Wow , best 48 hours of fishing in my life.
Yesterdays lakerfest was fun and all but i don't fish Lake O for lakers. I've been itchin for some kings for 6 months. I've scratched the itch with browns, carp, and lakers but i needed to feel an angry spring king on the end of the line.
problem was i diddnt have anyone to fish with...every one I called was busy on the Monday. Then I come across Donnely in my phone ive known him for years but we dont hang out as much as we should ...He is the kind of pal you don't talk to for months but is DFW......phone call made ... perfect he is is in.... we both want to loose a few braincells on Sunday evening so a 7 am start is settled.
I was torn, to continue on with our sure thing laker beat down from the evening before of search for kings. A big moon and a high sun with flat water made the decision difficult. but we rolled the dice. set up shallow and trolled into the horizon avoiding the lemmings ( pack of 30 boats ) till we found some cooperative fish.
we lost the first 2 fish halfway to the boat ..we sharpend some hooks and our luck changed
landed these two pigs then the cookie cutters took over
what a weekend and great start to the season
