Artan,
Just one word on the cat:
Day-yum!

So I went out to the dam this morning and caught 3 whites and 3 10-12" stripers before they opened the flood gates @ 11:00. After the gates were opened I only got one hit. The wind was blowing very hard and made casting fun. I caught my cheek on my backcast and it was not fun pulling the clouser from my face SO from that point I was forced to practice my backwards casting.
Nice meeting you Arten, I prolly won't go tomorrow but maybe next weekend if not during the week. I really want to go hit up some of those smallies on texoma as well.

nice to meet you too scott. i skunked out. just one hit. i wish i woulda woke up early enough. but i was sick this morning. it was a mess out there today. big wind. low water level. lots of orientals trying to come right inbetween us. i got a headache and went home

so now we has racist fishermen here.....
Artan...WTF.....im asian..ya i fly fish.....ya i go to the spill way.... why do you have to say racist comments.. i dont say anything about you. Last i saw of your picture, you dont look white. Why cant you say..there are just rude fishermen at the spill way.... i seen black , white , mexican and asian... etc that have no sense on a fishing zone around people..i am pretty offended. Heck a lot of guys cut me off to down there. I will say this Artan, say thing to most of them oriental guys down there will and i bet some of them will put a bullet in your a**.. i am not like that..but i know how most of those guys are..they dont play nice.. ...keep your mouth shut to them if u want some advice.

5wt, I don't think I read that the same way you did.
You should have just let that pass. Your resposesays a lot more about you, than his said.
Remember, that the fish has no idea who is on the other side of that pole. Fish are smart that way. People should be as well.
Peace out.

it was not ment to affend you 5wt. i should have said fisherman your right. I have nothing against orientals. i dont have anything against any race/religeon. Sorry if i affended you. i hope it did not ruin your day

I here you Artan, I'm not pleased with fisherman that want to fish in my shadow. Cool heads will prevail

Hey Artan, did you go back today ?

i just went to the store and i could not stop thinking about this thread. i read my post over 20 times. and its not even racist. 5wt your the one who brought racist into this thread. i just said oriental. because it was oriental guys that tried to get between us. if it was a black man i would have said black man. maybe i "stereo typed" a little. but in no way is that racist. i think you over reacted, and owe me an apology for that accusation of me being racist.


scott- good thing you did not drive all the way out here. they released water from the flood gates. water was up to the steps. fishing was bad. i saw some black mullet running on the oklahoma side. but i didnt even get a bite. i stayed for an hour. went to have breakfast with a friend of mine that met me up there. and i went home

Don't let it get to you Artan, I'm asian and it bugs me sometimes too whenever other fisherman (even oriental ones) crowd me. I just started fly fishing last year and it actually might benefit others to stay away from me lol.

Artan, like I said in my earlier post, just let it pass. 5wt may be just having a bad day. It happens to all of us. Sometimes we say things first, think later.
Fish, and let fish.

People on this forum are so touchy, whether its racism, bowfishing, or snakes.

seeems like i made somewhat of a mess.. artan..didnt mean to call u a racist..i took it as u didnt like "orientals/asians". you corrected your statement....thanks.

World peace through fishing forum.
What a concept.
Fish on guys, or should I say, gentlemen.

anyways guys. the fishing in the red river is gonna suck for a week. because the flood gates will be open 24rs. thats what the core of engineers say
