Back to the Garhole
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 | Author: admin
The water in the Garhole had warmed to 44 when I started at 10:30 today and warmed even more to 48 by 3:30. Things are indeed warming up. As I came around a corner today a 10 foot alligator slid from the bank into the water. I started fishing with the shakey head that worked so well the other day. Nothing doing. Then a DTF – 3 got the call because it will almost suspend when stopped. I’ve had luck with it in the past. Got a bite after about 10 casts and caught the OFOD a few casts later (OFOD = only fish of the day). 3 1/2 pounds. Did not get another bite for the rest of the day, even in the good spots where I can usually always get one to bite. I got pretty disgusted and quit about 3:30. Also the landing was pretty muddy and I was a little worried about having to maybe winch out. That’s a cheap excuse however because if they were biting I’d probably still be there.
Went to Washington this afternoon and pulled a SKUNK!
