It would be safe to say that I let the St. Johns “River” pretty much stomp a mud hole in my butt yet again. I say “river” because it’s not really a river in the sense of the word that I’ve always fished rivers. It’s more like narrow, sometimes winding chutes connecting a series of lakes; more like a huge lowland river system than a sure ‘nuff river. It’s not like there are a ton of fish being caught in the river portion of the system, at least not in March.
Well, the party's over. All the guests have gone home. Another Bassmaster Classic champion has been crowned. All the king's horses and all the king's men are trying to figure out how to put it together again and get their butt's back to the big dance the next time the ballroom doors are open. That ballroom, of course, being the 2013 version of the Bassmaster Classic.
With monikers like “The Lewser Sewer” and “Lake Lewserville” you really have to wonder just how bad the fishing can be. If this past week and the 24 – 26 of February, 2011 are any indication, then this place pretty much lives up to the Lewser Sewer name. In defense of the lake, this year’s event had most every possible negative condition thrown at it and it still kicked out some quality fish – just not very many of them.
For some reason, I’ve always received questions about the color of the wrap on the Jewelbait.com BassCat Mercury rig over the past six years. Just can’t imagine why. Some people seem to have their own theory on why I chose the color pink instead of red or blue or orange or green or some color that everyone else is doing. Duh. Here are a few of the theories followed by the real story.
Well it appears (allegedly) that in addition to getting my butt kicked this winter on the Alabama Rig, aka Poodle Rig, umbrella rig, pied piper bass snagger, et al, some of the people doing the pounding on my pink behindness have (allegedly) been strolling the poodle to perpetrate said whipping. What is strollling you might ask? Trolling. Nothing more, nothing less than trolling.
