I was very reluctant in trying to post a fishing report for Saturday. I'm the very last person that you would want to hear a report from this past weekend! I fished, but that was about all. I caught 14 or 15 short fish and never had a keeper to weigh in. I didn't even loose a big fish so I could have a big fish story to tell! It was awful for me. I guess I needed Dink Dink here to carry me. My high light of the day was a guy by himself from Murphy, NC. in a Tx. out of Wolftever pulled up beside me first thing that morning and on his 4th or 5th cast and he promptly catches one in the 8-9 lb. class right beside me! He was yelling and praying out loud, "please don't come off" as he chased it around the boat with his dip net in one hand and the rod in the other. I thought he would never boat that fish but he finally did get her in the net. Then he went about nuts! He said that you don't catch fish like that around Murphy! We fished side by side for a while and I would catch a 14 incher and he would catch a keeper? He caught a 4 lber. then a 3 and then another about 2 1/2 lbs.? I was catching fish just no keepers. So I suppose that this fishing report his really his fishing report! I fished deep, shallow, ledges, points, flats, grass and only caught short fish. I caught the all little fish on spinner baits, swim baits, a big worm, jigs, and shakey heads. Oh well, that's fishing and I'll just keep on trying!

We've all had those days Earl. I know your good trips outnumber the bad ones so it's not that bad.

I worry about everyone having a good day when you are in a tournament, but your one of those I worry more about then most. Seen you catch them when no one else did. I thought right at first when you said you did not have a keeper that your were sand bagging. But your face said otherwise, then when you asked how many keepers we caught and I told you, your face really told the story. We all have those days like has already been mentioned, it was just your turn to have a poor day! emoRolleyes Jmax

Thanks for reporting Earl! It makes me feel better about my struggles! It was just one of those days man. Heck, you won it all a couple events ago that's STRONG!

Had a few of those days. Just got to keep grinding. I'm not to find of the rude fisherman. If I'm fishing a spot I expect the new comer to move on. Or. Wait till I leave before casting on me.

Did the guy thank you for showing him where to fish? Maybe you should become a guide, you're obviously very good at it, LOL, no , I know it's not a laughing matter, but you'll have your day again !
