Skunk thread (aka the walk of shame)

[shapirus]

Went for my first time fishing on Toronto islands on Victoria Day with some pike-oriented gear to explore the waters and maybe catch something if I'm lucky. Caught a small pike, and a bigger one (not sure it was even a pike) managed to get off the hook before I could see it. Wow, thought I, there are fish in these waters waiting to be caught, I'll come again.

Came again twice since then, made casts from pretty much every inch of the available shore line all the way from west to east and had zero bites. Saw no sign of any fish except some huge carps lazily cruising just below the surface.

No doubt I will go there again. I know those pikes are waiting for me.
