Been pretty productive overall :tup: Only skunked one day out of 5 that I fished :IBCOOL: Spent Friday resting, Friday night was date night with my wife and Saturday was another wifey day :tup:
Got the jon boat ready Sunday for her first fishing trip of the year and was not disappointed :chuckle: Not much info to share as I fished a "secret" lake today... My best friend of 39 years swore me to secrecy on this lake about 15 years ago, so it's not my idea to keep it a secret, although I can't argue with the logic on this one!
As usual I was the only one on this lake and I hit my first fish on a jig at 6:58am, she went 5.0lbs even. I did not get another bite until noon! It was windy all day so I made my way over to the side the wind was blowing to and started throwing a spinnerbait through the pads.....to give you an idea of how fast it happened I checked the pics on my phone for the time of day the pic was taken and it goes like this:
6:58am = 5.0lber jig
12:00 = 4.5lber spinnerbait
12:06 = 5.2lber spinnerbait
12:14 = 5.8lber spinnerbait
1:53 = 4.4lber spinnerbait
Crazy!! Not unusual for this lake but more often it's 3-4lbers and much more consistent with catches in the double digits more often than not! I did catch one more 4.2lber but did not take it's pic as I was almost back to the boat launch....some of the pics don't do the fish justice (difficult to take them by yourself with a phone and fight the wind and pads at the same time!) you get the idea however :) in all, 6 fish today, 29.1lbs total weight, average of 4.85lbs per fish and the 5 biggest went 24.9lbs!! I'll take that all day long!
Only 2 more days of vacation left....gotta make em count! :tup:
