Pyramid Report 2/12/2020

[BS]

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.............................

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 !!!!

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.

Sorry guys, I'm not losing it or wasn't hallucinating either.......... I'm sure Quinnphoto (Bill) and Carmen and Jimmy noticed him too.......

John H...............................................are you toying with me ??????????????????????????????????


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.......

I ended up my day going 1 for 3.
Everyone else fared about the same............it was a slow day for all today.

For the ride home, my small thermos of "Vegetable Beef Soup" with just the right seasoning.


Dang Cutthroats........................................



Bob who's still wondering about the "Santa thing" today.........................
