so this guy.
hangs out on PPOT. haven't heard from him in awhile. but he is a regular.
he reaches out to me unsolicited. he says, "hey, i have this simple fish finder i dont need, you want it?" we work out a deal and we TRADE! fun trade. what a fun trade.
well, i got the fish-finder hooked up after sourcing a cool lightweight battery. (drilling a 1" hole in a brand new kayak - SUCKS) and you know what? total GAME-CHANGER. i have been fishing a tiny local lake. all of us Kayaks launch from this crappy ramp, that has been long neglected after they quit allowing motor powered boats. then we paddle out to where we think the bass are. i was just about to do the same thing when a guy comes back in..he says, "it is way too crowded over there" he pulls his kayak and leaves...in the meantime i had peeked at my graph..WTF? it looked like a fish town meeting! right below my boat. and i see a hump. there is an ancient abandoned car down there. at around 10 feet of water. i pulled a lot of bass from and around that car.
sad part. other kayaks see me hauling out bass and they all start to orbit me. secret is out. the sunken car is now no longer a secret. hahhaha. i kept quiet as a mouse, but a jumping bass makes a very distinctive sound.
thanks Tishabet.. i will put it to good use. heck, i already have!
