The Miracle Tank

[Katrina71]

@Ron Reefman how big in diameter would you estimate the average curlique to be that you see in the ocean?

 

[Katrina71]

I'm going to try something interesting in the Miracle. KP has never tried a pistol/Pederson together with a curlique. They have done a snapping shrimp/Pederson together with no issues. They did tell me the pistol will be deep in the nem and the Pederson will basically glide along the outside of it.

sunup off a point,topwater black popper w white nailpolish stripes ,water will explode , pic later ,ole faithful!!!

Heads Up, this is a long post about family fishing and lots of pics.

Day, Night, Boat, Kayak, Beach, lures, bait .......

@Katrina71, learn to tie knots and just keep putting the line in the water. I've have high end custom rod, reels and lures as well as and ugly stick and basic lures, they all catch.

A cheap jig head with a plastic bass assassin seems to out-fish everything in my lure bag.

Local bait and tackle shops can be a reliable source of information. Don't chase internet reports. They are good for identifying trends, but fish are gone by the time you get there.

Many anglers keep a log. They note tides, moon, weather, time of day etc. Very important it to "match the hatch" . Mimic the bait in the water on which the fish are feeding. There will be patterns, so part of the fun is understanding these cycles. Keeping a log is a great way for a youngster to learn about fish habits and habitants.

Rinse the rod and reel off after every use, and learn how to open it up and clean it every few months.


Fishing with my youngest:

The kid learned rain or shine quickly

The kid picked the spot (based on his success at the above dock), set the strategy on his own and won a local fishing derby.

The elder in full fish mindset

and the payoff

They are gown up now:

A friend recognized us one night and snapped this pic.

enjoy the journey

Something is bothering me. It seems a huge number of businesses are getting involved in Black Lives Matter. Supporting Black owned businesses. It's really just a warm fuzzy mockery of the whole issue. It is, by the very definition, racism. Don't all lives matter? Don't all small business owners matter? Equal is equal. Can you imagine if Amazon had White Lives Matter heading on the screen? Etsy had a filter to shop White owned shops? The internet is the one place it really didn't matter. Until Now. I just want true equality. True peace.

I guess I need to unplug and move back to a small fishing community where people just rely on one another and take care of each other. I'm very confused by today's society.

If I get banned, thank you all for the love and laughs. None of you will be forgotten.

Love the Ugly Sticks. I use then for trout, bass, and then I have a couple of steelhead, Chinook salmon set ups for the Snake river.

I have already been swatted for my opinions on the current BLM situation so I just will say I understand and keep moving along....

I had a rant, but I erased it. Don't want to be labeled, have my post deleted (it's already happened this week here) - or banned. Instead, ....
