so i went to my new usual spot today. nothing. not even a bite. but the guy next to me managed to hook up 2 browns.
stayed from like 630am to 830am. no big deal. getting skunked happens.
i decide to try other spots along the way home into DT, since there is no traffic. why not?
pulled into humber bay, waters kinda murky, passed. went to the next nearest place.
i stopped by humber river shore park? parked my car at the first lot in the park. walked to the river.
i tried to see if theres any life around the white bridge thingy.. looking at google maps. thats the mouth to humber river
(sorry if it sounds like im spot burning, not my intention)
all along the shores and into the river as far as i can see, i did not see another fisherman.... not even one. what the hell? :scratching my head:
so im just standing there on the rocks, wetting a line with a lure for about a dozen casts.
so MANY joggers, cyclists, walkers stopped and looked oddly at me. no joke. at a glance i counted ten along the walkway at my back.
they were not just moving and passing by, they stopped, sat down, then proceeded to talk about me. which i overheard. :getting mad by now:
the people walking across the bridge stared at me, the people on top of sheldon lookout stared, and im pretty damn sure the birds were staring oddly at me. what the hell is so weird? im fishing.
the new yorker in me, wanted to turn around and cuss out 'what the eff you all staring at, eff off'. which i refrained from doing.
i mean... what gives. havent you people seen someone trying to fish before?
it felt so damn odd, reeled in, picked up my net, climbed up a few rocks and left.
i was really pissed, im there to enjoy my day the same as all those frickin people.
paid some loose change for parking. minding my own business, not to be stared at like im some sort of freak show.
these people might think im weird? but seriously.. the weird ones are them, so disrespectful and unmannerly.
is fishing really THAT unpopular in that area?
if this applies to fishing in DT along harbourfront, if again im gonna get all these odd stares and nosy onlookers.
i seriously dont want to even go fish there. even though i live about 3 blocks from the water.
sorry if i post this half rant/report in the wrong place. mods please move if so.
