IV work, mosquitoes and humidity 09.17/18.21

Brutal IV run. Mosquitoes were RELENTLESS. Humidity was downright nasty, wind was almost totally FLAT, adding to the problem. Pulled a few big ones out of the far north, but conditions were just ugly. Ah, yes, ADIP ... Kid says I ended with 33 for myself, if so, more than half mini/tilapia, bluegill and LMB at our first stop up north, four LMB, with three hooked messed up and legal, so into the cooler, though on the smaller side. Went around the corner, started pulling a couple decent channel cats (and a small FCF gut hooked, dang), and one tanker turtle (needed the line and a flipper grip to get it up the bank). About the time I gave up on that spot (still fishing well, but those conditions, ew), this truck rolls up. I give the typical "How you doing?" To which a lady I can barely see asks me about a ride. Oh no, I tell her, I am good, just out here fishing with my kid. She says no, give me a ride (I am confused, she rolls up in a nicer truck than I've ever owned). She gets out and I realize I am dealing with a scantily clad tweeker chick in the moonlight, no shoes either. No idea where she got the truck, probably found it in a yard out there, keys in it. Starts talking about me giving her a ride. I tell her "No, sorry chief, can't do it. Have my kid with me and I am headed out into the boonies even farther." Already made up my mind to call the cops and let em know. Get in and get ready to go, then the broad decides to jump in my back seat, WTF! Basically I forced her out of my car and locked the doors. Start pulling off and she is knocking at my windows. Peel out and gone. Called the cops, gave full description of tweeker, F series pump truck, location etc. One of the strangest things to ever happen to me out there. Guess all's well that ends well, yikes. Anyway, wandered down a different direction for a couple more for the cooler while I wound down, then went to an old camping spot in the southwest to relax and take a nap. Two dudes fishing down there to my surprise, they were cool and seemed shocked at what was in my coolers while we shot the bull. Rested a bit after that, woke up at three and caught a black carp. Back to take it easy and wait for the pre dawn bite that usually happens at that spot. Saw the sun peeking out and got started. Not two minutes in, first striper (should have started earlier), a minute later, another. Four bluegill, a couple small channels, decided to call it and toss the squarebill around on the BC. One bump (I think) and about it, while I waited for the kid to wake up. Caught another eater or two as we worked out way home. Camera girl whiffed an amazing chance at a short video with a two lb class channel, I get it, good footage isn't easy, would have been an incredible video though. Ah well, another amazing day in the valley, even if the Aedes mosquitoes were brutal. Downright ugly, not for the faint of heart for sure...
Edit: species.. tilapia, largemouth, bluegill, channel cat, flathead, common carp, striper, spiny softshell... Eight species on rod n reel? In less than a day? I will take it

Glad it worked out as well as it did. Asked the kid later, what has a worse odor, the new river or her... She said it was the lady... Damn

 

Already worked it over with some N alkyl compounds

 

Jenx .. this was NOWHERE. I mean nowhere. Crazy how far out there we were, really.
Neuroshima , that was just wild. Kid was scared too...

 

I was in the other corner, out in no man's land

 

Yeah man... That was some crazy stuff, there. At least the fish were biting, lol

 

It's a fun place, RamonaAngler . It has its' challenges, but there is one heck of a lot of fish out there. Hit me up before you go (if you ever do), the bass should be going to town next month if you wanted to make the run.

VinnyBass , it's one thing to teach a woman how to dress, but if you gave her any instructions about hygiene, she has done enough drugs to forget. Next time, try to make sure you get those lessons to sink in a little deeper, eh? Hahaha...

 

Next month is the real good fishing... First time that's ever happened to me, or heard of it, lol. Likely the last. It's an incredibly fun place to go and fish
