AT 30-55
WT 44-52
My truck door was particularly stuck from the rain that had frozen from the night before. Had to give it a good jerk to open it. So l headed for the lake.
I went to my bait hole and water was muddy and lots of debris floating...dang l netted plenty of crappie and white perch, but no gizzards. I discovered the bait had went deeper, around 20 to 25'.
Filled the tank up with dollar bill size gizz. and a few money maker, couple of 12" mongos. Even gave some bait to fellow fisherman who was having trouble catching it.
Went to a favorite stretch of bank an put out a mongo on the bank planer and got started on the next planer. The bank planer disappear so I grabbed the rod and set the hook.
32" fish.
Since I didn't have all my lines out I made a large circle to get set up for another pass.
Put the other mongo on and got to the same spot and the board disappeared. I set the hook and this fish was screaming the drag.
It felt like a good-un and I was thinking hog about that time the hook pulled. Dang@#%$
Went down the bank with no more mongos to offer up and had a float line hookup.
Lost it half to the boat.
Never got another sniff until sundown.
Hit some scattered fish and while I was changing to a fresh bait letting line out a fish chased it all around on the surface. I stopped the boat but it never ate the bait. A short distance another
planer goes down.
25"fish.
Brought it home for blackening.
I really thought this window between fronts would pay better dividends.
But I was wrong. Hey, no skunk though.
