JB 2-19

tshikano · 02-20-11, 08:17 AM

I had a couple of hours to fish at JB after the fishing show. Water was not as clear as I expected. Did it rain up there?

I started with a trout magnet as usual, tried a couple of different colors, but not bite at all. I switched to a white 1.5" tube for fun. I didn't have a jig head, so I put a split shot about 1' above the hook. And, suddenly, I started getting strikes. I landed a 10" bow, and saw another one following the tube later. I don't know if I was getting short strikes (all I had was #10 hooks), but I could not set the hook, so just one rainbow.

I saw so many corn cans. Some were just empty, some still had corn in them. It was one of the worst I've seen (some may say I haven't fished there often enough). Anyways, they should have picked them up after fishing.

No I dont believe there was any rain up here. I hate hearing about the corn cans (any cans for that matter)... I seem to find and throw away a few each time im at JB, a lot seems to be in the strangest spots.

I found about 9 ~ 10 cans. I don't know if that's considered as "many" to regulars; I started fishing last June, so although I've fished about 30 time so far, it hasn't been a year yet. I'm a bank fisherman, so I tend to see these since I'm probably fishing from the same spots as they do; I have 5 I "regularly" fish at and saw multiple cans at 4 spots. I try to pick up trash whenever I can, but sometimes I forget to bring a garbage bag. One time I found a pair of red swim pants or underwear.

Last summer, I saw this old lady just walking around and picking up trash almost every time I was there. I cannot thank her enough. I've been to JB only a couple of times this year, but I haven't seen her yet. I hope she is OK.

We need to encourage the cobras to show themselves more frequently up there. Can we get the feds to post a few signs warning of poisonous snakes? It wouldn't be an exaggeration.

There was an easy solution. I went back to JB, but this time I snipped the end of tail/skirt or whatever you call it. I landed a few. Trouts preferred to hit all white (more like pearl I guess). I'm saving other colors for crappie.
