As you all know I had gone fishing 11 times in 2011 and got skunked 10 of those times. Been going to these "pay-to-play" lakes with no success...Spent so much money on only entrance fees I am ashamed of myself. Well, today I woke up at 930 and decided, what the heck, I'm going fishing!

Got to Pyamid by 11...Casted out a nightcrawler(inflated) and a cut anchovie...Bam got hit on the nightcrawler with a nice sized rainbow. When I was removing the hook there was just eggs flying out of it like a jetstream. About 30 an hour later my anchovie hit. Boom! Hook-up!! Pulled out a decent striper. Gestimating about 2lbs. Kept getting small hits on anchovies and squid heads I had saved up but no hook ups. Guessing they were small dinks.

All in all it feels good to give Mr. Skunk a stink of my own!!

Sorry no pix. Cant upload em here through this site.

Nice job beating that skunk.

If you try eating that striper you should like it.

They are delicious!

To the 1st comment...Striped bass is 1 of my favorite fish to eat! =}...

2nd post...OH you should have seen my face when I felt that first fish on the end of my line when I set the hook...It was a straight shot to extacy lmao...

3rd post...I may be an avid and experienced fisherman but hunting is where my heart lies...its a 51-49% split between the 2!
