Found a few more

Yes, it was cold, windy, and spitting snow this morning--but I hated to leave the fish biting yesterday afternoon. A few fish stayed where I left them, but most had moved on. (You shoudda been here yesterday!) Soon, I did the same.

Slightly deeper water (14' to 16') worked better today, but 5 hours of fishing only produced 13, and only 4 of them were a keepable size. The largest was just over 13".

Other species were more active today. In addition to lots of chains, there were several of these (up to 12.25"):

Watch Andy's new website for up-to-date information.

Charlie- Let's hope she simply spawns out! I tossed her back to grow up.

When you're using fixed line poles, you have to give the fish plenty of time to wear itself out & hope it doesn't decide to make a long run. The biggest fish I've landed with one of those 14' Skeeter Poles was a 13.25 lb. gar.

I can only guess how hard the fight was with that striper on a long pole with out a reel. I bet your shoulders can feel it now! You are going to take a movie with your camera of one of those fights. cool stuff!
