Beautiful Night on Beaver
Went out last Wednesday evening, fished minnows in the Indian Creek arm. Lots of bites early but didn’t catch them as couldn’t see rod tip and busy rigging other rods (it’s always easier to rig the rods at home than in a boat holding a flashlight in your mouth). Finally the moon rose (ah, there’s the rod tips) about 10 p.m., or so and caught two (11 and 14 inches) and then they just quit. The green, submersible fluorescent light drew lots of minnows from the 45-foot depth I was fishing. Surprising what you can see go by while staring half-hypnotized down into the light. Fumbled my way back to the ramp about 1:30 a.m., where trouble getting boat on trailer was carefully observed by 5 deer at top of ramp. Luckily the park was totally vacant and my loud muttering only cowered the deer, who finally slunk off into the woods, ears burning. I’m going back this week, devoting all my attention to only one pole. Anyway, it was a beautiful night for fishing and I enjoyed almost every minute of being on the lake, aside from that trouble with the trailer.
