AT- Mid 40s
WT-53.5
I enjoy seeing the success of other SML fishermen on this board so I thought I'd share my report of the day. First off I live 2.5 hrs. from the lake so my trips there are few and far between. Got to the lake at 8am. Spotted bird activity in the vicinity of R30. Dropped my offering of a super fluke jig an BAM fish on with a max of 10 seconds fishing time!!! Proceeded to catch several more in the 25-26'' range. My wife was having trouble getting the hook in them and was missing quite a few fish. Well she must have got mad about it because she finally got the hook in a fish and set the hook so HARD she broke the reel base!!!!! So I had to help her get that one in. Somewhere along the line I caught a nice largemouth. Fish activity slowed a bit and I had never been up the river very far so I went on a boat ride way up the river not sure exactly sure where I was ( R60 area probably) but decided to pull out some musky tackle and troll for muskys (dgif stockes them in that area) while I ate a sandwich for lunch. So I picked a couple of lures out of my musky box that looked like they would make a fair offering for a musky or nice striper. Got the lines out and didn't even have my sandwich down when a rod started bucking. I proceeded to land my PB striper that was right at 35'' long!!!! Man was I jacked up!!! Little later we headed back down to R30 and the wife was able to get one last fish before we called it a day. Caught 7 total.
