I could have done without the big treble stuck in my hand but we did have a pretty good day fishing. The fish pics were not the biggest but we figured we better throw a couple up at the end of the day. Ron and I put around fifty fish in the boat up to about 2.5 pounds. Still not seeing any really big fish. Young of the year Gaspereau seems to be the food of choice right now with a bit of crawfish in the mix. We are still seeing large clouds of bait out there and the occassional feeding frenzy with schools of bass busting into the bait. Always just out of casting range though. I played around with a ” Donkey Rig ” for a while and it was fun but I am not sure it was worth the work. I may have to read up on it a bit to see if I can make adjustments to it. I was throwing it on a 7′ Zodias MH spinning rod, a 2500 Stradic reel with 15lb Power Pro Slick tied to a 14 lb Mastiff flouro leader. It is worth playing around with a bit more to see if I can keep the tangles out of it. Ron was doing pretty good on a Shimano World Crankbait until he got cut off in the rocks. The lake was seriously low and I most likely will have to revert to the jet boat on the next trip.
Ron did get the hook out of me with the help of some ice cold water to numb it a bit and then a quick snap with a pair of plyers. Thats two in me in a week and I have only had three in a lifetime of fishing. Always an adventure out there, maybe we will see you on the water.
