Catching up with last summer
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 10:22 am
Last Saturday, back from last week non fishing vacations, I found a Shimano hat in the mail box and had to go try it on...



Little Cleo and I jumped into the boat and headed out to one of our large mouth hole. The weather was sunny and warm and the bass, as well as a few small pikes, did cooperate with me. No giant fish but good numbers with half a dozen in the 3lbs range.
Was it due to the new hat... I overfished Little Cleo. That was the first time in a long while...
Next day, we decided to venture further away on the Ottawa river, to troll for some larger fish.

However, at first, things did not turn out as planned. I did share my hat with Little Cleo, still waiting on hers, for a little toothy critter portrait.
Then, it was my reel's turn to bounce, while the rod was screaming in its holder... After a short and intense fight, a nice golden log of musky filled the net.



After a quick pic, the nice musky was released to fight another day.
All in all, a good hat breaking week-end
