Fishin Bottoms 1-7-05

Post by wevans »

Put in at Bottoms at daylight and almost no water and about the same on visability :evil: Took 2 hours ta go the 2 1/2 miles to the spot I wanted ta try and found NO fish there :cry: 30 foot hole sournded by Oyster bars and only two fish show on the finder and none on the hok.After several hours of no sucsess, I headed back towards Bottoms and found fish less than a 1/4 mile from the landing :oops: Ended up catching around 40 or 50 fish on the flats "3 to 4 foot" and not a one was a keeper :o It was still fun and a lot better than working though :thumbup: :beer: :beer:

At least you got to feel the tug from a few! :thumbup:
I always think about how many fish I pass over on the
way out to a spot.
Way to stick with it and find the fish. :beer: :beer:
even if they were littlens.... :(

That friend Sir Reel mentioned is ME and I am curious if you know what species of duck you were seeing in good numbers.
