Squeezed in a little fishing in the neighborhood pond before the rains came. Threw a popper for an hour looking for bass, but nothing took interest. Then tied on a big rubber legged nymph in hopes of fooling one of the resident koi, but it went to work on the catfish – dubbed “thundercats” due to the looming storm. I love the way catfish fight!
Thundercats hoooo!
It’s Friday. JazzFest is this weekend. This is me smiling.
A face only a mother can love. Enjoy your weekend!
PS. That catfish fell for a mosquito wet fly earlier this week. Who knew?
Out here in North Carolina for work this week. Found some time this afternoon to sneak away with the client and do some fishing. Wind was brutal ( it was worse yesterday though), which led me to use his ultralight gear. Fishing was S-L-O-W, but I did manage to land one nice bass.
Although that was the only fish caught on the day, it wasn’t the only great catch. Check out this biscuit from Miss Helen’s Quik Stop, aka, Biscuits N’ Porn, palm sized and covered with cheese. It was delicious.
