IdahoLunkerHunter Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 So yesterday me and a buddy were fishing at one of our local lakes that is extreme peat bog territory. We have never had a problem before jumping from island to islands. You just usally sink about 2" and thats it. This was an understatement. After about an hour of fishing and landing one fish we decided to move down that lake a bit. So on one of my back casts before we were going to move, I feel straight through into about 4-5 feet of smelly bog. As my buddy is just laughing hysterically and I'm cursing him to come help me out he falls about 5 feet from me. I have not laughed that long and that hard for quite some time. So after about 15 minutes of us both trying to get out we figured out by falling that the bogs were about 3 feet deeper than we thought. The beaver population is huge in this lake and they have trails that are now covered by little lillies so we couldn't see the bottom. We started to target the beaver trails and WALLA! FISH ON on the first throw. We had been fishing the outter parts of the lillies before and figured a much easier way of landing some Hogs. We fished the bogs openings the rest of the day and caught 13. Don't have pictures because we were afraid of falling in and destroying camera. Atleast my phone still works. Biggest fish was right under 4 lbs (Largemouth) Have a laugh on me Quote
