Epic. Just simply another epic day of fishing. And this time, I had company…

This really is still happening.

We got there about 7 and after fiddling with our gear and issuing the challenges for the day, we were wet by about a quarter after. And more importantly, we were both bit within 5 minutes and it just didn’t stop. Anything off of the bottom would get bit. You can run it on the dropper loop or inflate the crawler or simply attach a marshmallow (which is what we did), then just find the fish and bend goes the rod.

Note that I said “find the fish”. I want to point out a few things. The water is super clear, the bottom is super clean and the lake is brand new. If you have a sonar, NOW is the time to use it. If you don’t have a sonar, NOW is the time to get one AND to learn how to use one. The lake is a perfect classroom right now for you to learn what fish look like on the meter, how to watch your bait fall on the meter, what a balled up school of cats looks like and a ton of PRICELESS information that typically have a LONG learning curve before you can distinguish them without this type of idealized scenario. Out there last night, I wasn’t even watching my rods, just the screen. When the screen would light up, I would throw the float tube in “halt”, count to 5 and then watch the rod tips dip into the water. I was able to find the “ball”, stick on it, and finish my limit in short order. And truth be told, anybody could have done it. This is a far cry from tricky, “you better know the lake” style, sonar reading. This was, “see a bundle of squiggles 20 feet thick, bring the bait into the cloud and HOLD ON”. Truly a ton of fun. If any of you guys are interested in learning how to put your sonar to good use out there, shoot me a pm. Maybe we could set up a little “in-house tutorial”…I’m just looking for any excuse to get back out there and “teaching” is one my wife typically buys!!!

What a great time on the water. Watching the sunset with a limit in the basket is always a good thing. Some people have an uncanny ability to hide the fact that they are stoked to have caught fish. Personally, I’m really bad at that…
