Monroe today

Got to park shortly after opening. While getting everything ready I noticed Flycaster and stopped what I was doing and walked down to holler at him (mistake). Got launched and headed to OPP and started pullin. Stood up to net a fish and bilge pump came on, remember mistake, yep forgot to put plug in. Luckily auto bilge was taking care of it. Monitored that and only came on about every 30 minutes and maybe pumped 10 gallons each time so carried on. Finished a little before 10 with 25 in live Well and probably another 10 throwbacks. Just pulled a straight line pretty much from OPP to Pyramid at 1.3mph. Pearl and bubblegum/chartreuse were hottest colors we had today. Syvia enjoyed the laid back troll across the lake. Hollered at Flycaster again on way out. Did not recognize any others out today. Hope you all have a great week. See ya on the water.Attachment 323996Attachment 323997Attachment 323998Attachment 323999

Good day Mike and yep the females seem to be plumping up real nice.

That was a good day out. I fell asleep way early last night and set no alarm, so I didn’t wake for the early out thing i usually do. Thought about the lake but went river instead. Might have to go do that again.

Fish on the table and a smile on Moms face, all good there buddy.

Great seeing you Mike and Sylvia. I did not recognize the voice when you hollered.
Started off great, first fish 14 inches, 1.43 lbs.
Ended catching 11 with 6 in the box.
Entered the big fish in the COASTAL ANGLER DERBY, tied at fifth place with the 1.43 Lb. Heaviest fish entered was2.25 Lb

Done it twice. Went to drop off the truck and came back to water in the floor. Thankfully no one blocked the ramp and no way the pumps could keep up. Felt so dumb. It’s part of my “before I leave the house” routine.

Mike, sounds like a great day, glad you were able to catch some & stay out without the plug in.

Nice fish John :ThumbsUp
