With the price of gas at $1.99 a gallon, heck I can go every day, well not quite
Got to the water at 6am and was in the water within 5 minutes. Fished the flats by Hwy 152 only two get a couple of rises then headed to the island/power lines. There I got into a GOOD fish. The fly fell out of the mouth as soon as I grabbed the leader. I estimate the fish to be 10 to 12 pounds. Boy I thought it was going to be a barn burner day. For the next hour, I circled the island like indians circleing covered wagons. Got tired of that and headed to the buoys and fished up going towards check 13. Then I went inside and got 3 LMB on TW. Nothing big. From there I headed across the Forebay to a cove just off the main channel. Picked up a few fish in there before I had company. Left there and headed back to the flats with no fish. So for the morning, I had a total of 6 fish. Not bad I guess, cause I was talking to a few other guys who were out there and they had the big "0".
Packed up the pram and was going to come home around 1:30 but stopped and took a look at the flats of the Mederios ramp. Looked like I saw a few swirls in the shallows, the pram was off the truck and in the water with the battery, trolling motor, 6 rods and my video camera within 3 minutes. Got out there and nothing, nothing, nothing. I was ready to bag it when OPPS, was that a grab? Made another cast and Fish On! A small one about 2 pounds. Then at 4:00 the bite started. Too make a long story short, I ended up with 6 stripers all weighing (boga'd) around 4 to 6 pounds. Then it was time to get off the lake, what a bummer. I wish they would change the fishing time regulations.
Not a HOT fishing day but not a bad one either.
Let's see a dozen fish, around 10 hours on the water and 2,000 casts. Can't figure what the comes out to be percentage wise.... Maybe I don't want to know
Time for bed, another early day on the water tomorrow morning
