stone mtn

fishing stone mountain today, man was it fn cold in the water. the wifey told me to wear extra socks but being a man had to go out with only a pair of socks and non insulated waders a bad choice for me. caught 7 trouts one brown , one brook, and 5 rainbows 2 on the fly 5 on spinner before my feet were too numb to feel and i could not tell if the line was in my fingers. note to self, self buy fn cold weather gear and stop being so fn cheap. Scott brought in 9 all on a variety of spinners, i think him seeing me fail at the fly thing has kept him away so far. i did catch 2 on the fly but the two were either suicidal or just plain retarded not sure at the moment which. ok ,ok when spinning i remove the barbs and haven't killed one in about 8 months that has seen off hand. the key seems to be in setting the hook before the fn thing swallows it, pretty easy 99% of the time unless you are one of those that sets to soon or waits until the fish has swallowed then moved halfway down stream before you set the damn hook. the fly thing is great until a snag then i go atomic and then it is like an fn hurricane of f-ups until i get out the spinner and calm down before breaking the rod and all things around it. need training not just youtube videos i guess, who knows.
