Trying to beat the heat and waje boats today. Hit a few new spots to no avail. Just as I was heading out of one of my favorite spots a couple gills stopped in to say hi. Chased the skunk away at least. Nothing but sun, heat and riding wakes the rest of the day. Attachment 463931

Well like you said beats the skunk.
Beats the skunk everytime...Got to enjoy the outdoors anyway. Congrats.
sometimes a gill or 2 can make it better than a zero for sure .....
Kept the old skunk at bay. Beats sitting on the couch
Certainly has been hot
I went Friday, and a catfish saved me from getting skunked as well. It was big enough to fillet, so I kept it.
I had another new experience on this trip also. I am sure others have had this happen but to me it was new. Just after catching the gills I hook into something that felt a lot bigger. Trying to play it cool and not horsing it in I let it run a bit. Feeling it tig on my light gear was a fun thing in itself. Well, it was working its way to the boat when suddenly the line stopped vibrating and moving. It was still tight, so I was a bit perplexed as to the situation now unfolding. I first thought a big cat had just decided to stop and lay down on the bottom. I ended up breaking the line. After thinking on this I may have hooked a bass that wrapped the line around one of the many deadfalls in that particular. Was fun while it lasted. :fish
I will take a gill over a skunk any day. Glad you got to go fishing.
