All right, so this is what a fishing trip picture looks like after last night. No, we did not join Mike Iconelli on the Potomic River. Joe, Nathan and I took Elle Mae down to Silver Lake to try to capitalize on the passing front. Seemingly, the 4 days of rest the lake had from the joy-ride boaters and the passing front was suppose to make for emaculate fishing. It turns out though, that the fishing was quite lousy. On the other hand, perhaps the fishing was tremendous and we were lousy fisherman. I always wonder during times like last night, are we that boat that when asked "hows the fishing" says a little slow or not that great only to have the other anglers asking laugh histericaly at us under their breathe because they are slamming the bass and cant imagine how it is even feasible that we are having a slow night? On Saturday morning, Joe and I were certainly the latter. 50 some fish in only a few hours while others were reportedly not catching much or having a slow day. It only seems right that the tables would turn. Last night we caught an outstanding 5 bass and 3 bluegills from 630pm to Dark (9-ish). Which means in my case, it cost me approximatly $4.00 per bass just to make the drive! All in all, we had a great time. We rarely get to fish with Spooty and the cooler of happiness definitely added to the trips enjoyment. Maybe next time we will catch a few fish too. Im still not overly convinced that Spooty isnt bad luck when fishing.
