FOGGY HUNTING

Post by philharris »

secret agent dbl-o went with his buddy drinkin’ ‘n’ paddlin’
at lake piru...so...i went huntin’ solo...unless you count the
idiot crew members in my head of course...

launched at first light...dang blasted fog...kept me close in
the giggle weeds...where i could still hear the waves breaking
to find my way back...rat bastard fog...no reconnaissance
missions on the deeper reefs...

oh well...it’s only drinkin’...er i mean fishin’...’n’...close in
the giggle weeds has been stellar for me these last few months...
though the plastic scampy has been killin' it for me lately...i decided
to use bait this time...castin' 'n' bouncin' a scampy back as back up
plan of course...

found bait at the same second ledge...the usual spot is empty...
probably because the kelp bass have been aggressive there...
constantly jumpin’ out of the water ‘n’ pouncing on anything...

Image

worked the giggle weeds “to ‘n’ fro”...sippin’...drinkin’...
feelin’ fine...bing bang boom!!! bait gets inhaled...turns out
to be a legal butt...but...since i’ve been lucky lately...decided he
wasn’t big enough to keep ‘n’ told him to “go get your big brother!”...
with the endless hell ‘n’ damnation snags in the giggle weeds...
the idiot crew members in my head snarl “your really beginning to
irritate us guy!”

Image

in the next liquid crevasse between the giggle weeds...pow zing baboom!!!
i get clobbered...this guy...puts up a spectacular fight...trying
everything to through that hook...cunning...he buries himself into
the giggle weeds...realizing too much pressure would only gaff my
hook into the weeds 'n' set him free...so...i waited him out...
gee...wot to do??? sippin’ nectar of the gods (metric for beer) of course!!!

finally...he bolted out of the weeds ‘n’ made a mad dash peelin’ line...
line to the rod thumb pressure stopped him...then it was a head shakin’ tug-o-war...
at color...i see it’s a nice butt...gaff out...the idiot crew members
in my head stutter “steady, steady, don’t blow it now. come on,
ready, swing!”

like a moron...i missed his belly ‘n’ got him in the lower gill plate...
at the rear of his jaw...amazingly...he froze...allowing me to game
clip him...hallelujah!!! there is a god...cheers!!!
