paul. Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 after a good day of fun fishing yesterday, i had to get back to the grind of bait testing. dad was my partner today. always great when he's in the boat with me. catching fish is just a bonus. for the most part he power fished and i fished slow. about 25 fish today. wish we would have gotten there earlier b/c they really slowed down when a front started moving in. usually it's just the opposite. that was pretty strange. the fish were mostly small (i always try to keep dad in the numbers for the majority of a trip). one good kicker. by far the most tense moments of the day were when dad foul hooked a HUGE snapping turtle on his spinning gear. i really thought i was gonna have to figure out a way to get that expensive rattlebait out of its hind leg but thankfully it pulled off right at the boat. good times. 10 Quote

paul. Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 some 11th hour success on literally my last cast tonight. only 2 tiny fish came to the boat in cold front conditions before this one finally decided to show up. better late than never i guess. just goes to show that as long as that big ol' full moon is hangin' in the sky you've always got a shot. wish someone woulda been with me so i coulda got a better pic. 9 Quote
