Today (and for the past several weeks) I have been a poor sport. I haven’t caught any fish and I’m pouting about it. It’s so bad that I’ll just watch Justin fish (I know I know, you can’t catch any fish when your rod is not in the water…).
BUT I’m not the only one. Justin is just as frustrated…probably more so because he invests more time and money into fishing. My motto has always been that if Justin isn’t catching fish then they aren’t biting…but apparently that was just up north.
Don’t get me wrong I love sitting outdoors and enjoying nature, the sea breeze, etc… but I can only take so many strike outs…I’m discouraged. But I haven’t really seen any decent fish caught since I moved to Wilmington…with the exception of Justin’s tiger shark and one king mackerel caught on Ocean Crest Pier.
I know people are catching fish around here. I read about it everyday on the Pier and Surf forum. Maybe I’m just a fish repellent.
My guess is that the failure to catch fish is just lack of knowledge about where the fish are and when they eat. Brown, brook and rainbow trout are easy. Or am I just more familiar?
PS I live 10 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and what I really want to do is head to Sutton Lake to catch bass. How sad.
