Another great day out with lulu yesterday. We switched from afternoons to mornings and were close to front of line. Launched and ran out until lulu saw breaking fish. It didn't stick around to go so we crused until the finder showed em. Dropped the rigs and got hit before the second was out. Worked the close area for another 4 or 5 watching them break water in the corners while we both were pulling fish in. We were getting both rods a then a double. Then we headed down and the next point had shad on it and we got a nice green carp then more stripers.
We tossed a small striper and I looked at the watch. 7am and 11 stripers and a Ugb already (10) in the well. We picked a few more including a spot with some larger fish down deeper. We got a couple and one got farmed when the other rod got snagged and I had to stop. We released another small one. We kept moving and then got a few more and another Ugb released. We only needed 5 more and it was 9 am. So we setup for bait... It was all wait and it looked like the fish finder was broken so I pulld the anchor for some quick trolling... Both rods one with a double and then 2 more and we had limits before 1030. I packed up the boat while out on the water to make ramp time quicker. Then caught up with Kahn and bassfan. On the way out fishinone was trolling on the other side so we waved goodby.
I might post photos later as I don't have my camera handy now.
Oh, one of my nice shimano rods was broken when I arrived at the lake. Guess the hundreds of fish finally beat it. I took it other tackle shop I try to always use and they told me shimano would not support them doing rod exchanges anymore for warranty repairs. I have to call them on Monday and deal with them directly. Hopefully they don't make it difficult. I have been only buying shimano and loomis rods lately and the warranty is big. My tackle store buddy also told me that shimano would be only offering 1 year warranties on new rods. Does anyone know about this change or had to navigate this situation lately. Also, do you know if any other retailers have some additional help for shimano rods.
Another weird thing is that one of my level winds seems torun backwards going out so that the level wind is very often off axis when dropping back after winding up. Like. The level doesn't match the wind in both directions. Weird..
So I still had time to hit guitar center and pickup a new guitar after limits for lulu and me, cleanup nda packaging fish, and then tackle store. Back home for a delicious dinner with lulu!
Great seeing the local lips out there. I saw a lot of them.
