I've been getting pretty frustrated in the past couple weeks. More than once, I've had "someone" fishing next to me hook up large while we're both using the same stuff at the ends of our lines. It's great to see someone cool catch a big fish, but it makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong. I think I've been doing far more picture-taking of others' catches than fishing lately. I might as well become some fisherman's personal photographer, as I'm getting quite adept at aiming and shooting a shining face holding a big fish accurately in the dark. Perhaps there was a voodoo curse on the UPS truck that delivered my new reel? I mean, it did take a week to get to me after I ordered it. That's enough time to go hit up Mama Boulay down South for a quick "no catchee da fish" spell. Hopefully it wears off soon. Putting in my time, including the 3-hour round-trip drive, is just getting more and more frustrating -- where are my fish??

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Tonight will be a barometer of sorts for me and I know I am setting myself up to fail because the wind is all wrong...

But... I caught my biggest ever there last week.. and my uncle and a few others hooked up nice the other night...

If I dont hook up tonight.. its gonna be a break for bass for a few weeks..

I agree w/ you Rizzo,I too have been doing well w/ eels & I have to move around to find the fish not just location's but depth as well.Last week I caught my best for the season a 38#. I went last night found some fish after an hour but that storm moved in quicker than intisipated & I didn't feel like catching any bolts!

Ya gotta move around.
Rizzo congrat's on the fish(s)
