OK it would have taken them a bit of time... Went fishin' today and I almost got nibbled to death. It was distracting as they went after the hair on my legs. ...and to think city folk pay good money for a pedicure like this. No I didn't catch anything worth eatin', just lots of small smallmouth bass. Which is why they call it fisnin' and not catchin'.
Catch a thousand of them and you have a meal Though I will say you have found the breeding grounds... and the lunkers are nearby
Drives me crazy when the lakes are filled with baitfish, can't seem to catch a darn thing because their food supply is so huge.
I say that exact phrase, every Year about this time..... However, it is the Alaskan Mosquitoes... Doing the nibbling.....
I was stationed out on Adak Island back in the early 70's. First time I went walking out in the tundra I had two mosquito's land on either side of me when I was taking a break. One turned to the other and said "Think we should eat him here or take him someplace else before the big guys get here ?" .
Survival fishing with fish like that....think scoop net....or....a hand dynamo with a cable into the water....don't be standing in the water tho when you're generating the electricity!
