Went to Cooks Bay Today!

[PatrickGG]

So off i went in search of some Cooks Bay pike thinking i just mite be able to crack my PB "NOT!" fishing was hard lots of wind and rain but i didn't

give up i went 3 hours with out a pike and decided to target panfish and they are everywhere in the bay and they are some crazy fish species they ganged up on my Perch

X-rap and everytime i casted they followed it right back to the boat, I lost count of how many pan fish i caught but i managed a couple of pics of some of the bigger ones;

 

The first perch of the day:

 

The rock bass that shocked me:

 

Nice Perch:

 

Not to bad for some Pan fish at least there wasn't a skunk for the day but i got a story behind it all, i left Gilford shortly

after 6p.m i got on the 400 south and ended up running into this between 89 and 88:

A massive 4 car accident one car flipped over another squashed in the guard rail and one went threw the guard rail into northbound traffic hitting a vehicle head on i dunno how it happened but it was horrible and i hope and prayed that nobody died in this accident.

 

Picture of the northbound lane:

 

I was stuck on the 400 for 3 hours before they opened on lane, during my 3 hours of waiting i fell asleep in my car to wake up to moving traffic so i got up and adjusted my seat and bang the adjustment handle broke off and my seat is basically free swinging on me all the way home .

Looks like you had a good time out there with the panfish - did you really catch the perch and rockbass with an Xrap? LOL

 

Better luck next time with the pike PB.
