Relentless dogs. LJ 8/10
Hopped in the truck this morning, just after 5am. Turn the key to a bzzzzz- click.
Fortunately one of the neighbors was loading up for a day at the swap meet and gave me a jump. Anyhow, it was a beautiful, full moon morning. Parts of the drive into LJ felt like I was going to drive right into the moon. Got out to the zone around 6ish and started making bait. Took a while, but got 6 nice greenies. Tried the double rod troll today. One fly line and one with a 2 oz weight. Dogs were on me like stink on.... 6 greens lasted about an hour. Drifted back in a bit to make more and was only able to come up with a couple Spanish for about an hour. Meanwhile I started talking to a fellow angler on a PA 14, who was having the same experience. We were talking, both on our last mac, we spot a dog coming our way. His got hit first as he tried to retrieve it. I was hastily cranking mine in and suddenly hooked into a fish. Just a bonito, but as I got it to the boat WHAM, SPLASH!!! Dog comes running at it from below and flies out of the water with it. 2 feet from me! After that, made a few more macs for more of the same. At one point, I had birds diving nearby and paddled over, threw iron into the pit for one more bonito. Saw some guys on a boat trying to be sneaky, but they were shooting the dogs with a paintball gun. Didn't see anyone hook up. Another Sunday Probably going to take next Sunday off. Going on a 3/4 day the following Tuesday. |
