He laughed at ME !

[Ketchn]

When he asked where I was going and I said down to the fishing dock .
He proceeded to tell me nobody is ketchn fish down there right now .
Then he said they have not been biting in weeks at that lake .
he told me its because its to hot right now .
I said well then it wont be crowded I suppose .
And he laughed some more as he glanced down there and said bud I think you have it to yourself .
I was about like a kid on Christmas day as I drove off towards that dock .I even giggled a bit when I rolled up on the sea of waves and not a soul around .
I hurried myself down that ramp with my favorite 7 footer and a jig I had tied on from the other day .
BECAUSE I knew this about that ! I was about to sling fish like a tv fishing show and that aint no joke yawl . I started with a 1/32 black head white body white tail jig and I never looked back . I got bit first drop and it continued until I was tired of ketchn them .
Now mind you I never really felt many bites and lots of times there was just fish on the jig when I would move the jig or rocked with the waves on the floating dock . They wanted it jigged around and drug along and most were about 3 foot off the bottom in 16 foot of water .
I ketched fish on all 4 sides of the dock and inside the dock as well .Lots of keeper sized fish in the mix and took photos and had a great time all alone out there in that heat .
Never be discouraged when someone says they aint biting is the moral of this story .
Many a times some of my bestus sling festival adventures are "when they aint biting "
KABOOM is the word and yes all 52 of them in an hour and a half got set free
