Urban Bass Ninja's

A good friend of mine brought his family to the area for a few days of hanging out and doing a whole lotta nothing.  We booked a couple rooms at a local hotel so the kids could swim and dirty somebody else's carpets.  It just so happened that the hotel was on the water and despite being posted "NO FISHING" we  donned our ninja activewear and hoisted some Large Mouth after dark.

River pit stop...

The job required a site visit near the big river today.  It's too bad I didn't pack my 13' Croix, the Nautilus with a compact scandi and a box of flies...oh wait...I did.  SMB action from the dock.

Birds

Not until I bought a house and married my wife (a fan of the birds) did I pay any attention to them...this is what I'd been missing:

1st SMB of the year

Nosed around a local lake today and intercepted the first smallmouth of the year

Mung

  

Out in MA hoping for some stripers...hit the beach and the mung was everywhere.  I don't know who first named this seaweed "mung" but it fits.  It mungs up the fishing.  I settled for a beach, rental car, rod, stripping basket and lighthouse photo.  Damn.
