The no work and all play report!
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 10:54 pm
My buddy Jay (J.Bade) and I headed out to one of our favourite lakes on our day off from work.
For this report I'd like to keep the name of the lake a secret but I can say this lake has clay by the ton.
Our mission was to land some bass, pike and maybe a walleye or two if we're lucky.
The forecast was calling for low winds, clouds and some rain... Perfect!
We pull up to the launch, I put the transmission in 4 low and launch the boat... lol
I throw my first cast a few hundred meters from the launch and... El slammo!
With my rod bent over Jay looks at me and says, "You're kidding." ...This is no joke.
I get a sense this is going to be a good day as a few casts later, I land the second.
There would be no skunks on this trip as Jay gets his first, second, and third.
Followed by two more for myself.
We both knew the pike would eventually show up and the first one did with this little guy.
Several more fish would be landed before lunch with a few unhooking themselves at the boat.
We finally stopped for lunch and started up a small fire to dry off a bit.
We put the fire out and head back on the water for the rest of the day catching several more bass and pike in various locations.
In total we landed about 30 fish (unfortunately no walleye
)
All our fish were caught on NorthAMfishing spinnerbaits in less than 10 FOW, with all my fish being caught on a 5/8oz fleeing sunfish pattern and Jay's on a 1/2oz white w/ bleeding tips pattern.
The largest bass caught was just over 3.5 Lbs.
The largest pike would thrash it's way off the scale and into the water.
Worst part of the day was having to leave, but what a great day it was.
Thanks for checkin' out my report.
