Old Mossy Horns
Had the day off yesterday and went to Harris for some fishing and hanging out with my wife. Took along a new fly rod to get some casting in and maybe catch a bass or find a carp for excitement.
It was pretty windy so we drove to a spot that usually holds fish and I threw a shaky head green pumpkin worm, got a bite on the first cast, didn't set the hook very hard and lost him halfway to the boat. I had bites on the next THREE casts and MISSED ALL THREE!!
In total I probably missed at least 10 fish yesterday.
New fly rod is sweet, but I still can't backcast worth a hoot into wind without turning around and watching my rod tip. Also fly line management in a boat with cleats, trolling motor, a dog, etc. isn't easy.
But the takeaway here is I'm a terrible bass fisherman.
