Thread: Tis the Season

Good deal! We will have to make a run to the skeet club one Sunday when forecast is too bad for fishing.

Good on you Skeet for taking the soninlaw!! You are planning on bringing him back aren't ya?! LOL. JK!

You're on Mike. Haven't broken clays in a while. And yes, I'm bringing him back. I'd troll with the ex son-in law for gator.

Hope you guys have a great day! looking forwards to the story and photos.

It is awesome that you have accepted him into your family. Looking forward to the report. Danny

There is nothing like fishing with your son in-law, but can i rent one due to the fact i have three daughter in-laws, the one thing i'd noticed is how all the bills went down now that they are all married, the one that really went down was the grocery bill. The funny thing is the food bill for the holidays went up triple, but that's the great thing family being together.

Hope you and your son-n-law load the boat. I'll be looking for your fish post and pictures.

As agreed on Mike was here at 5:30 and off we went. Stop for fuel and coffee and next stop is the ramp where Speck Detector was making his rig ready for the day in the parking lot. Stepped out and Huntinslabs is hollerin for us to hurry up. I'm in good company. Crapslabstu was already headed for the lake and was seen going north later in the day. Slow is the only description fitting the first hour or so and we didn't give up hope. Started on the north end and though we got a couple I knew there was better to be had. Somewhere. If I could only find somewhere. Worked our way west without much improvement and finally headed south to where my GPS tracks showed where I had fished a few weeks back and started getting a bit more busy. Mike showed me up catching the majority of the fish and the larger of them too. Having told him how to manage a good fish and not pull them free on the way to the ramp I have to say he's a quick study. No fish that we started to the boat got free. His big fish was a sneeze under 14" and over 1 1/2" thick. 12 made the clicker and 5 made the live well for him to take home, a full quart bag of fillets. The wind did the exact opposite of Wednesday by calming down about 9:30 instead of turning to gale force. We rolled em in at about 9:30 as he had another Thanksgiving dinner to get to at his Mom's and had that not been the case i would still be there. It was downright pleasant as we headed for the ramp. Here's the pics as promised, and his friends had already seen them from his phone. He was a happy boy. I don't think this will be a one and only trip. Thanks for sharing this first trip of ours, I really enjoyed it.
