Well went out today to try my luck, arrived at 1 pm and started trolling in the 20-35ft range using two poles. I had a few drive by's and then the pole doubles over and its fish on. Took my time as this was a nice fish, the normal head shaking trying super hard to get off. I had just retied some new hooks with a stinger trebble hook so my heart was pounding thinking did I tie it right or not..well after a nice fight he made it into the net. He measured 17".

I reset the gear and headed around the lake. The lake was very calm and flat, had a few rain drops but nothing major. I found some nice balls of fish but did not hook anything out of them and I tried hard. I was using a clown dodger and a pink wiggle hotchie with some glow beads that I tied with two hooks. I did manage to hook into one more fish that was a nice size fish but when I went to grab the net it came off the hook. That fish bit the bloody mary by wanafishalure but it never made it into the net but got a nice look at it another nice koke.

I headed home at 4pm as it was getting dark and cold....will be back again soon.


Tight lines everyone!!

Eric
