Took the wife and her nephew out

I had some good company today with me and needless to say my wife schooled me on fishing. She was catching more off the back of the boat that I did on the front and her nephew caught his share too. We ended up with 17 overs and 15 unders before my trolling motor batteries petered out. Here is a couple of today catches.Attachment 132025Attachment 132026I did managed to get big fish with a 12 1/2". The second pic is my bride and my fish, I did get a pic of the nephews. Oh and and in the background of me in the first pic is fishk3, he wasn't doing too bad either.

Good Job pat

good job, but i think that is the dark cloud boat behind you in the pic! might have something to do with the trolling batteries going dead.... :-)

Atta boy! Nice catch there bud!

pat, that last spot you and I fished before you left was just loaded. probably had 8-10 fish off each tree. some yellows and bluegills too. then I moved to the next cove and not a fish. you just never know why that happens .

Any size to those fish Wayne?

WTG!!! I thought you had quit fishin lol! :fish

No way goose, now with the retirement of my shoulder from bowhunting, I will be doing more fishing than ever.

not many over 10, but a whole bunch in the 9-10 in range. I did move up the lake a little for the last hr. of fishing and did find a few overs In some standing trees. by then it was getting hot and I ran out minnows, so it was time to quit.

So no more Bowhunting for you? I am afraid that day will come for me sooner than I want! Over 30 years in construction has not been kind to my joints!

I hope not for your sake, I might try getting a crossbow some day.

I have always said I would get a crossbow versus giving up bowhunting.

Pat, Thanks for the great day of fishing yesterday. I enjoyed the company almost as much as the fishing and hope to go out with you again soon. Thanks also for teaching me a new (to me) style of fishing. It was fun. Maybe next time I won't have to wear the blindfold out of the marina so that I can't see which coves we are going to fish (just kidding).

No problem Jim, I enjoyed it just as much. It was a great day on the water.
