Bullets calls me up at work Friday afternoon asking if I wanted to do a night session at SARL. Since Saturday was work day, and Sunday was rain/wind day I said why not. I don't get off of work until 5 pm, but I got home rather quick. We entered the lake around 6 pm, and all of the "good spots" were already taken. We found a spot by the boat dock that looked like fishy. There were definately plenty of fish around there. Bluegill kept tapping at Bullets' N/C until the sun went down. There were also a lot of jumping carp in the vicinity. I went for trout and cats while Bullets was focusing mainly on the cats. I started off with plastics and inflated N/C, and Bullets has N/C on both. After no love on either of my poles I pulled in the plastic pole and started throwing out various trout and bass lures to see if anything was around. I hooked into a rug...yes a rug...pretty close to shore. I had my water-proof boots on, and the water was shallow enough for me to walk out and get my lure back. All the while Bullets' poles are getting nibbled on by bluegill. As he's reeling in to check his bait he notices that there is a fish on the other end. The stripe was off his back for the day. He later landed another one around the same size.

I wasn't able to buy a bite. No matter what I threw out (N/C, plastics, lures, powerbait, everything) I couldn't get anything. Finally, after the sun was already down, I see a little bit of movement on a pole. The wind was blowing a tad, but you can tell the difference between the wind and a fish. Sure enough it was a trout. It probably only weighed 14 oz or so, but the skunk was off my back as well.

That was it. Bullets and I packed up and headed back at around 9:30 pm. It was pretty chilly that night, and the bite seemed to be elsewhere. Still, it beats sitting at home doing nothing.
