Hoping to repeat the catch of this pike. Or maybe this LM Bass… I struck out on Pool 7 for an afternoon adventure.
It’s funny, the phrase “struck out.” One of those wonderful phrases with a double meaning. Unfortunately for us our trip embraced the not-so-positive nature of the phrase. The fishing was quite poor for us. If it wouldn’t have been for a snagged Sheepshead, I’d be carrying a skunk around with me. Every spot we tried, we struck out trying to boat a Bluegill, Bass or Pike. It didn’t matter what we tried, the fish were just NOT going to cooperate.
About halfway through our trip I found a Dragonfly trying to escape a watery grave. I got this beauty to cling to the tip of my rod and for a bit it just hung out, drying it’s wings and wiping water from it’s head. With the fishing being what it was, I broke out the camera and snapped a series of pics before it found itself able to fly off. These are neat little insects.
