoy! Catching fish! Sure I desire to put large fish on the beach.....but if I went out each time with that as my goal, I would not enjoy myself! Yesterday met all of my requirements and I had alot of fun! One of the most fun days I ever had was 2 years ago out on the Race by the lighthouse......it was late fall, a beautiful sun kissed, cool afternoon and I was alone on the beach hammering away at shoolies all day in the waves as they rolled in! I was throwing a Bernzy Surf Howdy I knocked off (credit to Bernzy ) I had 4-5 fish following the plug through the waves on each cast and you could see them in the wave as the sun provided perfect back lighting! It was one of the most beautiful and enjoyable days I have ever had! The 70 fish I caught and happily released alive sure made it fun!

First off// Larry .. Glad ya had Fun.. that is what matters..

Steve.. 3 stages of angling.. .. I'd love to hear it..

Large is always good, but, not the top priority.. large numbers of small fish is cool too.. sometimes more fun.. blues.. small doses, once a year... Thank you.

What Stage am I at Steve?.. most times I'm just glad to be out there.. have had nights (more each year) with nothing.. used to really rile me.. now it doesn't matter.. I love the night sky, the dusk, the false dawn, the sunrise.. the solitude.. or companionship, depending if I'm alone or not.. always try to learn something, every time I go..
this year.. one thing I have noticed.. empty beaches.. lack of fish?, high gas prices?..seals, mung, etc? who knows .. even non ORV beaches.... even weekend nights... the herd has thinned, not that I am complaining.. tells me too, that when the word is that the action is hot, the crowds come, not so hot.. they stay away...I digress..
the fish are a plus, Yes, by all means.. just to be there.. and enjoy.. lack of action, no longer destroys me Seals it what pisses me off these days.
but.. "Large" .. is always good.... ..
(I know U like Large too, Steve, even if your bored...)

Larry, i am sure you would have enjoyed taking a pic of those fish as well as catching. Had a similar experience seeing 3 or 4 stripers in their

teens runnin down a wave parallel to the beach with a 5pm September setting sun, giving a light yellow/green background . It is etched in my

memory forever. There is so much more to fishing than catching.

saved a trip with micro bass tuesday. tried for a few hours for large,, but then realized these folks don't care about size. heck they've never seen a bass let alone a keeper. so we went inside the harbor and found the blitz. small bass to 22" and a little bit larger blues.
light tackle casting at it finest. they had a blast. i had a blast.

birds shreaking-bait breaking-fish slapping-reels singing..
those are the best days...

even i got bass thumb

Not pissing n Ur parade Larry.
Just funnin wit ya.
Maybe u should change Ur name.

Flap sounds like the Three Stooge's of fishin.
Complacency breeds mediocrity.
Some people enjoy different things.
Thats what makes this world a wonderfull place.
I enjoy fishin, an all the fine things that come with it as much as anyone.
I could elaborate but it doesn't matter.

One thing to remember is that no matter how big a fish is, it is always fighting for its life ... so I appreciate every fish I ever hook -- with the exception of the dogfish -- but all bass attack each offering with as much zest and aggression as the next fish, so they are all fun. Would prefer to always catch LARGE, but that would also take away the enjoyment of catching LARGE.

Larry, keep at it, glad you had a good day ... at least it was better than sitting at my desk ...

Bruce, the first thing I did after crossing the bridge this morning on the way to work was check to see that the 4 wheel drive indicator light was on 2 hi. Thanks for joining me last night. Thay might not have been ginormous but there was a lot of them, thery were hungry, there was no mung, no seals, no rain, no wind and no one else there. Guess that makes that a good night eh?
