Season Highs and Lows!

[BassDawg]

LOWLIGHTS~~~

my first time to fish Geeberry, was way too late in the season and weedy in a blowing and wet Nov storm around the New.

losing "sumthing" HUGE at the Ditch in the middle, during an Easterly drop, around Oct's full. also, dropping my first take at the Canal
due to Spring and buck fever. tried to horse it in waaaaay too green.

landing bupkiss for the HABS Fall Classic.

zigging, when we should've zagged during the MS and missing some difference making stripers and booos during the tourney.

fishing the least amount of time i've ever fished in six yrs and for the first time not landing a pb from the surf.
i missed big fish in my honey hole, TWICE!!


HIGHLIGHTS~~~

fished the DIIIIITCH for the first time ever and fished it w/BBeach!!!

landed a pb for AYC with one of Mike's conrads, 28#'er.

scored sum schwag from OTW for a Striper Cup weekly, and the StriperFest party was most excellent ~~hanginig with and seeing the usual suspects. i was bummed to have missed the DeCostas, there.

Prime Rib at FLO's and fishing with Iron Mike and Chefchrisjoe during the HABS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then, the Raffle/Awards Shindig on Sunday.

fishing the MS Surf Club Challenge with some old friends from SoCo and meeting Mooks and Dave from CA that same w/e!! fished with tha Bossman ~one night, and Veracka ~very briefly. also, finally landing some fish for the tourney and team!! took me 4 yrs, but it was worth the weight!! missed the heaviest striper by 4 lbs and lead all others.

winning the "It's Over" was a BLAST and i can't wait til next year.
thanks again, Mike and Scotty for the plug and tins. they WILL be abused next year!!!

meeting some of the MSBA's finest(Pollock, Pollock's partner, Sales) and getting to know and fish with them to wind down the season.
that same w/e, i talked to fishbones, and met OD Mike in SoCo.

finding Gooseberry Beach in a howling storm, in your face winds, plenty of rain, and high surf. then at first light, it cleared, the wind laid down, and i worked the entire neck,,,,,,,,,,,,,what a SPAWWWWT!!!

i had a GREAT year! not so much from the weight side of the equation, but from the people side,,,,,,,,,,,,this season was
off the charts and far more rewarding than any before it. and for that i am MOST grateful!!

Dawg, I gotta tell ya, I love you. I know you are bright, articulate and well spoken. But when you write a long post like this in BassDawgism, it just gives me a headache. Just to difficult to decipher all your.

love you too, my bruthah~~~


thanks for the compliments; the length was due to the number of highs and lows, the text is directly attributable to my fun-loving nature when retelling tales. it is for some, and NOT for others.

i appreciate your opinion, and will endeavor to curb my enthusiasm a notch,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then again, it ain't EVEN Winter, yet!!!
once the popcorn begins to flurry, ALL bets are awfff~~~

Lows...the depressing fall bass run on MV...

Some might think the MV Fall Run was just right

I would pay good money to watch Dawg go head to head with a Dragon speak program, the computer doesn't have a chance.

It would implode with a whimper.
