Team Pontus returns to SML
10/26 started with a bang let me give an ole shout out to VADOT, first for throwing a detour on 40, then after my dumb butt followed some lemmings down a gravel road pulling a 2420 Sweetwater, we swiftly tried to let a log truck thru, ended up with the toon laid up sideways in a 6 ft deep ditch, VADOT must have felt obligated to come help out me and the building hauler out of the debacle, by 10:30 we were back on the road. Rolled into west lake for supplies, slid her in the water around noon. Headed to bait hole to find it slap full of multi sized gizzards.
Wt 67ish, no wind, beautiful out.
method- 6 PLaners, 6 downlines, and a bobba
bait- 4-9" gizzards no ale
Typical playful fish beating the heck out of the baits, managed my 8YO's personal best right at dark, 33", 15lbs. Was great.

10/27
Wt 65-66
froggy as heck
same method, more of same baits
predawn was crazy, had 2 boards out, boated a 10lber, and a 8lber
lots of action, boated 2 twin 10lbers
ran to town for pizza, back on water by 2
about 4ish, boated 18lber on the PB
come across a point, latched into another, 3 cranks and pow, broke the 20lb leader
right at dark had a shark in the baits, checked them all, nailed a down line, and spun that 30 like it was a zebco 202, turned the fish, handed it to the 8YO, he fought to boat, shot under boat, snapped the 20lb leaded.
needless to say, I was fit to be tied

10/28
Wt 65 66
warm and breezy
same method, same baits
got them out in the dark, and doubled up on twin 10lbers by 6:45, another 9lber by 7:30, and dead...crazy
had to make a pit stop at 10:30 for bait, put em back out at 11 in 90 ft of water, come across a hump, thought we were hung, led to. 9lb pre luncher. Had a little fish fry at the place, back at it a 2, not a lot of action, but that picked up around 4, the 5 o'clock flight was a 8lber on a planer. We started packing, had starter bolt come lose that scored the crap out of us. Easy fix, back at home by 11.
