    Default First trip for me


    Finally found a window of opportunity to wet a line. Earlier in the week the weather didn’t look very good for today but that changed as the week went on. I started out about 6:30 this morning. A little chilly, air temp was 36. Water temp was 55. The fishing wasn’t real great but I ended up catching quite a few Crappie. Mostly all females which I released. Hooked two males which went into the cooler. Also added a White Perch and a Pumpkinseed Sunfish to the cooler.

    Good first trip. It wasn’t without its challenges. Things don’t usually go flawlessly my first time out but next time should be a little smoother. Hopefully in a week and a half or so I can get back out as the spawn is starting to get underway.

    That's a good 1st trip in anybody's book. That's a nice 'seed at nearly 9"; love the fight the big sunnies give. You did way better on crappie than I did on my 1st trip. Happy to hear you got out finally.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

    Well done Sir, that definitely was a chilly start, but then again you are in Maine so is that t-shirt yet for you guys? lol. 6lb and I have had our fair share of comedy of errors on the early trips (all my fault) out of gas, dead batteries etc.

    Thanks, I really like the fight on the Pumpkinseeds too.

    Comedy of errors was the exact term going through my brain this morning. Outboard was a little fussy with the cold temp, fish finder failed to turn on for about an hour, didn't have my forceps, worst of all I didn't have my slab sauce.
