"Well I decided I can't go out for opener week and not have any pics for you folks so I was feeling a bit better and decided to head back out by myself, got out for a couple hours and got 8 more and lost a few no big ones or anything sepcial just some 15-16 inchers." Now that's a dedicated OFC'er. Great pic of the little one driving the boat too.

congrats on the new PB..... that shallow runner gives me ideas..... hmmmm ... lol

sounds like it was a blast....

Opening week finally arrived. I have been dreaming about bass smashing my topwater lures for a few weeks now. My plans for heading north got waylayed at the last minute and I was just a little bummed out. But after reading another report here this week on Urban fishing I adjusted my attitude and went with what I could do. Sleep was almost non-existent Friday night until about 5 am sat when I finally fell asleep " for just a few more minutes".... Yeah right... 7 am... shiiite.... I am LATE Jumped in the truck and wouldn't ya know it... a LINE UP @ TIMMIES on a Saturday morning Relax ron.... relaaax,.. the fish will still be there... lol I went to "my local " honeyhole and tied on the ScumFrog( black). Five minutes later and KERSPLASH,.... he missed it.. Who cares.... I saw it.... my blood was pumping..... A few minutes later.... another one goes for my black frog..... This time i was TOO EXCITED and didn't wait to FEEL the fish... Winter rust in the topwater technique Moving on to another access spot.... i toss that frog back out to some lilypads.... KRUNNNCH..... MISSED again The good news is that I think I have the right colour frog on.... on cloudy days at this reservoir I always use black. I decided to walk a ways and try another spot that has produced for me consistently. On the way to that spot I have to walk across a long boardwalk....Just for the helluvit I stopped and tossed the frog in to six inches of water near a log that was justting out from some bushes at waters edge... Just as the frog came down on the near side of the log.... KRRUNCH.... I wait... one thousand, twothousand.... SET THE HOOK.. FISH ON !..... I get it on deck.... I AM NOT SKUNKED for the opener... It wasn't my biggest Largie by any stretch at this location.... who cares... I am not skunked.. It's amazing how much the fishing seems to get better when the pressure of that first fish is off my back. Here are a few more from the topwater opener: That frog took a beating : And this one felt a LOT BIGGER that it was.... no wonder... i pulled its body weight in weeds in with it And here was the largest for the weekend.... the pic doesn't do it justice... it was a real fattie... I really need to figure out how to make my arms longer when using my blackberry for pictures: Thank goodness I read that other URBAN FISHING report this week
