    Default The wife only gets out of bed for slabs


    My wife is not a morning person. Usually I get up this time of year around 2:30 to 3:00 am to fish. She won't do it unless she believes it will be worth it. I have been waiting for the bite this spring to be getting better and the weather to be a little better for her and today's timing seemed like it would be right.The wife only gets out of bed for slabs

    So this morning she woke up a little after 3am, got in the truck and rode with me to a pond I have been wanting to take her to for a while. It has a really cool boat ride there and really nice fish.

    We were fishing 5am and had caught around 20 fish by 7:30. I always tell her the best fishing happens early but she just can't get up. I think today she agreed.

    We had a great time. The sun was shining and it warmed up from low 40's to 60 or so fairly quickly. We released all the females which still had their eggs. Kept a few males for supper also. Water temp was up to 55 degrees this week.

    Went to a nearby pond at 7:30 to see if we could manage some more males for the fryer but only caught 2 females. However we managed some Pumpkinseeds to add to the meal. Great morning and I am glad she came out on such a nice day.

    Most fish measured 14 inches. With a couple smaller ones here and there. Here are a few pics.

    Nice of the Mrs. to go with you this trip. Glad you were both able to get some. Getting up that early and NOT getting a few would have been a major bummer.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.
