The kids are on Easter vacation right now, which means I don't have to take anyone to school in the morning. And if I don't have to take anyone to school in the morning, that means I can hit the road early and get some fishing in before going to work which is what I did yesterday.
I left the house at about 6am and got to the lake at 7:30. Within 15 minutes I had my first bass. As I was retrieving the hook from it's mouth, a man walking his dog commented on the fish. I asked him if he would mind taking a picture for me. He was a bit straggly and didn't seem like someone who was familiar with cellphone cameras. He agreed to take the picture and left a little bit of himself for me to remember him by (getting a good shot of his own finger).
so I took another picture of the fish just for good measure
I'd say no more than 15 or 20 minutes later, I had my second bass.
A little smaller, but decent still.
Later during lunch, James and I headed back to the lake for a while. He used his fly rod and I took the road less traveled. I'd like to say that made all the difference, but it didn't make much difference at all. Neither of us had much luck. James had one bite and one big bass that was interested more in his indicator than his fly, and I had one hook up on a nice sized bass, but he surfaced with a headshake and successfully dumped my hook.
But still a good day.
