Stories by experienced fisherman are all part of the fishing experience. Everyone should here a few from time to time. |
No doubt. Got some good ones from Tony C. He always ends a story session by saying "that was the past though, what are you catching NOW?"
Could be my favorite phrase of all time. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Some of those stories and locations are worth their weight in gold. Mayby we will never see fishing like that but it offers hints at where we could find the best fishing of our time now. If 50s are caught in one spot multiple times over the years there is good reason for it. The particular structure and currents draw them there, and maybe you won't get the quantity of quality that years past offered, but its a good place to start. We can all agree that most times the 50s just arent there, but knowing the exact rock a handful have come from increase your odds astronomically.

Oooohhh.... I LIKE that quote! Sort of sums up my feelings on some guys....
Anyway, I love hearing the old stories. A guy I fish with has told me a story a bunch of times of a 60"+ bass he took at Ballston years ago. Every time I hear the story, I get all fired up to fish. He has 7 or 8 50's to his name, plus countless 40's. I have learned a lot of how/where to fish from this guy. Any time I can sit back and listen to what some of the old timers have to say, I pay close attention! As has been said, they may not be there every night, but if you can figure out why and when certain spots consistantly spit out big girls you can up your odds today. |

TC.. love how he always ends an answer, with a question.. his way of making you think.. and picking your brain at the same time..
I gotta question him about thong wearing Canadien women.. I am hearing rumors...  ..
