Today was the day to take all the equipment out for a test drive
cooks Bay seemed like the place to go
Loaded up a heck of a lot of stuff and off I went
I was surprised but how many vehicles were already parked by 830 am on a Thursday, but there they were.
the skidoo smoked a bit at first but ran great, stopped at 21ft of water dropped a line the fishfinder and the camera
right away there were lots of perch swimming around, so I set up the recorder. Wouldn't you know it as soon as I got the recorder recording all fish had swam away
but 5 minutes later they were back and now I have 2 hours for perch recorded..don't know why..LOL
I did a lot of playing around watching them attack and miss or sneak up and nibble it
I was surprised how far they have to move before you feel the bite.
I kept about 15 for a meal and let the rest go
it was a fun morning on the water and all equipment checked out just fine...except I left my lunch and coffee in the truck.
better then forgetting the fishing rods I guess
got back to the truck and I don't think there were any parking spots left in the area
here is a short clip of the fish, I will post the long one when I am fishing making it small enough to be up loaded
