[font "Courier New"][#000080]So, there's been a ritual/routine started at my house. I come inside, my dad says "Did you get any fish?" and I say "Of course not!"[/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080][/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080]I'm starting to think that Willard Bay hates me. And by "the bay", I mean just about every aspect! The fish won't commit suicide for me. The critters won't sit still for a photograph...[/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080]There was a beautiful garter (I think that's what Troll said it was) snake, that was swimmin' along the bank. Of course, by the time I would've had my camera turned on and aimed and all that, it would'a been long gone anyway. Feh![/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080][/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080]There were probably a dozen carp, right on the edge of the bank! All swimmin' around, in pairs or trios. And of course, as my luck is, soon as I was all set up and ready, they went somewhere else. I think there was one nibble on my bait (had a worm and catfish "blood" power bait...figured I'd use both at once, for good measure!), but that was it. Troll said they were too busy with "other" things, to think about eating. Stupid carp![/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080][/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080]As for anything else, nada too! I tried a jig that looked just like a perch. Tried a blue and white sparkly one. Troll tried a white Motito...or something like that? Tried other stuff too, and he only got 2 bites in the 3 hours we were there.[/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080]He went to try some other spot further north, about 20 minutes before I left. When he came back, he said "It smells awfully skunky over here!" LOL[/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080][/#000080][/font]
[font "Courier New"][#000080]Oh well, maybe I can get something tomorrow. I might go earlier, since the carp seemed to slow down after about 2. I'll get there maybe 11 or 12... if my heart behaves. S'why I didn't go in the morning like I planned... had heart flutters, so I just slept in![/#000080][/font]
