You've played this game before. The reality that you probably had a better chance of hitting that $5000 scratcher you picked up along with your Little Debbies this morning than you do of actually catching the fish you're after doesn't even phase you. It’s just how this particular game is played. The fishing is done in shifts , with one guy running the trolling motor while the other tries to fool one of the toothy predators lurking within the dark waters with a hook full of feathers.
The day goes by too quickly , as is always the case when you finally get to spend some time doing something you actually enjoy. The good thing about this kind of trip is that you never have to worry about the fishing not living up to your expectations. We fully expected to end the day with sore shoulders and not much to show for it...in the end it was mission accomplished.
We've all heard the moniker "fish of a thousand casts" thrown around in fishing circles when describing this dentally challenged beast. Now math was never my strong suit , but I'm pretty sure in the half dozen trips made since taking up this pursuit, I've more than met my qouta of ugly casts...now if I can just get my fly in front of a fish who's using the same math I am, my luck just might change.
