I went on the skunk!
« on: April 28, 2008, 08:41:42 AM »
I went out Sat. & Sun. both and got skunked on some smallmouth streams that in the past few weeks have been fishing really, really well for me.  Either these fronts that moved thru really put the fish down, or my spots have been fished out!  The water and conditions looked really good, but I missed 3 or 4 strikes and that's about all I got all weekend!   :'( :'( :'(

Skunks are rough esp 2 days in a row but they happen I tend to look at them not as skunks but as learning and charcter building experiences.

The more I fish the more I realize it isn t about the fishing.  The older I get the more I realize it is about the moments God has hand crafted just for me.

Toddro...
Our regular smallmouth spots here in N AL were the same way this weekend.  I say we blame it on the weather!!  All we saw at one of our spots was a SNAKE!! Not my kind of day fishing!

Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."
