jwl Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Set out to do some shore trashin today..ended up running into a couple good fishin buds and fellow nut job steelie anglers just about to head out in the boat. I was about to make some tracks to a quieter area on acount of the crowd that was already there, and low and behold, got an un expected invite out in the boat to join them for the day. Good thing I always throw the floater jacket in with me Water is less than perfect...about the tannish colour of a cardboard box for lack of a better term We worked the crap out of one small area that's been putting out a few when the conditions are off. Took a while to find the right colour pattern to use for the day but all in all dispite the ice in the morning( spot was making ice as we fished ) and the less than a foot viz of brown water, we winded up going 8 for 12 for the day......this 4 is the contribution I made to the 8 I just noticed the "money shot" on the smaller one chicka..chicka...wahhh...wahh...say hello to Uncle Milty!

smokin joe Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Very nicely done Jack, those are some beauties. Way to go man. I have a strong feeling that the rest of the ice bridge up at the falls will be breaking up this weekend which will send more ice down that way, then it should be smooth sailing after that.

Joey Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Super report Jack, I'm glad you got a chance to fish from a boat and got into some nice fish too. Doncha just hate when you catch a fish as soon as you light up a smoke Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwl Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 did the first three come on that one cigarette Jack? Nice job! no but the middle 2 did , started the drift, I got one, we did the CPR,I was manning the electric motor for my buddy, so after I got the boat straightened out again and put my line back in because we still had about 1/2 the drift left we could fish, then I got the other one. It started off a little slow becasue of the muddy conditions, but once we threw a pattern on the fish we had some decent action for a while, my buddy lost 2 that where well into the teens I didn't throw a measurement on the fish although it was longer than the one I have entered for Team#1, we where in my buddy's small boat, I set out to do some shore trashin and got an invite to hop aboard so there was 3 of us in the boat, not much room for getting all fancy with tapemeasures and such I will get a bigger one by the end of the tourney anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
