Dara Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Well, it was so nice Saturday I decided I needed a bit of time on the water. I decided that about 12;30 in the afternoon. By 1;30 I had bait and the boat launched. I love having a garage to park the boat in so that its all ready to go. Well. I fished all over looking for jumbos or eyes. Sad day again. OK, one more spot before I call it quits. One line down trolling and I decide I'm going to put a second down. Right away the rod on the holder starts to bouncing. Toss the tangled line down and grab the rod. I nail a 3 lb smallmouth. Not what I was gunning for but at least its a fish. Toss it back, forgot my camera darnitt, and get set up again. One line down and managed to egt the second down this time. Bang, second rod a bouncing. This is a pita, trying to keep on trolling and reel a fish in. I lands a 18" eye. Into the live well you go baby. OK, skip the second line. back to the beginning of the troll patern and put the line down. Not 5 minutes and something wants to rip it out of my hand. Then leaves. Fix the bait and back down again...5 minutes and bang. After a good battle I land a 22 incher. Another couple of misses, one to the boat and drops off and its time to head in for dinner. A nice day on the water. Then Monday getting toward the end of the work day I decides its a good night to try again. Call up my buddy and see if he feels like going along. OK, 5;15 at my house. Hitched up and fishing by 6. 6;30 first fish is in the boat. another 22 incher sadly that was the only one but I have them tuned in now. Expecting a good season. It was a nice evening on the water.

Dara Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 That last one looks like he got punched in the mouth! I have a pretty good grip on him, his gill got smushed up. Almost jumped overboard on me. Can't wait to get out there again. I figure about 3 times a week for the next month should cover it. And yes..St Marys area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it have to be over 26" to earn the name of "Walter"? I think that was the rule at Red Pine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
