Grandparent's greatest adventure
Lake Tarpon,
Wednesday, April 1st
Water temp. 70.4 degrees, wind out of
s-sw 3-5 mph, temp at 7am - 64 degrees.
My Grandson (Turner - 15 yrs) commenced
out second fishing trip of his lifetime.
4 yrs ago we went Bobber- gill fishing at
Lake Thonosassa.
This time out - plan was to Long-line lake
for Spec's. Turner handled situation like
he had done this for years. Set up his
own double hook lines, picked his starting
colors and layed out a long-line pattern
with 6 micro-lite rods.
We worked 6 - 7 ft contour north end
by weed line- took several gills and few
small specks.
Moved into north to south pattern working 9 - 11 ft holes and contour
into wind (now up to around 9 -12 mph
out of s-sw) took mostly spec's little
bigger. By now its around 11am, have
changed colors on 3 of 6 rods keeping
to speed from .9 - 1.1 mph.
Most fish being taken on black/chart tubes, roadrunner Bue Cheese & Yellow
curley tails, Sliders - being sour grape
& black/chart.
Moved to west side of lake down by
Dolly Bay - working south in 12 - 14' ft
Spec size picked up......at 2:30 made
2 northbound passes over brush piles on
east side (nothing taken)
Kept 16 spec's nothing under 13",
thew back 37 gills/spec's -no bass,
no gar, no catfish.
13 inch spec's weighed in at 13.78 oz,
14 inch spec's weighed in 15.20 oz
16 inch spec's made 1 lb 1.5 oz
Believe me there was no finer time or fun
experienced by myself than to watch my
Grandson catch, bring a fish in -and see
the expression in his face & eyes......
It is a look that i will remember rest of
life. Thank the Lord that was able to be
involved with taken him fishing.
I truely thank with all my heart my Daughter & Son-in-Law for this opportunity to take Turner fishing.
