Soaking up some Rays....

Friday & Saturday mornings with quite different conditions in the fish staging....Friday found some with preferred long- lining deployment....many fish seamed spawned out w/ only a couple out of the mess w/roe, which had me thinking the specks are in post spawn mode, headed for open water....could of titled Friday's outing as 2 pole Sally, as many double hook ups happened, w/many of next yrs 10" fish thrown back, got busy for a while w/ no complaints what so ever...lol...so Saturday was going to be a test on a different lake to see if the open water trolling would follow Friday's results. Had the pleasure to fish w/Bearlake Slab Daddy, fishing out of his boat...started slow in one area, so decided to try another & thought let's try a little closer to the shoreline & bingo=it was ON ....wasn't gang buster, but plenty steady till calling it a day. We had a late start as Leonard had a tire going down to start, so we decided to drop his vehicle off for the tire repair & hook up to my vehicle & fish while the repair was made. All worked out in the end & Leonard took home a mess....was convinced fish are starting to head to open waters, till I got a call from Leonard stating most fish he cleaned, had roe in them, I was surprised as not many of them showed stretched bellies, well I got fooled & we'll have to see what this next full moon brings...hope some open water action happens for the up coming Slabfest, till then tight lines all!!

Nice catchin', great pics, thanks for status update on the stage of the feesh.

always fun trying to figure out what the fish are doing. That what makes this sport so much fun.

You had a good weekend in good company. Lots of fish to clean too. Glad y’all got it all worked out.
