Took a mental health day on Friday 4/19. Hit the Passaic looking for a toothy critter but struck out! Threw all of my pike go-tos for NADA. Some days its chicken, some days its feathers!

Later that day I met up with a buddy on the Musky and waited in our spots for the 5 o'clock whistle and commenced fishing. I wound up with 10 cookie cutter rainbows on butters and rooster tails. Kept four for the smoker.

4/20 I hit Seely's Pond. Wasn't looking to travel far and wanted to see if I could re-live last June's 6 lb brown encounter. The area along the road was pretty tight with bait and waiters--none of which seemed to be catching. I plopped my ass on the top of one of the spillway columns and started tossing a CD-3 in UV green/fire tiger. I must've selected the right lure b/c I smashed 10 rainbows in like 35 minutes lol--many of which were pretty damn small. Had one "larger" one which was a pleasant surprise. The bait and waiters actually started leaving and looked pretty aggravated. I love that hahaha... Handed a few off to some people and called it a day.

No monsters but kept the line tight--a good wknd for me. Catch em' up!
