Santa Fe Dam ambush

[sgtskunk]

went to santa fe today with Pvt Skunk (aka my son). got there around 12:30 and to my surprise saw a few people there. we set up on the west end near the boat ramp we had lunch and started fishin. I set up Pvt Skunk with a NC on his cars fishin pole (he did not get anything on it, might be that shark line it comes with). I layed out my weapons of mass destruction It was about 15min into fishing when I got the first strike on a white rooster tail. I let lil man reel it in I wish I could have got a picture but I have to hold the pole up for him. we got the lil guy in took a pic lil man would not get near it so I returned him to fight another day. I used the white rooster for another 45min and caught 2 more. Then switched to a silver kastmaster and pulled in one on the 3rd cast pvt skunk pulled that one in also, to sum up the rest of the day we caught a total of 8 (lil man reeled) in 2 and lil man lost another 3 still has not got the hang of keeping the line tight. I only got pictures of the 2 Pvt skunk pulled in but they were all the same size more or less. It was a great day only spent $7 on lunch and lil man had a ball. He should be ready for corona and the vine this time next year. good luck out there everyone.

Hey I seen you guys out there! Thanks for saying hi. J/K dude. I seen that you had your hands full. Yeah, I seen your boy reel one in. He done great!. I didn't start catching them until I started fishing on the east side of the ramp, and after I started catching them, I couldn't keep them them on the hook long enough to bring them in. I'm thinking about hitting up SFD again tomorrow, since Legg Lake is gonna be packed with poachers. Hopefully I won't have the same problem as today.
