We got out on the lake at about 6am. I honestly was determined to bring in the gold. in florida we catch only peacock and largemouth bass. when Dave H told me that i had on a small mouth my eyes lite up. he was surprised to hear that coming from a real fisherman. he said today were gonna try and get you a grandslam. after catching about four or five small mouth, the large mouth began to hit. just then bam a trout hit the bait. i was very excited. i didnt know if we would get the stripper on. so that went one for about 3 hours. then we moved to another spot and what do you know. stripper after stripper hit the lure. it was offical that i had accomplished the grandslam.
the bite was on steady i dont think 30 mins had gone by without anything. I loved daves boat. Everything was there that i wanted. I know how people are about when it comes to TOOLS and FISHING EQUIPMENT. dave even let me guide the boat around on the trolling motor when he was busy un hooking a bait. I dont think i took one break. I know dave could see that i knew what i was doing. I been fishing since i was 3 years old. its something in me that i was born with. Dave had alot of tips for me but never said cast there, or do it this way, or real faster. dave was the kind of guide i want when i go fishing. Dave gave me a bargin price on the guide service. i also could open up to dave and tell him why i had to leave florida. he supported me in what i was doing with my life. basically the trip didnt have any silenced moments. I could see that dave loved seeing kids fishing and staying outta trouble. he even let us stay a little longer to make sure we enjoyed the trip. overall we got about 20 fish in 6 hours.
This trip meant so much to me. i miss having a ponded stocked with 5LBS in it in my own yard. i live in pasadena and there no good lakes around here. This was my first trip out here and definetly will not be my last. hopefully he will do a buy 5 get one free or half off becuase i will be going every chance I can.
if youve never caught striper before im sure that was an experience. Ive been striper fishing my whole life as a fisherman, and man i love it when Lmb fisherman decide to mingle with stripers for there first time. the reaction they give is priceless. because there like ive never experienced this before. nice job dave, are stripers only hitting by boat or are shore fisherman doing well to. I now know someone with a boat that will take me fishing on it sometimes, but im not sure if i will be going on a boat next time.
If your too busy to go fishin; YOUR TOO BUSY!!!!!!
