Black Friday on Monroe

After seeing how well Skeetbum and Slab did on Monroe on Thanksgiving morning, I felt that I had to try and see if I could cash in on the action too. I made it down to the ramp at a decent time and headed out into the lake. My last action took place on the east end of the lake so I thought I start out on that side instead of ending up over there. It turns out that I was not the only one who had that thought. There were all kinds of other boats out this morning.

It was a beautiful morning and there was no wind to speak of. I turned on the trolling motor and kicked back to enjoy my coffee. NOT !! a rod goes off. Things are looking good for this morning. My freezer is filling up so I'm only going to keep a few slabs for dinner this time. The first fish was not large enough to keep. Nor was the second one. or the third one. Maybe I should rethink my plan. ah, finally a keeper. I worked the area and had a lot of action all morning. My goal of keeping up with Skeetbum was even fulfilled.

I did get 4 nice size fish for dinner and I had a lot of action. I got to say hi to some of the other boats out there and it was a beautiful morning. What more can a guy ask for?

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Glad they were still out there. Should be cause we left most all of our there. Did any of the fish mention getting caught by two gewbers the day before? lol

Carbon copy of Thursday from the pics. Glad you had a good day and got the fish you wanted.
