Pickwick lake waterloo/bear creek

[TowboatTroller]

Well went out for first time this year in new boat. Mainly just trying everything out playing you know! Lol got all the drift socks out lost a brand new reel and pole!!! Feel off of rod holders on big wave! Ha there back to riding in the floor of boat again! I've broke and lost at least 5 this year sucks! Did see lots of fish on graph wished I'd got better pics just thought of it at end of day. I trolled couple hours at least 20-25ft deep water temp 39-40 bear creek and 42 waterloo. Never had a bite jigged bridge with 1/16 monkey milk then hair jigs at bear creek. Tried the mouth then way up it no good. Water slightly stained surprisingly but pretty windy day hey I was the only boat at ramp lol. Broke a few things learned a few things getting ready for good times! Making vegetable beef soup with deer now relaxing spooling reels for next week's lake Washington trip! Hoping for few to eat that's all.

Yeah, I was down there sunday and the water was starting to get dirty at 2nd creek, I got 2 to bite out in the 13ft range, I was longlining.
Never made it over to Bear,may try it Saturday.

Are you talking about loosing a rod out of a rod holder for fishing or a rod holder for transport? If it was one for transport I always place small bungee cords or Velcro straps over mine to secure them.
