limeyangler Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Went fishing today at work, work with kids in care and take our boys out evey chance i get...which is lots during the summer....gas and minnows on expenses cant be bad, and the kid loves it so its a definite win/win. I had heard the suckers were in the creek and thought it would be fun to have a go catching some. I had a net which would have been easier but the kid wanted to use a rod and line, so i grabbed some small minnows and we headed out. I got 2, the kid tried but was unlucky. QUITE A FEW IN THERE, GOT A COUPLE SMALL ONES After that we headed up the road to a good bass lake by the highway, i kinda thought the water might still be a bit cold and the bass not very active as the lake is spring fed and the ice only cleared of it a week ago. I was wrong, we were there for an hour and got 5 all from shore with slip bobbers and minnows, i lost a real lunker...aint that always the way. KID HOOKED INTO FIRST ONE, IF IT WAS NOT FOR CONFIDENTIALITY YOU WOULD SEE THE BIGGEST GRIN ON HIS FACE I GOT 3 SMALLER ONES AFTER THAT AND OF COURSE THE BIG ONE IS 'THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY' After work i decided to have a few casts at the bottom of our yard......and finally got a decent pike...water must be warming up now, lots of minnows and shiners in the shallows. It should be non-stop big pike down there now for the next 2 weeks before the water warms up more and they move away from the bay, they are always around, but for 2 weeks at ice out there are usually large numbers of large pike right there. I only had one big minnow left so after i got that one i called it a day and grabbed a few moments to watch another beautiful sunset. THATS MORE LIKE IT.....MAYBE 30" USUAL GREAT SUNSET Edited May 11, 2009 by limeyangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
