This drum fish wouldnt stop wiggling long enough for me to take a better picture. it flipped and flopped until it bounced off the pier and back into the river.

Sheephead are called “trash fish” for a reason, they aren’t for eating. The only thing i have heard good about them is to put them into a grinder and freeze them and tie the frozen bad of ground up sheep head to a boat or pier as chum.

Caught this White bass off the dock on friday. I was using a small red hook with a leader and one small weight. I let the current drag the line under the pier and gentally pulled the line and let it release. I think there were several of them under the pier biting but they were hard to keep hooked.

Today was a pretty unusual day.

The day started with me waking up around 6:30 at Michelle’s. I did the normal morning things and when i found my phone and checked my text. I had a message from Jason reminding me that we were going to go fishing. So I responded to him letting him know that I wanted to but I would not be on time.  So we decided to meet at the boat launch.

When i arrived i took all my fishing gear out of my truck and walk out on the pier and sat down and started to open stuff up. I decided i wanted to change lures I went to cut the Lure off my line with needle nose pliers and when I pulled the line the lure stuck right into my pinky finger. It didn’t really hurt too bad at that moment. I figured that i had just hooked myself skin deep. Then i went to back the hook out and OMG. This was not so good. it hurt Like HECK.  It made my stomach weak and i felt dizzy.

I decided to wait a couple minuets to see if the pain would pass. Then Jason’s dad walked out the pier and saw my finger and suggested I went home and put some ice on it then back it out myself. There was no way i was going to be able to do that. I am too much of a baby when it comes to any pain at all. So Jason picked up all of my fishing equipment and his own and drove me to the Dr here in Byron.

They gave me 3 shots in the pinky and soaked it in some red stuff i figured to clean it. Then the dr pulls out some bolt cutters that were big enough to cut my finger off. Then he snipped the lure off and all that was left was the hook part inside my finger. Then he grabbed pliers out of his toy box and pushed the hook all the way out through a new hole. I couldn’t look but Jason watched the whole thing. Then I took a pic and replied to some text messages that I had received while in the Dr office

I signed the papers they needed me to and left. We went to the gas station and got something to drink. Then i got a call and had to go back to the Dr. they forgot to give me a tetanus shot. So i went back for that and was only in there a few minuets.

Finally got back to the boat launch and unloaded the fishing equiptment again and started fishing. I caught a little sheep head quickly and Jason hooked one and just as he brought it out of the water it flipped off. I then casted and jigged around the rocks on shore and hooked a nice bass. jason started to get sleepy so he headed home and i fished a short time longer and caught the teeny weenie baby bassey.

Thats the day. if you took enough time to read this post then please take a few more mins and leave some comments for me.

This morning around 4:00 am Jason sent me a text asking if I wanted to go fishing this morning. I of course responded to him and after he got off work we went down to the boat launch. While walking out the pier we noticed a minnow bucket and it had some minnows in it so we both used one and cast out. Then we set up our casting rods and tried really hard to get something to bite but we just didn’t have any luck at all. So that’s why I am not including any pictures of fish.

Still had a good time. I think we might try the same thing tomorrow. Hopefully we will have better luck and i will be able to post some pix of fish.
