Wv Mike. Welcome to how many of us poor old fishers feel most days. LOL. Seriously you are one of the most successful fisherman on the Stage. I love seeing the variety of your catches and the size of some of those critters. Just curious, do you do most of your fishing from a boat or shore? I might take a ride down 79 and take a few lessons.🎣😎

That is the story this time of year for a lot of us. Had a few skunks myself recently with similar situation. Lot's of jumpers and no takers. So yesterday, after three hours of nothing, went back to my old standby, the grn/pumpkin thin senko, and "Walla", got a 3.23 LMB. They are there, just have to get lucky sometime.

If you haven’t ever been skunked then you definitely haven’t done a lot of fishing.that is our way of life but won’t give it up for anything

Wow Mike,you're human, I was starting to think supernatural. Be sure to thank Spirit for letting you take his pet out for the day. I imagine it's more of an unusual feeling for you,than it is for most of us. As we all say to each other "You'll get 'em next time "!
