First Trip of the Year!

Unread postby Boogieman1 » Thu Feb 28, 2019 9:36 am

Have been chomping at the bit to get out on the water and get after some fish. Weather has just been horrific for months, record rain, one cold front after the next with not much sunshine has shut me down. Water temp is well below normal and lake is spilling over. Couple that with the pre spawn and u have your work cut out for ya to find em.

All this work and no play had me beat down so I told my wife I'm going fishing no matter what! Woke up to once again thunderstorms. Waited until around lunch for it to break but never did. So I said screw it I'm going and decided to take my lil 2 man with a trolling motor under a bridge and fish the Piliars so I could stay out of the rain.

Had a blast! Man, it felt good to get back out there and feel the bite. Fish were deep around 15' not my fav fishing I prefer extreme shallow with 6 inches of line hanging off my jiggin rod. But not complaining it sure beat sitting around the house.

Final result, ready for a grease bath.

Thanks guys! Sure was fun and I fish in a target rich enviroment so wasn't any special talent. I'm kinda what u refer to as a one lake wonder. Lived here my whole life and fished this same mudd puddle since I was 10 could find every stump and channel in it blind folded.
