After fishing last Sat with Ron (fishinone), John (FarmerJohn) and Alex on Ron's boat, we talked about the duct, and since John live only 5 min away from the duct, we decided to get together close to John's home and fish. I need to check out that part of the duct too.
Alex picked me up @ my place and off we go to pick Ron up. We ran a little late and John already at the duct waiting and he said "there are 4 people at the spot", I said "don't worry.....just wait there and most of them just bait & wait" we use lure, so it does not affect us.
We got there, meet up and get ready to the striper hunting mission. While we were out side at the car, there was a guy pull up & asked us how to fish the duct, we show him how we going to fish....lure only and we going in. By that time the 4 people already left.
The gate was wide open and water running fast. The guys want to know how to fish with fast moving water, I cast out & show them how I do......After my third cast & retrieved the lure in, I turned around to talk to John and hook up by the water egde.....caught me off guard.....
The fish used strong current with her advantage....
Z Z Z Z.......she took lots of drag......
When I took couple step from where I hook up, Alex hook up also at the same spot, that was a strong fish too, took alot of drag & crash on the surface, but Alex lost it about 5 second fight...Bummer!
Sorry, you lost your first ever duct fish bro.
By that time I slowly walked down the bank & fought the fish and Ron net for me. Thanks Ron.
That fish weighted 8.5lbs.
We stayed for anothe 30min....nothing, so we move to second spot.
We used the same method at the 1st spot and in my 5th cast I hook up on the other side of the duct, this one took more drag than the first one, I said to Alex...."this one is nicer.....feel heavy and strong". She stayed in the middle at the strong current and doesn't want to budge, I put more pressure on her and she slowly move to secondary current and Ron & Alex help me landed that fish. Thanks Guys!
It surprised me with when I saw the fish, she is smaller than the first one and only weight 5lbs.
We moved to other 3 spots, but no one home and called it a night at 1.50am.
Thanks Alex, Ron & John for the invite and fishing with me :Wink:.
That was my lucky night.....We may do it again some time.
Here is the picture.
