1552, So pissed at Chesbro
Posted by bruin, Wed Jul-04-01 05:59 PM
Monday night I fished chesbro from shore and saw lots of good looking signs for largemouth. I was bankfishing for bream for my aquarium. Saw this guy pull a nice largemouth to the bank and then it just came off as he was about to lip it. He was throwing a white fluke, it looked like. Fella said he pulled in a 6 pounder the previous night. Fishing along the same stretch of shore were these four no-class A holes who were throwing out chicken liver and crawlers for cats. I'll get back to them in a minute.

Tuesday I came back and tubed my way across the dam face to the first back cove on the other side of the lake. I was splitshotting along the steep bank face and on three successive casts nailed three largemouths. I only had extralight spinning gear so they all put up a good fight, despite being each around 1.5#. I would have stuck around longer and thoroughly scoped the cove out but my tube had a slow leak. Must have got pricked by a thistle as I was coming down the hill. After that third fish I was sitting uncomfortably low. Nice cove with lots of submerged timber.

Kicked back over to the boat ramp and saw that those A holes from last night had left all their chicken liver containers on the bank! I was pissed. It's a small lake but I think it is such a great resource, as I fish it pretty regularly. Stuff like that pisses me off. I'm sure locals like Wade would agree that something needs to be done.

What would you guys do?!

Take a kid to Chesbro for bluegill, by the way. They can practice casting and playing the fish on ultralight all night long as the bream are spawning.
