Fishing

haha..kidding man. Trust me I get plenty of greef for fishing so much.btw... anytime you want to fish up this way let me know.

We came, we fished, and none of us got skunked. Present with me were the three J's, and Al J (yes, that's algae) although the bloom was down from last week, according to JLG. Water levels weren't too bad, down perhaps four feet from full. The launch ramp still has a couple feet of concrete submerged.

On the other hand, none of us got anything worth keeping - except memories. It was a gorgeous day at Mantua, glass calm until 11:27 when all of us suddenly starting digging around in our craft for anchors. Blowy. Suddenly.

Good guys and good times. Who needs keepers?

Hey Rocky..thanks for joining me today. lets try to do it soon. I want to give mantua at least another shot or two before it freezes.

Choppy and Chilly - that was my day!

Good to meet you guys. That was a nice glassy start, then we actually anchored up and the let the wind work us across the lake. Plenty of surface activity (and they weren't CARP!) and a few blips on sonar here and there, but not much love on the hook.



I did connect with one bluegill (a keeper, just hadn't planned on a solo performance on string!) A dinky trout and dinkier bass that didn't even bother to take a shot. Had a few more swipes and tugs.



I was pleased that with fresh mixed gas - the gas motor fired up well, and ran us back to launch quite nicely. Ok - maybe jdawg would have liked the trolling motor speed! More than a few chops across the bow! Didn't take the wakeboarders to make the waves THIS day!

Sounds great guys. I would like to make one of those outing JLG so keep me informed please.




Some things are better left alone, Even though, some feel they know better.

Sounds like a tough day on the pond but good to hear you guys caught a few. Did you get a chance to try the rod holder? What was the water temp there?
