It’s Friday!

Since I haven’t been out there in a while, I headed on out to the river this morning to see how much the bass missed me smile_regular.  Turns out they didn’t miss me that much after all, so I ended up taking pictures of the sunrise , a netter ajoshi and some birds eating what was probably a dead carp.

The sunrise.

Ajoshi on his way to check his nets.  Those netters have some nice outboards on them and zoom right along.

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t ask me why I took pics of these birds…it’s just rare that they hang so close to shore but in this case, the attraction was a dead fish floating in the water.

And last but not least, here’s the biggest bass I caught this morning on a 5-inch Senko, black with blue flakes…the rest were all dinks.  One thing - all my fish were caught before or right at first light.  Once the sun rose, the bite totally turned off.

    Nice pics Nomad, and way to go! :) I have a couple of shady spots in mind for this afternoon, and that’s both for the fish and me, cause it’s one hot Motha out there today! lol

    Yep, shade is where it’s at. Or, a nice air-conditioned bar with an ice cold beer :wink:

    LOL Nomad! Since I’m staying out there all night and not driving anywhere, I’m thinking that there’ll probably be one or two cold beers underneath all that water and ice in the cooler somewhere. :)

    My outboard has seen it’s fair share of those nets, that’s why I always carry a big sharp knife in the boat with me these days :lol:

    Nice pics as always Nomad.

    Rob, you doing a bit of night fishing tonight :?:

    Steve,

    I’ve declared war on carp fishermen and netters…if I see a net, it’s fair game :razz:

    Steve, my original plan was to go night fishing, but after five hours in 94 degree heat I called it a day at 8PM. I was beat.
