Headed out today for some droppies on the lower end of an east trib. Got a couple yesterday so I figured I would give it another shot.
Went 3/4 and my buddy was 0/1, all fish on roe.
First fish was an absolute HOG, I can only imagine what a fish this size would look like pre spawn...probably would push the 16-17 pound mark full of eggs. She kicked my ars up and down but I managed to beach her 40 M down from where the battle started.
Here she is
and back she goes
Next up was another feisty dropback hen, also smashed a roe bag right in the wood and I had a hell of a time keepin her out of the wood the entire battle. In the end I had to just lock it down and hope the lead held...
and a little male was the last fish interested.
Good couple hours, now bring on opener!
