More Fish Identifying as Another (3/6)

[Latimeria]

Went down to the puddles after work to try and catch some of the fresh stocked trout from Friday.  No one there and perfect trout weather.  I found 6 different trout chilling at the shoreline and tried everything to get them to bite, but no deal.  It was infuriating...

Anyway, 2.5 hours goes pretty quick and my 2 bait rods never moved and the trout in Lake 4 weren't hungry.

With 20 minutes left before they kicked everyone out, I ran to Lake 3 for one last shot at glory!  It was 4:58 and my rod doubled over!  I thought I had the big slug at the bell! 

After fighting it halfway in, I realized it wasn't a trout, but another damn catfish that identified as a trout.  Ugh...



Well, it still was a skunk buster thankfully! 

Anyway, it's nice having some place to fish a half mile away.  I don't like dropping $14 for permit and parking, but it's pretty cheap fun for a quick afterwork session.

Skunk buster is always a good thing, did you spit on your bait ??

Only a half a mile away?  The $14 wouldn't bother me if we had some kind of water that close.  I'm jealous

Nice catfish. Did you get it on an inflated nite crawler?
Second what Vern said. I spend more than $14 in gas getting to the beach.

Yep, the inflated crawler. 

I laugh as I also know it would cost me more than $14 for a bay run so the convenience is perfect for the money.  Only issue is these are tough lakes to fish and I've cursed them out more times than I can remember over the last 20 years.  lol
