Cane creek lake 10-11

I hit the water this morning about 8:00 only to be greeted with a pretty stiff wind ,much more than I like to troll in. Water temp was 74.We longlined 1/16oz sliders,mosty in deeper water 20 foot plus.I had a fella with me,Jerry Rubin from charlotte who had never trolled ,or fished from a boat before,,he enjoyed the boat ride and the fishing,,he even hit it off with RJ,(my dog).We caught a good many fish,had 35 keepers before I had enough of the wind.The lord blessed us with a nice day on the water,..
RJ started off on the tiny side,

We planned to got this morning but saw the forecast and decided to go tot he movies instead. Glad you got on some fish and took some one for a first boat trip.
Now I know where to fish next trip.

Thanks for the report and congrats on hanging with the wind and catching a nice mess to take home.

Oh,I forgot to mention that the day ended better than it started.I had to stop to get some gas,,RJ,didnt want to stay in the truck,so I closed the door,and commenced to pumping my gas.RJ stood up to look out the driverside window and STEPPED on the automic DOOR LOCK.Wham,I was locked out:banghead:.Luckily,I have experience in getting in that truck with doors locked.The next stop was at the gate/entrance of cane crek park,,this time to be on the safe side I rolled my window down.I walked over to pay my fee which is on the passenger side. RJ stands up in the passenger seat,and this time he steps on the window button and rolls the window down while the guy at the gates is watching.:RoflHe looked like he knew what he was doing as he rolled it down.

Way to go Sam. Aint nothin wrong with a good four legged first mate. Glad ya" ll found some hungry fish.I have learned that puttin two windows down with my mutt in the truck is a good idea.

At least he did not get in the front seat of the boat and take over like Ronnie's dog, Roscoe did. Dogs are funny sometime.

Lol, I thought that was you going by with your boat as me and Dad pulled out heading to Stumpy.

Nice catch and thanks for posting

Another good catch, I can relate to getting locked out by pooch. Thanks for the fine pics and report.
