Last chance before the bass guys get out there

[kickingfrog]

A good day fishing but a frustrating one as well. Lots of action but a few musky follows that ended in no hook-ups and a group of gar that we couldn't get to bite left more questions and a lot of what ifs.

 

First fish of the day was a smallmouth out of 12 fow on a double 10.

 

Since we've established that the suspending husky jerk works we tried just about everything else in the box.

 

White x-rap

 

Perch crankbait

 

Live target herring

Nice fish! I'm dying to get out...haven't been for 2 years

you guys are really getting your money's worth out of the new boat

[kickingfrog]

That's the idea. If I didn't use this one it would be hard to justify the next one.

Very nice fish. I have to comment on the fact the water is calm, you're not alone in the boat and still you wear a PDF. You set a good example.

It's a habit I got into when I used to do some whitewater canoeing and solo canoe tripping. I also grew up on, and in the water and back BK (before Kids) I used to do a lot of triathlons. I have a healthy respect for water and part of it is setting an example for my young kids but I also fish with a few people who don't know how to swim. With the inflatables it's easy now. I put it on and don't even think about it until I get in the car to go home.
