Earth Day Pickerel
Today I went up north (well north of me) to one of my favorite spots. The bass were on beds so it became a pickerel day. I caught 9 and missed another 5. They were all over 25 inches and fought like crazy. I had a battle with a giant that I finally got to my feet, then it bent my size 3 mepps and broke off the hook. I almost dove into the lake after it. Its awesome pickerel fishing in clear water. A lot different from the cedar water of the pines. You see them come out of nowhere behind the lure and attack.
Then I went over to Columbia lake since I haven't been there in decades and its closed with a fence blocking the road. So I took the 3 hr ride back home.
