spincast Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Last Saturday I got back from a week at Gowganda for the annual get away with my bud Kev (post to come). G spent the night at a friends down the street and saunters down as soon as I pull up. We do the meet and greet thing, and I ask him, "did ya miss me?"'Sure did Dad - when can we go fishin?" "ummmm, think we gotta clear that one with Mum' 10 seconds later " she says its OK, what time we leaving?". Ahh, a boy after my own heart. Sunday 4:30 we're up and bound for the regular hunting grounds. The Lake is coming alive. On the water by 6:30, first two bows in the boat by 8:30, 1 more bow and a Salmon in by 9:30 (that woke G up from a quick snooze when it hit the dipsey and peeled about 100 foot of line off immediately) and a couple near misses, including one bow G fought for 250 + foot just for us to watch him jump fully 3 foot out of the water twenty feet from the boat and spit the hook. Just as we're starting to pull in the line the lead core that I had just switched up spoons on 10 minutes earler goes for the first time, 10 + coluors out. Starts peeling line. This fish fought so hard G actually asked for help, which he didnt even do with the Salmon he landed earlier this year Nice 33 inch bow we agreed would be a dad-lad team fish We ended up 5 for 9 in 4.5 hours. Other than one (less than 24 inches) they were all over 29 inches and healthy as I've seen them. Edited June 28, 2012 by spincast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
