Halftime Report, South lake and surrounding areas.

[jeff4321]

Well, I've been working hard here at Parchers and fishing 29384 times as hard. Alot of things have happened since the last report that I posted. The 57 event, multiple stockings, and even more fish. I have lost count of the alpers that I have caught thus far. I dont bother keeping track of the stockers/dinks that I have caught since I have been up here, it must be somewhere in the hundreds.. as far as browns and brookies, they are in the dozens (not quite the hundreds yet =P) Anywho, the fishing has been on fire, with few dry periods. Alpers everywhere, in fact..today JULY 15th, Alpers were dumped into South Lake, and to top it off, DFG dumps 450 pounds of fish in South lake WEEKLY, so you would imagine.. fishing is RED HOT. I really don't know what else to say, but pictures are worth a thousand words. 90% of all the fish we catch are released to fight and bite another day. The other 10% were to feed me =P All fish caught on Powerworms or Minijigs or SHINY METAL- haha

*note* not all fish are pictured.

DINK-


We named all the alpers in Weir pond one day, this one is Dan.


A bunch of 1 lb alpers in Weir




This is Donna

No comment- fish caught on a Lip Ripper, << which I don't like using.


One day, I decided I'd try out the big bait theory (big bait, big fish). I was huckin' a Krocadile that has been sitting in my tackle box for at least 6 years and I ripped an alpers lip.. take a close look.


This brookie hit my Kroc!!


Jared's younger brother Lane and Josh (i think thats his name lol) with a nice 2 1/2 lbr


One weekend my cousin came up to visit with a couple of his friends and Ryguy and I took them on a guided trip to Weir Pond. Everyone got on fish, these were just the ones we kept.


On one of our days off, Ryguy and I hit up Convict lake (OVER-RATED!!) and got 15 little guys in a couple hours.. talk about SLOW. Anyway, i got this 1/2 trout??- little stubbs??


A 2 lbr outta Weir


Solid 4 lbr out of South Lake- this one was kept because Alpers are the biggest wimp fish ever after you land them, I tried reviving him but he just wouldn't go.


This lunker tipped the scale at 5.12-tried releasing this one, but he wouldn't go. I spent a good 10 minutes reviving him.


And this was the latest alper caught, a 3 1/2 lbr, caught it on Sunday morning. The weather has been lame and rainy, so I've been inside.


Hope you enjoyed the Half-Time report, more lunkers shall be slain!!! =D

Nice job! We didn't end up with anything that big on our trip. Nonetheless any time spent up there is always priceless.
