    Default Side trip at Raystown Lake


    Had to travel about 3 hours east for National Guards this weekend. Packed the Lunakia in the car to make a stop at Raystown Lake for some shore fishing. I've never fished this Lake before but would like to fish it during the spawn. It is about an hour from my house so I decided to stop and see if the crappie were in the shallow water by the one boat launch. Didn't catch any crappie but did manage a few bluegill biggest about 8 inches. Talked with another guy on the pier doesn't sound like anyone has been catching them shallow yet. My brother in law is camping there for the next week and a half. I may have to take a day off and try to locate them with the livescope. Name:  20220513_171244.jpg

    Nice looking fish. Hope you can get out and find where they’re hiding.

    Hope you find them next trip. Maybe your brother in law can keep you posted on the activity there.

    I hope you get to go after them soon in the boat. It sounds like a promising location.

    My mother taught me if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything.

    I don't want to talk bad about my in laws, so I'll just say, his target species when fishing is green. LOL

    Told my wife I was taking a day off to go fishing there, she asked when cause if your going I'm taking the day off also. Looks like we will be meeting up with her brother on Wednesday.

    The wife and I had a nice day on the lake, despite not a lot of catching. I forgot to take the waxworms out of the fridge when I loaded the cooler for the boat, so we used crappie nibbles until we met up with her brother for lunch on a small island on the lake. I also broke a rod tip on one of the TCBs. I had the TCB's strapped down on the boat in rod socks, I looked in the mirror and saw them flapping. Pulled over and moved them to the reat seat of the truck. When we got to the lake one of the tips was broke. Used the same method of super glue and a sewing needle as Jawjatek to repair it. Eradicator STS repair (crappie.com) Lesson learned about rods in the boat going down the highway. Not real happy about a broken tip but thankful it wasn't one of my JDM rods (they were in the rear seat of the truck).

    Ended up catching around a dozen bluegill around 6 to 7.5 inches, hooked a small bass but didn't get it into the boat.

    Upate on super glue: it failed today, I noticed tip was spinning on the pin. The pin was still glued very solid in the lower section, but the top just slid off the pin. I cleaned well with acetone, re-glued with Gorilla 5-min epoxy instead of superglue, which myself and others have decided epoxy is better, less brittle and able to flex a bit. We shall see - it is drying now.
