Went out about 11AM to all my usual local spots and only got 1 bite the whole time. It landed this 18" trout.
I guess I got bad Karma for going fishing on Valentine's day and leaving the wife at home.lol |

I had similar luck today too. Definitely bad mojo after I woke up the lady at 5:30am when I was getting ready to fish. Plus the conditions weren't what I expected at all and the fish didn't cooperate...
So, instead of fish for dinner tonight I may pick up some lobster tails or some of big shrimp - both are on sale at HEB if you want to treat the Mrs. right  |

Happy Valentines Day
Went to the local meat market and picked up a 2" thick boneless ribeye. Butterflied it almost all the way through. When you open it up, it looks just like a heart. Add a couple of lobster tails, a bottle of wine and you are set. Maybe she'll let me go fishing tomorrow. |

thats when i got out on the water, they bit for me
days like today my favorite bait to throw is DOA shrimp(didn't work today) or gulp on a small quality j hook, just hooked through the head or tail. let it sink to bottom reel once every 5 to 10 seconds they will hit it on the fall, you go through them pretty quick though.... _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/Shark456Bait/featured

| I can tell you where the 14.99" trout are at. The Boat #@$%. It was still fun but only one decent keeper. |

| I have an awesome wife. I also went and took 100 cuts of BP this afternoon to get ready for the softball season which starts in 2 weeks. When I got home I cooked up some venison guisada with guacamole and some ice cold, dressed Coronas. She doesn't like restaurants on holidays so she enjoyed her homemade meal. |

Never thought of that before Zia. But I now have some deer ham steaks in the freezer that have "venison guisada" written all over 'em! Thanks for the idea. _________________
