Newton

[SkunkedAgain]

I went out again last night after work and tried it again, what a slick muddy mess..... Seemed a lot worse last night than the first night, maybe because my knees were giving me issues trying to walk on the rocks between sliding down the hill on the clay with zero traction.... Old knee injury seemed to be flaring up a little too much in those conditions... Anyway the fishing was pretty slow too.... Only got 6 perch last night.... I seen two dead Tiger's last night, probably a sign of things to come... It's not going to be good I'm afraid.... Water level was still dropping after 1.25" of rain so it's not good news for Newton in the short term... Plenty of people fishing even on a week day... I didn't see any other fish caught last night, but my eyes aren't that great lately, so they may have been having the trip of their life, but I doubt it... Anyway i forgot last night to take a trash bag with me, but I'd suggest if you go and try it, take a trash bag and pick up a load... That place is so junky and it's a tackle scroungers paradise, so many jigs and plastics scattered all over the place, even seen an old rod and reel laying on the rocks, not to mention a half dozen golf balls... I feel bad I didn't have something to carry more trash out of there, but without a bag I could only fill my cooler and that didn't make much of a dent in the mess... There is a dumpster there so you don't have to haul the garbage home, you can just chuck it in the dumpster before you leave... If you're looking for a youth service project that would be a good one to do... Anyway enough of my soap box... Later J
