aniceguy Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thats how many hours I fished in the last 3 days Strike 1 Strike 2 Strike 3 You’re Out Of Here A Phrase more commonly used for Baseball, and that’s what inspired the cluster of fishing I encountered this weekend. With the world series ending and seeing a true Indian Summer, I figured no better time than the present to get a few days of fishing in. The problem with that is that with mid Fall the options are enormous both for species and locations. I figured a trifecta was really in order. Friday early a friend and I decided to take a cooler than normal day to go fish for some early fall brown trout, the action was far from the fast and furious but none the less it was an ok day by fall brown standards. Sadly my camera was at home so there are no current pictures but it was a nice day out and now armed with some fresh eggs its time for some extended fall fishing the prize Saturday came and figuring I would stay local, come home early and do some yard work with a bbq and kick back with some suds I didn’t venture far. If one knows what and where these fish are usually you can tie into a few, some were spectacular fall tanks and really hammer home why I love fall steelhead so much Sometimes I ll take time to compose a picture and really make sure it reflects the moment and the fish also, sometimes it’s a point click and off I go day, I think this weekend was a bit of both One of the many nice fish from the day I found this colored up male to be the the fittest of the lot and a fish that had some serious stones, he's one for the books this year for sure This fish had a really pretty chrome hue to her almost stright silver, another memorable fish for the day Finally the last two fish were noteworthy because of the way in which they fought. North shore Steelhead from some of the rivers in the fall have nothing on thier mind once hooked other then to turn and book as hard and as fast as they can these two were true examples of this, anyone knowing my girth will attest Im a sloth and wont chase fish, these two had me book 1/4 mile down river, in the end they were well worth the cause I enjoyed the beers afterwards on the deck watching my lamb chops cook, smiling about the day on the water and knew what was in store for the next day Packed the boat and knowing that Erie would fish prime I asked a friend if he wanted to fish a tournament there, he was not into it so I said heck with it lets just fun fish....In retrospect it might not have been a bad Idea to have entered the bag was worth it. Erie is like no place on planet Earth for monster smallies in November, where 3 pounders are clones under that is a dink and 4's are common with the chance at a 6 in every drift cast or jig. I came home and looked at the pics and realized man I need to give my buddy a lesson in composition, but siffice to say Im exhaused from the day I would have loved a few group shots but having lost my fizzing needle I wasnt prepared to have even a single one of these majestic toads float up so they were snapped and put back a great point for anyone bass fishing is to spin the fish for what ever the reason they always torpedo down deep and in these fishes case its the best for them. The people that ran this event are some of the best bass conservationalists around and are always going to do whats best for the fish.... It really was one of those sweet fish days weather water and beyond that started with this that turned into this figuring we needed to move around a bit and after serious time spend on some highly detailed paper maps then checking them on the lake it was off to find these It was pretty fast and furious but with no real wind it was a spot on a spot sort of day with fish spitting smelt so much that it turned into a gull bonanza too, everything eats way too much erie including me lol I had way to many mortedella sandwiches today, I dont know why I typed it but I did.... Anyhow after a small lul in the action we moved and found these final fish Finally it ended on this note....it made the drive back to the ramp that much nicer Thats it I fished for a total of close to 24 hours over the last 72, Im tired I stink I need several showers but god I love fall fishing.... Seems I have a touch of the flu and need a few days to recoperate, maybe I ll fish the next couple of days the fresh air does wonders enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
