I wasn't planning on going out today after getting shunked at Mattawoman Creek yesterday. Today was slow and I was starting to wonder if this would be another day out and.....out like Mattawoman.
I recently purchased some lures from Confidence Baits and was eager to try them out. I started out with the Finesse Jig N Craw mini but didn't manage not even a bite. I think it was the fact that I was fishing in deep water so I switch to the Dragon Spinner bait. I stayed in the deeper channels trying to target predatory fish, where the current was swift. I saw a huge rock in the middle of the river and hung my anchor over the north face side. I was good position and parallel to the rock to fish a deep hole north of the rock.
I was using a Dragon Spinner bait 3/8 ounce Black W Blue Fleck. It was originally designed for Smallies but during R&D and while on it's first test it caught a Walleye on it's first cast. I'd purchased this particular lure with notion that for all intended purposes, it's creation was heavenly intersected. Great lure, I ordered six more and she doesn't know....pray for me, seriously.
You know, I spend an substantial amount (college fund amount) of money on my habit....I was going to say hobbies but I'm in recovery so I know better... However let me tell you it's a good feeling when you buy a lure and you have something to justify the expense, not to me....it's all for her, remember I'm in recovery here. It will be a special fish fry for her, on her Mother's Day. I got the card the bath and body lotions, dude I'm covered. Somehow I manage to habituate my habits and my life in one...life is good! For now......
