So I decided to take my son back out to the duct after returning from a family ski trip at Mammoth. We hit the duct off of Golf Course Rd. and were the first ones there. We had a strike about 5 minutes after getting there on an anchovie I was soaking. Anyway, five other people showed up together. A man and maybe one of his sons and his son's friends I imagine. The kids were probably 18-20 years old. Right from the get go they were using profanity like you wouldn't believe. Every other word was F**** this or Mother F**** this. Now, normally I wouldn't mind it so bad, but my son was there and it was just too much. Then I overheard the Father tell the kids to "not get stingy with the green when you start." Now, if you couldn't tell by my screen name I have a little knowledge about that sort of stuff. :Rolls Eyes: Anyway, they started drinking beer and I noticed them passing their blunt around. :Angry: Enough was enough, so I asked them as a nice as I could to leave. Needless to say they left. There was no reason to have my son around that stuff as we were trying to enjoy fishing. If you prefer that sort of thing, fine, do it somewhere else and don't subject my kid to that stuff. Anyway, another nice gentlemen showed up and we had a nice conversation. He had one hit on a white bullet jig, but that was it. We decided to leave after awhile and try other spots. My son later had a hit, but I believe it was a carp and not a stripey. Anyway, we smelled like skunks on the way home. Like Striper Bill said, maybe the quake had something to do with it. Every spot we tried no one had any luck. Oh. well better luck next time. Thnx for letting me blow some steam off!
