Big moon, big bust

Made it out for some fish today. It appeared that many other fishermen also had the same idea. My choice would have been to go hunting but Ryan asked to go fishing since he gets to more actively participate.

 

Most of the areas we wanted to try already had someone else and I'd rather try a new water rather than crowd another boat. We bounced around looking for some topwater fish and only had few hits and a couple of hook-ups, but only a single bass in the boat. Made it home before the end of the Jay's game.

 

 

 

 

 

Did get a bird the other day as well. I was really hoping to have some fish to go with it.

Beautiful day to be outside anyway, that's for sure. The pictures are pretty small on my iPhone, trying to figure what kind of double you got there in the bottom pic? Nice shooting.

Going to guess an old Stevens double, started on one of dad's in 20ga. back in 65, guy sold me ( actually i stole it for 50 bucks) a 16 ga. about 20 years ago. Think Savage bought them at sometime and continued the same gun under their banner, but that checkering looks like a 50's era gun. Nice bird, they were my favourite.

Same here. My grandfather and I fished from 6am to 9am and only ended up with 2. Ah well.

Ya it's a Stevens 16 gauge that I picked up this summer from EPPS. First bird with it.

Nice way to break it in! Guess it's a keeper.
