StoneFly Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I hate to say it...but I bet tommorrow will be a zooo where you are going,..and the lack of a good rain for a while means 'If' there are any fish left down below,..they are gonna be pretty colouored and hurtin from all this warm weather.

raptorfan Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Well stone fly, you were pretty much dead on. The traffic there wasn't as bad as I expected, but the bite wasn't there at all. Out of all the people I saw fishing on the 2 miles of river we fished, I only saw one hen landed. I must say though it was an absolutely gorgeous morning to be out, and the scenery was fantastic (I love summer ladies :D ). With all this said though, I did FINALLY land my first fish on a centerpin!!! Saw my float dip a bit, set the hook and thought I missed it, till I saw a nice swell under the water and the line started to spin off my reel. My heart started racing.......then I noticed all the fins on the fish.....I had hooked a sucker in the arse!!!! Ah well, still landed my first fish on a centerpin....lol Shawn Edited April 2, 2010 by raptorfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Atta boy! Now you got some practice reeling something in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorfan Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Another positive I took out of it was I think I am getting my bait in the right spots. If I am getting a sucker in the belly, I must be staying pretty close to the bottom of the pools I am fishing. My casting accuracy and control is getting much better, as is my drift control. Many positives to take out of today. I am always an optimist Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I just got home after leaving the house this morning at 3am. Best day of 2010 to date, double/triple headers, fresh chromers from the lake and piles and piles of fish. I'm going to bed, lol.. Shawn, congrats on getting your first fish on a pin!!

raptorfan Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Awesome Bill! I would have been out that long probably as well if it wasn't for an easter dinner this afternoon and my bowling league tonight. My boy did ask me when I got home though if we could go tomorrow (was very suprised he asked!) so we are gonna hit up the spot again for 3 hrs in the morning before yet another easter dinner.......
