fished again on sunday the 22nd. water temp in low 70s, lake was low, fished from 11am-6pm. didnt do much, lost the first fish at the boat on a down line about 18ft. never got to see it. an hour or so later got a fish on a down line 20 ft. it turned into a double, and i couldnt get to the second one quick enough and he got off. anyone care to share any tips of what to do went ya get a double or triple when you are alone? had another run on a light line planer at 10 ft., when i got to the rod he let go. ended up with 1 fish about 24 in.

Dang man....you got me itchin...My dang truck is broke down and I cant pull my boat...you prob saw it at the Marina if you put in there..I guess someone is trying to tell me something..

When Im by myself Ive learned that 2 poles is the max..Ive tried 3 and it becomes real crazy real quick and why I have a pole on the bottom of the lake as I type..

Glad to see they are still biting...now if I can figure out a way to hook a boat to my pedal bike I should be set

when i get multiple hook ups I usually try and reach down and give the reel a few hard turns to set the hook alittle better while im fighting one. Aint much after that but hope they stay. Ive had 6 rods go off at once and got 4 in and ive had 4 go off and got 1 in. all you can do is try and horse em up dump em in the floor and grab another really. Makes it fun as hell though.

thanks for the reply. i thought about crankin the handle of the other rod, but i opted to horse the one in my hand.yea, it was like all sh*t, here we go !!! i have had 3-4 rods go off, but it was just as i boated a fish. three fish flopin, line every where, and a fish on again, really got the blood pumpin !!!!!!
