GrundleLove Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Had a good time except for the fact that I got skunked. Well, I got outfished by a Herring, literally. Thanks again tate for the ride along, learned lots. Dont know if I will be attending the next one, someone who can actually catch fish can take my spot. and yes I am still bitter. Quote
tate Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Grundle you did fine .... you did all the right things ..... We all have days like that so no worry. It was fun fishing with you .... I do hope you try to make the next get together. Now about that Herring ..... he did a heck of a job! Amazing large trout. With water temps at 81 you would think the trout would be deep but that one WAS in less than a foot of water before he was lunch. - Tate Quote
GrundleLove Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I was thinking about that trout earlier today....that literally made 0 sense. I mean think about it: 81 degree temp, VERY shallow water, heading straight for the herring...it was like it actually wanted to die. i am still baffled. i bet that herring was JACKED up on his huge lunch he had.

Jones508 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Don't let the suicidal trout bring you down! Seriously though it could have been me instead getting shut out. I just happened to run into one little guy, and maybe 10 minutes before we were finished at that. A wise man once told me it's not always about the fishing... Quote
ukbumpkin Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Haha Grundle, the big difference between you and the herring (other than the wings and what not) is that you're fishing for the fun of it and the herring is doing it to survive. Sure the herring got lucky and landed meal of the season, but I think it is fair to say that predatory instincts of survival will more often than not out perform a guy in a boat looking for some fun. I hope you can make the next outing and I will be there for sure. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted July 25, 2011 Super User Posted July 25, 2011 I have been following this thread, out of jealousy for the most part, and when you guys started mentioning the herring I was confused. Then I saw the last post and put it together, your referring to a Heron,a large usually grey bird, eats fish, hangs around a lake, not a herring, a saltwater schooling fish good for eating. Am I correct? Quote
tate Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 hahah .... yep .... Heron as in Great Blue ..... I'm always told that I am terrible with names and I guess this fits in that category. lol Quote
grampa1114 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Grundle if you want another crack at Whitehall...let me know...I've been skunked there before myself...and you better show up at the next one...it's not official without you. Quote

Diablos Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I think I will be able to make the Mashpee-Wakeby 'get together' Quote
xjma99 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Hello...there's another whole thread...Eastern Mass Get Together-Part II...Jump in anytime... I've seen it and probably won't be able to make anything prior to laborday , and I don't know that pond either (not that I'm ever opposed to trying something new, especially something on the cape!). Next time yall wanna have a get together at the previous location, let me know, I can be of assistance in gaining access to private land abutting the lake for additional trailer parking/whatever.
