Thread: Doubled my score

Good job. Way to hang in there. While they never go away, they do lessen with more time on the water. Congrats on the fish.

Sounds like you are doing something right. I only had 2 cats my first try. I'm gonna try it some more before long and I hope to improve.

When I realized it and started it backup I had drifted back over my lines and wrapped a line in the TM. I thought I could idle the big motor to keep the other lines from tangling. Well it was over the lines as well and wrapped too. I just cut the lines and headed to the landing. I learned what has been said about never stopping!!,,lol. This was my second time pulling cranks so I am learning the hard way, but lessons I will remember.
I got to the landing and removed the lines form the motors and the wind had laid. So I put back in and tried along the dam. I caught 8 good fish from 10 to about 2 with 3 shorts and a small cat. I caught them in 25 to 32 FOW with 80- 100 feet of line at 2mph. That is twice what I caught on my first outing.
When I got to the landing there was, I think a guide with 2-3 guys in the boat that had caught 2 so I was pretty happy. I caught 4 on my first try. Another double and I will be up to a limit!!

At least he gave ya his 2 so you caught 10. 8 in the lake and 2 in the parking lot.

He said his guys didn't want to clean just 2. I told him I was cleaning anyway, so thanks.

Good job, keep at it!!

That's just part of the learning curve. Way to stay with it and make it happen.

Thanks to you as well.
