Fishing
at Sundown 8/16/06 Mark Burchick
Mark, Jeb and I got
out to a local pond
at around 6:30 PM.
We started with
plastics including
tubes and worms.
In the twilight
we switched over
to spinner
baits.
Jeb and I caught
a fish at the
same time, both
on a Senko worm.
Ok, it's dark,
and this photo
has been greatly
enhanced to
improve contrast
(Microsoft
Digital Image
Pro). Mark's,
Jimmy Houston
kissing pose,
looks more like
Mick Jagger. I
can't figure out
how to get the
flash to work on
the camera. The
pond now has
several bats
flying over the
open water, and
we can hear a
chorus of
crickets and
frogs. Fish are
slapping the
surface, and
Mark ties on a
Heddon
Zara-Spook. It's
chugger, Pop-R
and Spro frog
time! We can
barely see
anything, Jeb is
whining, but
that Spook was
the lure of
choice, and was
a catching
machine. Have
you ever tried
to pull treble
hooks in the
dark? PS: 9:30
PM. I'm reading
my Nikon D-70
owners manual
regarding my
flash. I think I
need a beer to
figure this out.
