Got up to the lake Friday evening right before dark. Put water in my tank and took off to get bait hoping to be done quick because I knew it was going to get icy. Rolled the dice on a close creek. Got lucky and was able to fill up with 70 baits in the 6"-10" range in about 4 throws. I was back to my dock in 30 min. If only it were always that easy.
Had lines out by 6:30 Saturday morning. Had a bunch of nervous baits but couldn't get a hit. Considered moving but decided to stick to see if they would turn on. Finally once the sun got up in the sky they turned on got two 28" a nice fat 30" and this 35" that went right around 19lbs on my bogas.
Things kind of cooled off action wise. Made a move was able to pick up another 28". Moved again and picked up a 29" on a flat. Just as my TM batteries crapped out caught a huge green fish. Didn't weight it but had to be 6 or 7 lbs.
Sunday I was planning on letting it warm up a bit since the bite was slow first thing in the morning the day before. Had lines in by 7:30 and it was on right away. Picked up 5 in pretty quick fashion all ranging from 28" to 30". Had lots of action, I missed a few and had some pretty spectacular chases that never materialized. Things cooled off again. Was able to put one more 29" in the boat before I had to head out for the weekend about 10:30
