Garry2Rs Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Albert, aka HTHM, arrived at my place around 8:30AM Saturday morning. Because heavy rain arrived at almost the same time, we opted to drink coffee and catch-up, until it let up a little. In the end we didn't go out until about 10AM. No problem, the fish were still in the lake and were still biting. We tried Flukes and worms in sparse weeds, but the HOT bite was in heavy weeds where we threw Yum type plastic toads/frogs. We fished for 6 hours and caught 20+ Bass. There were a few insane Dinks, but on these bigger baits most of the hook-ups were around 2 pounds. Albert got a nice one of almost 4 pounds. The best was over 7 pounds!!! She posed with both of us...grin. We also got an incidental Musky on the toad. All were released to fight again. My frog was a Watermelon green with a white belly, Albert used a Tan over yellow. Garry2R's Edited June 27, 2010 by garry2rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeds Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 That does sound like the perfect opener! My day was pretty much the same in that I got extremely wet; but I only managed 9 bass, they were all tiny and there was no musky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still better than sitting on the couch watching the Toronto Riots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTHM Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Just a quick added note, if you look at the pics you can see I am wearing my automatic inflatable......in the rain......well, it did not pop in the boat, but it did pop in my car on the way home.... Anyone know how to deflate the darn thing, and what it will cost to get recharged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how to deflate the darn thing, and what it will cost to get recharged? Isn't is just a CO2 cartridge like you would use in a pellet/bb/air gun? I would guess you can twist it off and it will let the air out or you can read the manual, ya know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
