 Poor Planning = Poor Performance 

I finally made a decision to get back on the water.  After thinking about it all day at the last minute I decided to head to Fayette County in the morning for a couple of reasons.  First, it was making me feel guilty to think about driving down to POC.  There are still folks in a world of hurt down there and it just didn’t feel right.  Second, Fayette is always good to me, I was looking forward to a great day with little wind, perfect for jerk baiting Fayette.

So at 5:15 I took off to be there right at daylight.  Traffic was light and I arrived there at the perfect time.  To bad it was closed!  Perfect.  It never freakin’ occurred to me that the flooding was that bad, but it should have.  I took the time to read the fishing report on the TPWD website and it mentioned the water being murky.  So I aSSumed that things were good.  So there you have it, my fishing tip of the day –  Before you head out that far check the website of the entity that controls the water, you might save yourself a drive.  I know better than that.

GOGGLE SUCKS!

I keep getting these sales calls in the name of Google telling me this is my last chance to save my website or they will list my business closed.  First you f’rs this is not a business, second this is my web blog and it ain’t going nowhere, and last and most important – You are not going to extort me!  I am not buying some service, some b’s thing that you are selling, when it is going just fine here at fishcatchingtravel.com.  I take offense that you are using my phone to threaten me to pay money for my website.  In fact if you show my “business” as closed there will be no need to continually make sales calls to me.

Of course I lurk on several fishing sites, and there are some good ones out there right now.  One thing I have noticed is that folks, especially the guide services, often lay all their fish out on the deck.  While it gives you a great idea how many fish they caught after a while they all run together.  Not sure how to get the idea across but there must be a better, and visually more interesting, way to show your fish.  Take a minute if you are fishing with others and take a few on the water pics.  Love rod bending pics and the big stringer on the wader’s back pic.  Believe me folks will be a lot more interested.

So after that little 3 hour plus fiasco I am right back to where I started.  In the morning it will be POC, final answer.  Plus it will be so interesting to see the changes.  Last time there was high water from a close hurricane it changed several of the drains I fish consistently. After seeing the pictures from the air of Sunday Beach and the pass there will be big changes in some of the drains.  Some will be deeper and some will end up silting in, just depends on where they are.  And as I have not seen a report other than from the jetties I really have no clue what to expect.  The first stop may be the bank near the old Coast Guard Station, then out to the Pringle area to check on some drains, and of course even if it is muddy a run through Big Bayou to see if it has changed any of those drains.  So there will be plenty to do and see tomorrow, whether I actually catch any fish remains to be seen.  So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
