Woke up this morning @ 6:00 and went outside to take a gander at the moon.........................and thought Dang,.................... I hope this big waning moon isn't going to kill the fishing today............................. :confused:
I pounded lots of coffee, loaded up the car, and was on the road just after 8:00.
Went south again today and met up with Pal Carmen.
Carmen's morning wasn't too good.....................a couple of fish before sunrise and that was it............ :(:(
I suited up and was on the water fishing around 10:00.
Now this next part is kind of,.............................. lets just say,........................ "WEIRD".
I don't know if one of you out there "schemed this up" or it just happened to be a HUGE coincidence, but, I fished a good portion of the day near (only a couple of ladders away from me) a fellow that was dressed and looked like SANTA CLAUS !!!! :eek::eek:
Yep, he was wearing waders, what looked to be a red velvet shirt under his fishing vest, had a "real" white mustache and beard, wore Santa style glasses, and a Santa hat that had a white band around his head and a black cone above the headband, and a white fluffy ball on the top of his hat.
Now if I were going to tie a "Santa Bomb" fly for Pyramid, that's the color scheme I'd use. :p:p
Sorry guys, I'm not losing it or wasn't hallucinating either.......... I'm sure Quinnphoto (Bill) and Carmen and Jimmy noticed him too....... :confused::confused:
John H...............................................are you toying with me ?????????????????????????????????? :D
Anyhow, from 10:00 till 2:00 I didn't have ANY strikes............ I was fearing a re-visit by Mr. Skunk. :(
Around 2:00 Carmen said he was going down the beach to fish and for me to step into his spot.......Thanks Carmen !!! :)
A few short minutes after I slipped into Carmen's spot my 'cator disappeared and I had a 4-5 second battle with a fish that went LDR...........pffffttttt.
About 4:15, Quinnphoto (Bill), waved goodbye (I think he had to return some rented equipment to the RFS before they closed ;);) ) and I hooked and landed a fair sized ~5+ lbs fish just before he left.
WWWHHHHHEEEWWWWWWW................the skunk was gone...............................
I fished till dark with one other 'cator "take down" that I didn't hook up with....... :mad:
I ended up my day going 1 for 3.
Everyone else fared about the same............it was a slow day for all today. :mad:
For the ride home, my small thermos of "Vegetable Beef Soup" with just the right seasoning. :cool::cool:
Dang Cutthroats........................................
Bob who's still wondering about the "Santa thing" today.........................:confused::confused:
