Near the Rock

[MudDucker]

Went out of Mickey Finn yesterday morning. Launched about 8:30 and fished around the rock. Had a limit of trout by noon. Fished closer to the Rock and caught one nice red, but had some big spanish cut me off and fishing bud lost a doormat at the boat.

While we were out there, two lonely fishermen kept coming round close to our boat. First they ran up and wanted to know if we knew where the birdracks were. (you could see the southern Ecofina birdrack from where we were) Then they wanted to know how long we had been fishing the area. Then they moved off about 100 yards, but when we started catching fish, they came up and wanted to know what we were fishing with, then how deep ... etc ...etc. They didn't bother to move off this time. Lastly they asked us if we hadn't already caught our limit. I told them to come on up and tie onto our boat so they could count our fish, plunder our tackle and eat our lunch. Idjit was didn't seem to catch my drift. I must be getting nicer in my old age. I didn't even pull my pistol.

Fish bite was good right up to low tide.

too funny, some folks just don't get it. thanks for the tip and yes you did have one trout to many.

I am pretty sure I saw that all happening from about 1/4 mile south of you. I just thought that you were trying to start a new raft up and party spot..

[Hit-n-Miss]

You talking about Rock Island? You did much better than we did. Out there with my wife and boy we only managed 2 trout for dinner.

Yep, Rock Island and yep, I could see where someone would think we were starting a raft!

Oh yea, almost forgot. My fishing bud told them we prayed for fishing success before we launched. Never heard another word from them after that and they moved way off. Who said you can't get a double prayer answered!
