It's four in the morning here, just pouring my first cup of blood.......oops........coffee...........
Will be back fishing about 6.............
Oh, by the way, my Bro in Law discovered why we are only catching wee, little fishies....... He has one of those Fish Finders that looks and acts like a BIG Bobber. It floats around scanning the waters for fishies, and maps out the bottom of the water it's in. It also records water temp and other stuff like depth and obstacles on the bottom.
In this case, he discovered that the DEEPEST point we are fishing is is just over 5ft............. AND the water temp seems to hover between 80 and 100 degrees on the surface. Any Angler knows that this is way to warm for the BIG FISHIES to hang around in. The more aggressive Bass will swim in looking for bait fishies to gobble up, but they don't hang around. The bigger Catfish, Drum, and other Pan Fish like we are catching are out finding colder/cooler water to hunt in.
So, it seems this place we rented on the river has us DESTINED to have fun catching all the wee fishies. The fun part is that we can catch them all day and night IF we want to. Every time we throw a worm in, they swarm around it........
That's ok with me. This vacation was to ENJOY our fellowship and to ENJOY fishing..........oops, CATCHING!
And we are surely CATCHING! So far I'm racking up quite a total of wee fishies, and they are too. Yup, they. My Sister has even been fishing with us and she is hauling in more fishies than she has ever caught in her fishing life. Now, to be honest, this may only be the third or fourth time she has actually fished........
God is surely good............and I won't bemoan not getting the BIG ONES.
