Well, we moved into a new home december.
Big bonus is that rainy river is still a hop skip and a jump from our front door step.
But...we have a small river about 300 yards from our backyard?
Im not sure what took me so long but +23 temps and no wind made me venture out today.
Now, previously ive asked the locals and all said no fish, dont bother.
So I go down this even to wash some lures, no expectations. Navionics days 7 fow. A jig says 13
I get down there, sèe about 20 turtles sunning on the mud bank, quickly scurry into the water on my arrival.
I set up and fish are jumping everywhere!
Now im excited!
Beautiful weather, virgin river, fish jumping and nature. It doesnt get any better then this...
Until...
I start casting. Follow ups on almost every cast. Mainly small pike, and a few bass.
I wash top waters, spinner baits, some crawfish, and some twitch baits.
All get follows
Not ONE single hookup!
In two hours i probably seen 30 fish, and couldnt catch one!!!!
All i could do was laugh and enjoy the scenery
I will post a few pics but photobucket is being a pain in the...
