Been doing a little bit of fishing between classes, tests, and work. Mostly, I've been hitting two community ponds that are right by my place. Haven't had a chance to really use my 3 weight other than on itty bitty streams, so it was fun to play with it for a bit. Some of these stocked 'bows can really put a hurting on a small rod like this, but I figure a broken rod is almost always going to be a great story and an even better excuse to go buy a new one.
Here is some elk steak that I cooked up, which has nothing to do with this report, but it was ****ing tasty.
I got bored the other night and was reading a Lake Powell report from BFT and they've been butt raping stripers from the docks at night. A friend gave me some intell on how/where, but they were at Bull Frog and that's a hell of a drive from STG. I drove 153 miles to Wahweap instead and gave it a go:
Two rods tipped with 'Chovies; one on a 1/2 oz jig head, the other weightless. I got there about 9pm and had a whole **** ton of bites in the first two hours, but they would take it, run, and then spit it. I only managed to land one:
No idea about the size, weight, or how deep I was fishing (I'm thinking it was well over 150 feet deep -- that's a wild guess, but the line on my reel had clearly never been spooled out that far before), but I fished in several different areas of the docks and had bites in every depth I tried. They are stacked in there. I think if I had had a fishing light (the kind that goes under water and lures everything in) it would have been a slaughter.
Here are some other random things that I'm posting because I can.
This son of a bitch was crawling up the wall right by my bed a few mornings ago:
No idea what it was, but the satisfaction I got from slamming my flip flop into it and making a 4'' grey skid mark really was awesome.
Here was the oddest couple ever to be odd, and when she stood up, I realized why. Plig to the max. Holy home-made denim dress, Batman. She was easily 6x the size of her husband; the photo doesn't do it justice.
And lastly, here is the package that I received from wavefishing.com today. Happy ****ing valentines Elvis Junior, you deserve this. (not really, but I'm the boss, so there)
Bring on the spawn, bitches.
