Jig guy and I fished the wood today the water temp this morning was if I recall 51 degrees and warmed up to 55?. To say that it was a tough bite would be putting it mildly. We fished the quarry and the bout line. I hooked and landed 1 short LMB, 3 cats, and 2 schoolie strippers.
Going from the line, my life vest flew out of the boat, Bill tried to pick it up, but another guy stopped first and picked it up. Bill pointed out their boat, I inquired about my vest and the guy started giving some lip, but then said that it was in the back of their truck, I debated going back for it but was too excited to get my rod bent, so off we went to the quarry, fished with little success and Bill suggested we try the bout line. Who do you think we see there... yup the same guys, they parked a rods distance from another boat (CLOSE) again I inquired if they were the ones who found my jacket. The older guy again starts giving Bill lip, they hall ***** out after a few minutes. I told Bill, "bet you $10 that they are heading out of here (11:00). Bill comments how rude they were, well at least the 1 guy, I said not to worry, we all reap what we sow.
As I'm leaving the lake at 16:50 I ask the guy at the gate if anyone returned a life vest, he asked me to describe it so I did (knowing full well that it hadn't been turned in). Well - surprise, surprise, surprise!!! They had turned it in! Nice, saved me $50 bucks.
So all ended well. Had a great time fishing with Bill "The Gig Guy" a real gentleman!
Gonna hit it again ASAP!
