Monte, Sun, 13

Met with Fishunter @ 9 and fished all day for not even a bite. Fish jumping everywhere, fish marks everywhere. Threw everything at them, nada. Adam split at 3, I stuck it out till 7, almost 10 hours on the yak for not even a nibble... But we had lots of giggles anyway, great weather.
BTW hwy 12 is not a place to speed, I got a ticket for 70 in a 55, the guy was cool about it, he let me slide 2 mph off the real reading of 72 to keep me within 15 over the limit, no points after traffic school...
Need that dino for aoty THIS IS MADNESS I TELL YOU MADNESS

Ben-

Like Mama said... "there'd be days like this..." Sucks to hear about the ticket. Pretty painful to hear that the fish were all over the place except by your bait. Keep at it though...

Freddie

Nothing worse than floppers everywhere and no bites!!! 

"Patience, Grasshoppah, patience!!!" 

Actually, you're long overdue. Hang in there!

Damm GuitarZan!!!

 That's frustrating, and a ticket to boot,

  Hang in there Bro,

  I hear ya on the Maddness,  Rings in my HEAD every day,  But...

 Otobepeligic's fish are not all that big,  and there is still much time left

Nothing worse than floppers everywhere and no bites!!! 

Getting a ticket to boot is worse.

well at least it was a beautiful day.

It could be worse. You could be in southern New Mexico with no water or fishing anywhere around with blowing dust storms that make it look like nuclear winter. Lots and lots of AOTY point down here. oh and did I mention the buzz of I.C.E choppers on the prowl all night long with their infra red cameras. I would much rather have no bites all day and a ticket for 130mph in a 50mph.

southern NM?

whattya at NM Tech?

get in your car and go for a drive up to Ncentral AZ-- black river canyon...best smallie fishing i've ever had.

Ben, i'm impressed that you stuck it out that long and that your truck actually goes that fast. Gotta love this sport, Frank

Oh that's hard Frank!   and funny!(sorry Ben)
I saw two people getting pulled over on that stretch of road..so I did the suggested speed(this time)

yeah..it was hot as hell and the fish were jumpin EVERYWHERE!...it's back to calling this place what it deserves to called!  SUCKA' Slough!

forcast is windy this weekend, but keep an eye on the hookups section.
I'MaSUCKERforPUNISHMENT!

OMG Frank, your killin' me!!
I almost forgot, I think one of those bridge swallows took a crap on me on the way out...
Sucka slew. Im gonna use one of those birds for bait one day...

Fish jumping everywhere...

You mean dinos jumping everywhere? That must have been cool to see...

I was in the delta one early morning last summer, so many big bass jumping/suspending everywhere around me but no bites regardless of what i threw at them. but it was still awesome seeing them so close.

About that ticket, I would request a "trial by written declaration," basically a trial through the mail (check in the back of the ticket). They'll send you a form that you fill out along with your written defense and send back. I got away 2 times in the past by arguing that 'I was going with the flow of traffic and therefore could not have been speeding.' At 70 in a 55 zone, I think you have a good shot.

One caution though, I am not sure if you would be waiving your rights to attend traffic school by doing this so please check the instructions carefully.

Insult to injury.

With a surf cast rod, a running start, the wind at your back and a little luck you might be able to hit the Sea of Cortez.
Don't forget to get a New Mexico and Mexico fishing license first.
