Failed plans to fish Blue Creek today led goin_postal and I here. I arrived a little before him and the spot had 6 guys fishing along side the shoreline. Our goal was to get our limit before Tribal began netting at noon. The water was somewhat murky and higher than last time I fished here, So I just added a bit more weight to tick the bottom. Goin_postal got his limit and I was still struggling to find the slot and any fish. I don't know if you guys remember that Coca Cola commercial from the 1970's with Mean Joe Greene? And how he gave that kid his jersey? Well that kinda happened with us. I just couldn't get these fish to take anything I was throwing today. Goin_postal while tagging his gorgeous fish, reached into his tackle box and tossed me one of his favorite secret color corky, "Hey jens catch" I almost fumbled his offerering but was able to grab it in mid air. I quickly changed rigs, while trying to shield the other guys along the shore from taking a peek on what I was putting on. I kid you not, 5th cast- snag?? is it? Yes!! Fish on! There was no way in hell this fish was coming off. I took my time and let the fish tire on its own. Goin_postal borrowed a net and attempted to secure my fish. I don't know if this net was an aquarium net meant for goldfish, but it snapped in two when my fish squirmed in the netting. Oops. Finally, I get one here. Goin_postal's promotion of WashingtonLakes.com got 2 lurkers to say they were going to sign up. Tony and Brian- welcome!!
