Long weekend funk
figured I might as well post the bad reports too and not just the good ones.
Thursday after work I pre-fished for a Saturday bass contest. My conclusion was...you're screwed. Got a few pickerel and perch but only one small bass.
Friday my friend wanted to go for hybrids, he doesn't get to fish much these days and it's basically my personal responsibility to get him on fish when he actually gets a chance. I failed. Trolled til both batteries died and we crawled back in using the paddles. We got two nice 13" crappie, but not the target. Had two other friends out there in two boats and only crappies and a lm bass for them too, no hybrids.
Saturday had the bass contest. Along with some by catch of 4 pickerel and 4 big perch I managed 3 average bass which surprisingly was good enough for 4th place and enough to keep my head above water regarding the full year standing contest. I guess everyone pretty much sucked haha.
Sunday I'll put in the saltwater but let's just say you can call me the dogfish master and I have zero fluke fillets in my fridge! At least I didn't get skunked any day I guess...
I'm starting to really hate the phrase "that's why they call it fishing, not catching"! Hahaha
