I went fishing today and got a reminder just how big my home lake is. At 56k acres, even the furthest backwaters are daunting, overgrown and
mysterious....
Back bay off Lake Murray, SC.
Standing in the rain today, I was casting my little Beetle Spin from the bank and generally loving the angling life. Then I spotted something swimming in the murky water. Like most of the East, we've had nothing but rain for weeks and the water is like chocolate milk.... visibility is one inch or less. No joke.
I rear back to cast and IT broke the surface. To be honest, I don't know what I saw. It was 30 yards out and both the rain and water conditions made it impossible to tell. it was big enough to make me question my sanity, though.
It had fins; I could see that much. At four feet, give or take, it was prowling along minding its own affairs. My guess is a large catfish. 75+ pounders are routinely taken from the main lake.... ten miles away. However, weeks of swollen creeks dumping into the lake could very well have brought one of the beasts into this back water.
It may have also been a *medium* sized gar, which is worse. I caught one last year from my kayak that had me pretty shook up. Again, I was flinging a Beetle Spin into some shallow structure and thought I had hung on a snag... until my "snag" swam off with me in tow. When I had reeled myself up to it - not the other way round - I saw what I had to contend with. Lets just say I was relieved when it spit my battered spinner back into my lap and sauntered off.
No kidding; it actually sauntered. I felt like I was no more than a bothersome little pimple on its @ss
If you've ever seen one of these long-nose gar, you'll know that having one at tubin' level cannot be for the faint of heart. If you've NEVER seen one, think barracuda with a longer, bigger mouth.
I recently sold a ten foot kayak so I could try tubing. Right now, I'm checking Craigslist for a bigger kayak...
