DVL Dec 18th "I'm All Alone I Am"
Well, I had to use a floating holiday at work by the end of this week or else I'd loose it. That plus a break in the whether plus it was overcast, plus I thought they were going to stock today. So you see, it all added up for a striped bass. I was sixth in line at 5:30. It was chilly and light icy breeze at launching. I paddled one way and look back, about 1/2 mile to my back I see birds working a cove. I paddle my ass off, which was easier than a good day at LJ. When I finally reached the cove the action is over, just birds sitting like nothings going on, like "what". I look down in the 10' of water and see two bass swim under me, one well over 10lbs the other maybe 2-3. I cast a plug in the direction their headed, 5 cranks and I'm on. But it's feels like I got the smaller one. The line peels across the front of my kayak and I'm on for my first fresh water tow. Definitely not the small one. I'm on my mitchell 330 with 8lb floro, and it's a steady tow with no drag. Maybe ten minutes at yakside and I'm face to face with a nicer grade stripper. But It's hooked in the eye socket. Big flap and I'm left with eye skin. Three hours later and I'm into some cookie cutter bass on the 3" anchove swimbait. I get a nicer grade of bass almost every 1/2 hour for the next 3 hours. It was an above average day for me today. Maybe one day I'll have someone to talk to.
Cool sights for me today were: 1)That 10+ bass that swam under me. 2)Some kind of bird of pray swooped down not more than 50' and *PaTack* took flight with a trout I wouldn't mind catching. 3)Father and son (maybe 6yo) on the point casting for striped bass. The kid was getting more distance than me. I thought it would've been a cool picture. Landed at 1:30pm. Marina dude said there were no striped bass caught brought past him. |
