Jen Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I needed to be on the water on the 20th, but the day just didn't come together for me. So we launched the boat on the 21st out of Sugarloaf Marina in the fog. A short run and we dropped anchor! The day was for my brother! Fishing was who he was, who we were together! Competitors, fishermen, warm or cold, good or bad weather, finding the SPOT or not, we always tried and today we did that... finding where the other boats were in the fog a few miles from the boat launch was a bonus, staying when most of them left a chance, limiting out a bonus! What a great day with some great people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wow, you certainly are lookalikes. And yes, at this time of the year, float suits are indispensable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 8.8 lbs once all cleaned and bagged...not bad for a couple of hours. Minnows were from Erie Tracker... tiny little guys but they worked wonders And yep, float suit for perch. She was warm and I didn't have to hear it from my dad about taking his baby girl fishing in NOVEMBER! You have no idea how that would go! lmao! Better to be safe than sorry!
