Thread: The Moon, Eagles, and Fish, no crappie

10/20/08

Ok it was a very cold this morning. 28 degrees start this morning.
I stayed took the extra time to let the temp get to 32 before I left the house. Clothes, cooler, gear, camera, scrap the ice off the windows and FORGET the DEPTH FINDERS.

So when I got to the fishing spot, I jumped up an Eagle. Didn't get the camera out for a good shot. I fish all around this spot that has been hot but didn't know the depth that I was on. It's a big flat with a drop, didn't know if I was in the right spot or not, but did my best. With no luck there or the other side. I decide to take a cool picture of the moon.



So after I eat and fish the 1st spot again, I head back down to a deep bank. Next thing ya know there is an Eagle, than another. With one perched and other was making a fly by with I got this cool shot.



Was skunked till I got a hit on the 3" rib grub and throw right back in with the 2" rib grub and pulled in my 1st fish of the day.



Then a few cast later another little pike, but this one was all measles.



Then I got up next to a bridge pillar and scored this nice smallie.



Then on the other side of the pillar was a hungry rockbass, look at his inhale that 1/4 oz. 3" rib grub.



Then I throw back over for another pike.



Next time I need to bring my tripod, LOL.
I thought the day was bummed out when I forgot the depth finders and was fishing blind. :hairpull: Started out cold and fishless, but ended up with a nice 5 fish mix species day.

Fish On!

Sounds like a great day!
