So I take the boat out to Lake Perris, with a friend for a days fishing. Get there, get launched - things are looking good, light breeze throwing some small waves on the water, only 7 boats in total on the lake. Some guy on the launch ramp has forgotten his worm bag, sort him out with a couple of bags of plastic's - good deed for the day done.
We're bobbing around, throwing some top waters, drop shot, texas rigged craw's all the normal stuff - then the frustration started - every single bite I could get going, I missed every single damn fish. Got hit hard near the end of the dam, struck into it, looked at Rob, fish on - ping, fish off. We move to a cove I like fishing, as its got a drop off into deeper water, and can generally always grab a couple there - got hit and hit hard, fish on, rod's curved big time, I've got a grin on my face (hoping its a big striper) - ping, fish off.
After a morning of those, I'm getting annoyed with myself - looked at Rob, "next fish that comes off, I'm going in and grabbing it by its face and asking it what the hell, just take the damn bait already". Get hit, fish on - ping, fish off.
Out of 14 bites, landed exactly zero - thats none, nada, zilch - not a single fish. That said, great day on the water, very little traffic, the people we did see were all friendly and we're swapping advice/stories etc. Was good to get out, if frustrating that my slow donut couldnt quite get em to stayed hooked up.
