2001 has been a mixed bag for me. My schoolie numbers are way down and I've had to resort to different methods to take those fish. Problem is, I really only fish a couple of spots... so its not necessarily indicative of overall numbers. My main schoolie spot has been plagued by muddy water which I think has affected the fishing. Last year I caught 150 fish one weekend, which is more than I've caught there this year.
But... my 33lber from last friday is my biggest fish which makes it a successful season. And I've caught keepers 4 out of 5 times at my southshore eel slingin' spot... well, last night I dropped one at my feet which I'm counting 'cause I could've tackled him if I'd wanted to. But its been one fish and done.
I had planned on focusing my schoolie fishing out of my boat, but I have only had it out once for the MSBA boat tourny and we focused on large and took a skunk. Alot of outside factors have prevented me from getting out more. Its a 16' v-haul so its really for runnin' the rivers, etc. but it can get me to some fish if I ever get it on the water.
Overall, other than my first outing in april, I've only been skunked one weekend, however, I haven't had any really good days. Consistently average. Better than consistently sucky.
Patrick, weren't you chirpin' about buying van staal's and breakaway rods recently... now you're ready to get rid of what you got and give up? Come on man... it either runs in your veins or it doesn't. You can't give up... if CT isn't producing, there's your incentive to work... to buy a car so you can travel to the areas that are producing.
Quitting isn't an option.
