A day at the lake

Didn't start heading back into the lake until around 11:00 this morning. No fish visible from the shore which seemed a bit odd. After trying a few different baits with no success, finally started connecting on fish deep dragging a bait at a stop and go snails pace. A few hours later could see fish barely breaking the surface and tied on a tiny popper behind a small weighted strike indicator. A few small fish & then hit two nice ones when placing that popper above a few old submerged treetops where any sinking bait would have snagged. Here's a few pics, thanks for lookin!Attachment 427073Attachment 427074Attachment 427075Attachment 427076Attachment 427077

Very nice

Fun times!:cheers2

Those last two are real nice, looks like the results of a good day.

Pretty fish !

Nice technique with the popper. You earned those fish!

So much fun with the popper, sometimes they are looking up instead of down.

Those are some nice ones

Popper fishing is fun. Your photos are always great. What does a weighted strike indicator look like?

MCG1,
I scored them, then drilled and inserted 1 B size split shot on each side of bottom, then dab of superglue. Great for getting distance with flies/poppers if using UL spinning gear. These are medium size pictured, the large size could be weighted even heavier and used to get good distance with small jigs. As is, they are good for short casts since they have some weight to them from the dense foam they are made out of. I like using these since they have a very small profile. Thanks for asking.Attachment 427196

Thank you. Great idea and it makes sense.

Very cool idea with the floats. Congrats on a fun trip!
