HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 In consideration of what I've been doing to the Smallies I had to do a name change! This is just friggin sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm ruined for the rest of the year. Mass Hole Mike was originally invited but something came up at the last minute. So I gave my friend Matt a call and we hit a Cape pond today for SM. Launched@ 6:30AM pulled out @ 3 PM.By 9:20AM I had 16 3lbs+ SM boated Matt refused to switch baits and by this time he's only got 1 LM @ 2.5ish :-/ I have no idea how someone can watch the other boater land that many pig's and not switch baits????? it's beyond comprehension! :-? Matt finally switch when the number hit 22 to 1 ;D He ended up w/1 LM and 4 SM Anywho, I completely shattered my last two SM outings by landing 38 SM @ 75lbs + 8-) won't even bother w/the pickerel count. This has ruined me for ever! Never would I have thought it possible and I'm still mesmerized findinding it hard to focus on anything else,I'm off to a banging year but know it can only go down hill from here:( All fish where plucked using the same drop shotted robo worm on 8lb Elite.) Water temps where in the 57 to 60 range. Air temp started out @ 55 and rose to 67. Winds where 8 to 10 @ the start but around 2PM turned up nasty gales of 30 to 35(That's a guess,NASTY STUFF) We pulled up to 4 beds I pitch to the deepest of the 4 "WHAAAAAAM" it's on a pig Bronzeback!!!! 3 minutes in "SNAP" :'(Depressed as all get out, we move on and I catch a half a dozen more 3's. I go back to her hoping she's back"SHE IS"!!!!!! I let her take a little longer and set the hook "BLAAAAM" I got her this time!!!! I play her out ;)under and around she goes my spool and line is screaming! Then she goes under and around the trolling motor......Snap"! :'( :'( I don't understand!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm really bumbed, she's not only broken off twice she now has a 1/O hook in her gullet :-[ Is there any possiblity of me getting for the third time???? WHAOOOOOOOOOOOOO the fight is on yet again!!!!! UN-FRIGGIN BELIVABLE!!!!!!!!! She faught for close to 5 minutes straight ;D here she is Miss branzeback herself! Yes! I also got to remove the other bait and hook from her! I'm dailed in to the Smallmouth zone Baby!!!!!!!!!!! 8-) Thank you GOD!!!!!!! You would not believe how many boats aked us what we were doing becuase there were no fish on the beds! ;D Quote

Someone didn't prioritize. i know right, i thought that was pretty inconsiderate of my sister-in-law, too! you'd think she could have at least planned her graduation for AFTER the spawn, instead of DURING it! ;D Quote

Super User Tin Posted May 23, 2008 Super User Posted May 23, 2008 Stafford the 1st? Clubber or solo? And ad for Carbuncle, I would tell your guys to reconsider. That is one of DEM's favorite ponds and they have been known to enforce that bs rule about "hauling or launching a boat with any gasoline engine" there. Quote

All our point T's are singles,yet guests are welcome for up to 3 T's at $10 per entry after 3 T's you join or your done. I think they might have changed the rules this year where the guest must fish from the members boat who invited them. Previous years they could use their own boat. I'd have to recheck that one. As far as Carbuncle goes I'm opting out on that one,it's just rediculous : Quote
