Fishing with Friends

We had some great fun fishing with Monique and Herman Allain this week. Monique hadn’t been fishing with her dad for many years and it seemed fitting to get them both in the boat and head for the lake.
Monique started the day off with a solid 3.5 lb Smallmouth that turned out to be the biggest fish of the day by a little bit. Herman gave it has all and almost caught her but it was not to be.
The bite seemed off a little and I am sure that the 78 degree water had a little something to do with it. It took a slow presentation and most of the fish came to the boat today on a green pumpkin BPS Sticko fished Texas rigged.
Herman got quite attached to my 7’2″ M Cumara and stayed with it for the day. Monique and I were using Crucial 6’6″ MH. All of us were using 2500 Series Stradics with 20 lb. Power Pro. Lots of fish made it to the boat today and it made for a fun day on the water.
It was pretty remarkable listening to Monique’s accomplishments. She has been volunteering for the Olympics for years and still found time to work on and complete her PHD in Sports Psychology. She is currently the principal at the school in Gagetown New Brunswick,very talented with a great story and made for a great show.
