Glad someone got out. No fishing here, west winds with gusts to 54 mph so far and no sign of it letting up. Allan, What is an Electric Chicken??? Jimi
For those of you out there that question the workings of this list please let me enlighten you. I managed to go fishing today. The first really good day this year. Before I left the house I took one Chili Pepper of Tony Spezio. Tony sent me two along with one of his frogs. As I left the house I thought maybe this fly is as good as Tony says. I fished one pond on the golf course where I always fish and did not get one single hit.. But then I did what a good friend in Wisconsin taught me. Dont' fish where there are no fish. So, I went to one other pond on the golf course where there was a cove sheltered from the wind a little and was also shallow. I figured the water would be warmer there. I put on one of Tony's Chilli Peppers and on the third cast caught one really nice bass. I proceeded to catch not only bass but also crappies, one that would go around one pound and two that would go 1/2 pound. Then the bass really started. I caught three bass running from 1/2 pound up to three pounds and all on the chilli pepper. That three pounder took quite a while to land on the three weight. Three runs and finally got him in. Then I lost that chili pepper on the next run as I couldn't turn the fish whatever it was. He broke the four pound tippet. All was not lost. Wearing the same vest that Allan Fish and I fished with last fall. I had an Electric Chicken that Allan had given me. I put that on and caught two more crappies and two more bass. I am sorry for taking so much bandwith but I just had to tell about my fabulous afternoon, all alone, and no one to talk about it. Thanks for listening and Thanks Tony and Allan. You can bet I will tie up some of those chilli peppers and some more electric chickens.
