100
Yesterday marked the first day of winter and my 100th trip of the year! It started at LCR--
There was a bit of early fog
but that soon burned off and you couldn't ask for better weather!
The water was 51* - 53* and very clear. Grass is dieing slowly and coves are starting to clear--but it has a long way to go. Lots of FAV is drifting through the lake & that will take time to wash ashore or sink.
Unfortunately, the bite only lasted an hour. I landed 10 (4 keepers), but as the morning wore on and spot after spot gave up no more, it was time to get out of there.
Next stop--Diascund.
With near-perfect weather, the initial bite was very slow. WT was low 50's and there was a little FAV, but not as bad as LCR.
As the afternoon unfolded, the nice weather gave way to dark clouds, wind and (finally) rain, but the air stayed at 60* or higher! Throughout the afternoon, the bite improved steadily!!
An hour into the afternoon, Doodlum and son arrived. I don't know who taught that child to fish,but he kicked the old man's butt all afternoon!! Rofl
Next came Ranger690 & daughter & Uncle Howard (SeaNymph161). You'd think the afternoon was a Chesterfield County outing!
When it finally became too dark to see the corks, I packed it in and pulled the boat out in the rain. (Lined up & loaded perfectly on the first try, Howard.) For the afternoon, I landed 46 (9 keepers).
Trip # 100 was a wonderful winter day & a good time was had by all (except the fish.)

That's ALOT of fishing but also alot of fun times....100 trips. In 2010 I fished 55 days and this year I've fished 64 days so far and I thought I went ALOT. It's always fun getting back on the water though. The bonus for you yesterday (other than the fish of course) was bumping into friends. That's always a good thing.Thumbs Up Congrats on your 100th and the keepers you got.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

I plan to fish that day (2/24/2047), too. Hopefully it won't be icy or cold.Originally Posted by genec
This year will probably fall a bit short of last year's 104 trips and WAY short of 2009's 144 trips.

Having Frieds to fish with is special. Having a friend to rely on is very special....Cork thanks for the backup on the way home.

If you can wedge an appointment into his busy fishing schedule, maybe Donnie will drop by and supervise while you crawl around under the trailer. :D

As always love those pics, I now save opening your posts until sometime in the day when I'm at the point of trying to reach through the phone or come out from behind this desk and strangle someone. They're better than a high dollar shrink.
